"campsite with a great view, plenty of fallen wood, privacy, and big enough for a small group. good road to the site but washed out further down. safe for even small cars."

"We wanted to do some dispersed camping near basin and range nm...we couldnt find Basin and range national monument. Were barely able to turn around our rig and come back to this CG."
"Lots of dirt roads for hiking and biking. Hot Creek a mile away if you like hot spring soaking. Campground is large enough that people running generators were not too bothersome."
"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."

TravelerWe wanted to do some dispersed camping near basin and range nm...we couldnt find Basin and range national monument. Were barely able to turn around our rig and come back to this CG. Road looked recently graded but would not reccomend driving a big rig any furthur than the campground. Wide open lot ..free easy in and out if you have a long trailer. We stayed 2 nights..fishing seems the thing to do here..
RangerFun 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. 
ScoutThis is an interesting, remote desert campground at 5500 ft. elevation. There are pit toilets which are maintained, plus there is potable water and, amazingly, a dump station. If you like to be in the desert surrounded by beautiful mountains, this is your place. It is rustic, but there are picnic tables and curved shade shelters around. There are a few scattered trees. There is room here for 20+ campsites. I am here June 20, 2024, and the place is only 1/3 full. Eight day max stay and free. Very dusty, 7 mile gravel road to get here off highway. All in all, I have enjoyed the desert environment. Very quiet. No reservations. I rated it a three because it's pretty rustic and remote. Came from Ely, NV to the north. Fill up your gas tank in Ely, as there is only one gas station in 77 miles.
GuideWindy the first few days, but the views, the birds, and the opportunity for activities all great. Lots of dirt roads for hiking and biking. Hot Creek a mile away if you like hot spring soaking. Campground is large enough that people running generators were not too bothersome. Pit toilets kept well stocked, if not well swept or mopped. Most sites have shade/ wind shelter. Our biggest joy was being serenaded by the birds that frequent the WMA and 3 bars of ATT.

TravelerIn the Wayne Kirch WMA near Sunnyside, NV. Desert oasis surrounded by mountains. Well stocked pit toilets and many water faucets around the grounds. If you like hot springs, Hot Creek is one mile away and has rustic developed pools. A myriad of dirt/gravel roads for hiking and biking and the 5 reservoirs popular for fishing within a few miles. First few days we were here, had some wind form the north. Most sites have a shelter/shade protection from the south. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful restful time listening to the host of birds attracted to the area.

TravelerDown 7 miles of dirt road, camp ground has several tree and some camp spots have wind/shade shelters and tables.. no other services . lots of goat heads sticker plants on the ground. It was not crowded when we were there would probably go back
GuideThia camp ground was easy to get to 5 miles of gravel maintained road. Pretty level, summer hot , but I think spring and fall would be nice Pit toilets (out of paper), picnic tables, spots where a little over grown. Good cell service (verizon)
