Best Dispersed Camping near Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Headquarters

3 Reviews

Several free dispersed camping areas exist near Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Headquarters in Nevada, with varied conditions and amenities. Outcrop Rock offers a secluded BLM camping spot approximately one mile off Highway 93, accessible via dirt road. This location accommodates both tents and RVs, allows campfires, and permits pets. The distinctive rock formations provide a sense of remoteness despite proximity to the highway. Verizon cell service has been reported as reliable at this location.

Horneys Rest Stop BLM dispersed site allows alcohol and is big-rig friendly, but prohibits campfires. The site permits pets but lacks basic amenities such as water, toilets, or trash service. A recent review warned of poor conditions, noting "toilet paper and trash everywhere" and describing the area as having "minimal privacy" with a "sketchy" atmosphere. Upper Lake Road BLM Campsite represents another free option in the area that accommodates both tents and RVs, though it prohibits pets, alcohol, and fires. Fire restrictions are common throughout public land camping in this region, with only Outcrop Rock explicitly permitting campfires among these free camping spots.

    Outcrop Rock

    Cool rock cropping off the 93

    Fun little spot for the night right off the 93. BLM land. You can see two distinct rock croppings off the highway. Turn down a dirt road and then right on the first turn off. There are two or three areas where you can camp. Probably not the best for long term, but great for a night and pretty secluded. The back drop of the rocks makes it feel even more remote. I had good Verizon cell service. You don’t really hear the noise from the highway. About a mile off the highway. Good soft dirt.

    Horneys Rest Stop BLM - Dispersed Site

    Suitable as Plan B Only

    We had planned to stay the night here as a mid point stop between Bryce Canyon and Mono Lake. Pulled in and every space was open. But the vibe was sketchy. Toilet paper and trash everywhere. Close to the road and minimal privacy. Despite being tired of the road we decided to push on for another 4-5 hours. I would only consider this if you were simply too exhausted to go further. Then I’d lock the doors and sleep lightly…

    Outcrop Rock

    Good for a couple of days of nude hiking

    I spent a couple of days here in August and did some nude hiking around the rock areas.  I  had the whole place to myself for most of the time.    It was hot, but that's perfect for me since I'm nude all the time.  I'd return here when I'm headed to the Lake Mead area in the near future (one of my very favorite nude destinations).
