Best Dispersed Camping near Spring Creek, NV

Great dispersed camp site minus the cow pies that we're all over. Free range cattle may show up randomly.

Much like the other reviews there are a few easy to get to spots off of FS Rd 660. After turning right onto the FS gravel road you can take a left or right to dispersed camping spots. If you continue straight you end up at a private campground, but plenty of space to turn around. We turned right off of the FS road, there’s revel spots easily assessable via car, we went further down, rock crawling, high clearance required, and found the perfect spot nestled in the trees about 10ft from Lamoille Creek. Spent 4 days there and only had two other veichles attempt to get further down. If you turn left off of FS 660, there are about 4 spots easily assessable, but if you keep going the last two spots (high clearance required) are right next to the creek, one with shade, one not so much

Several dispersed camping sites before you get to the actual campground. Good spacing on the sites for privacy. Easy access to the creek for clean fresh water. Beautiful views!

This is a beautiful day use Picnic area ((Power house for groups and single picnics) on the banks of Spring Creek. They have great views of the Creek very nice clean restrooms and the host Dale is the best.

Free/dispersed only. The hot spring is amazing and worth going as far as you can down a very rough road. We camped right next to the warm creek, about a quarter mile before the hot spring and walked to the spring several times a day. There were days when we had the spring all to ourselves, weekends got crowded. Scenery is beautiful with the meandering warm creek and the mountains. Did we mention the roads were incredibly rough? Otherwise five stars.

Official campground is only open May-September. As noted by others there are a few dispersed sites off the entrance road to the official site. Views are stunning but most of the better sites are high clearance vehicle access only, with few turn around locations. Highway noise isn’t bad off hours, 1 bar ATT, none with Verizon. WeBoost helps.

At least 6 dispersed sites on the road leading to 12 mile hot spring. If you get lucky , there is one spot at the springs and a few past the spring. We stayed about .20 miles before the spring along Bishop Creek. The creek water is warm from the hot spring and made for some fun exploring and even cooling off on a hot July day! We stayed for two nights and saw people come and go to the hot spring but very few people camped. Expect locals who visit the spring for a day trip. No services, take everything with you!

East Humboldt Wilderness is a nice, quiet spot for camping. It’s pretty easy to find, even after dark, with just a short dirt road to get there. The area is clean and feels safe, with a good view of the surrounding landscape. There are free-roaming cows in the area, which added a unique touch—they kept to themselves, and we did the same. Overall, it's a peaceful place to camp if you’re looking for something simple and off the beaten path.

We went to have a looks and less than a mile in the road was covered by several feet of snow. We have a 4wd and I couldn't have gotten through without damage.

I live close by, but love to go out and spend time traveling up here and just enjoying the scenery. The wildflowers are fabulous and there are just so many of them. I really enjoy looking over the beaver dams along the creeks. The mountains are great for hikes,I just have yet to do it due to bad ankles from broken ankles, but; have had friends tell me they enjoy it.

Worth a stop in the spring for sure

Good view felt safe and my fiesta sedan made it with zero issues. There’s a big spot for a U Turn as well

Road out to angel lake closed so was humboldt loop

It was a gorgeous spot. Definitely had to use the get directions button to get there. Bumpy dirt road to get back here but nothing my Chevy equinox couldn’t handle. I had 2 bars of Verizon service at the tub.

This spot is amazing! I’ve been coming for years. However the road has no maintenance and is genuinely scary at times especially if wet. The first time I came there was a truck abandoned bc it had fallen off the Cliff past the bridge. Spooky. This is not a road you can do in your big rig or Subaru (too low). Every time I’ve come back the road is significantly worse. The potholes are massive and shake my truck like nothing else. There are entire sections of road missing and washed out with giant gashes. The lower road is worse than MOST of the upper roads. However some upper roads are only for dirt bikes with no way to turn around. Did one in the rain in my truck earlier and was scared as hell. The water is warm and lovely it’s very relaxing. There’s only two sites near the hot springs the rest you have to hike in to get to the springs. Happy travels!

Really great quiet spot on a Friday night to camp. I was the only person parked overnight. The road is rough but was fine in my outback. There are places to park just off the country road with a 2 mile walk to the hot springs, or space along the creek with a .5 mile walk or less to the springs.

We had a nice stay with some pretty views. A couple comments.

• there are signs about it being private property at the entrance so not sure exactly what’s going on there. We saw three other cars/trucks and decided to camp over night.
• people comment about the road being rough. It was definitely rough but our 4x4 sprinter 144 got back there*.
• road is washed out with about .8 miles to get back to the hot springs and unless you have a highly modified jeep or side by side, you aren’t getting all the way back.
• woke up to cows all around us mooing which was pretty funny.

This is truly a great place for experiential tourism. Prepare all your equipment and enjoy the warm spring air. I am planning a 15 day trip. The atmosphere is what I like most about geometry dash lite spring when doing this trip. You can bring photography equipment or photos for memories.

Clean, pretty spot by the creek. Which is nice and warm from the spring. And a short walk for a dip in the hotspring.

Great day trip to the hot springs. Brought the dogs & let the run to have a blast. Went in the AM and barely had anyone around. That changed as we progressed into the afternoon (note this was on a Saturday).

Know the road in is really bad so you’ll need a high clearance vehicle. Or you can do the “hike” that would essentially be a brisk walk.

The hot spring water temp is perfect. There’s plenty of room though when I went there were few people there. The road out is pretty rough - you’ll need clearance though I made it in my Subaru Forester. So glad I came here.

High clearance vehicles only. We camped 1/2 mile before spring. NO camper trailers! No RVs! Road is just too bad.

Road is rough going in but fine with 4wd, lots of spots along the way to park we stopped at the river. Hotsprings is a short walk

I spent three days here in the middle of a week in August.  Perfect place for a hot nude hike in and out, and a nude soak at the destination.  I met a few people as I was hiking in and then back out, but they didn't mind the fact that I was nude.  One couple on the trail coming out were hiking nude as well, and there were several people soaking who were nude also.  A few people were textile, but they didn't mind the rest of us.  The area where I camped wasn't crowded during my entire stay and I was nude the entire time.  I'll come back again.

this spot is so special, road is extremely difficult/had three creek crossings about ankle to knee deep. we made it all the way back and had the place to ourselves! super clean and worth the trek

I arrived way after dark, it was late so I couldnt see anything. Got up the next morning and saw the creek, high rock walls. Took a hike and explored. I also took a bath in the hot springs. If you are in the area, this is a must stay at. You do however, need a high clearance vehicle. The road is pretty rough.
