Volcano Peak Campground is dispersed camping at its finest. It’s located in the Silver Island Mountains in northwestern Utah near the Bonneville Salt Flats. Instead of trying to set a new land speed record on the Bonneville Speedway, set up camp and let the tranquility wash over you. This secluded area makes it a perfect environment for everything from lizards and birds to bighorn sheep and coyotes. If you’re the adventurous type — and if you end up here there’s a good chance you probably are — it’s a steep climb to the summit of Volcano Peak, but the reward is worth it.
With a panoramic mountain view and backing two of five casinos, the Wendover KOA has it all. Located just 10 miles from the world-famous Bonneville Salt Flats, where customized cars set land-speed records, you'll find excellent fishing, birdwatching, hiking and even scuba diving in the area. Whether you're attracted to the casinos or the wild mustang herds that frequent the area, or you're looking for an oasis at day's end, this is a place to kick back and relax. The Wendover KOA (Mountain time zone) is open year-round, with a seasonal heated outdoor pool, mini golf, a grocery and souvenir shop, laundry and much more. Enjoy large pull thru sites. This campground is big rig and pet friendly. Pool: Memorial Weekend - Labor Day Weekend. Max pull thru: 80 ft.
No overnight camping on the salt flats. No driving vehicles on salt flats when wet or flooded.
The potash production canals north of Interstate 80 (I-80), located just east of the Bonneville Salt Flats, are leased and managed by Intrepid Potash and are located on a mix of private property, State of Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) land, and Bureau of Land Management-managed public lands. The canals are industrial facilities leased to Intrepid Potash for potash mining activities and are not designed or safe for public recreation. Therefore, the public should not access, swim, float, kayak, canoe, or pursue any other recreation activities in these industrial canals. In addition, the Utah Highway Patrol has indicated that parking along I-80 to access to the canals is illegal and extremely dangerous due to the proximity to the interstate highway.

Merdock Mountain side between a small town Named Montello When you are looking for a quite place in Elko This is peaceful. Small Town has a school with 15 kids and everyone knows town members by name. One bar serves food sometimes and one bar is closed sometimes. I'm looking to create a small community feeling with the 5 acres I will grow the trees and create a space that's safe.
The sun tunnels are 54 minutes one of the closest natural attractions aside from Toano it's 36 mi away when a drive South to wendover it's about an hour and 10 minutes if you want to save gas if there's a shortcut but it takes more gas to take also called peep is in that direction same story if you want to save on your gas mileage if you want to take the 2 hour and 30 minute route if you would like to drive the shortcut it is 1 hour and 57 minutes and more gas. When I drive north of here you can see snowville it is an hour and 51 minutes when you drive West into Elko there's the trail of the 49ers it's 57 minutes away ... I checked a few other campgrounds and Parks so grouse Creek rodeo is also 1 hour and 25 minutes away.
