Peavine Road Dispersed Camping

While RVs and trailers can technically access the Peavine Road dispersed camping area, it's not ideal for larger rigs. The road conditions may be challenging, and the available pull-offs might not accommodate larger vehicles comfortably. The open terrain does provide space, but the overall conditions and safety concerns make this location less than ideal for RV camping. Consider alternative dispersed camping locations in the greater Reno area that might offer more suitable terrain and safer conditions for RVs and trailers.

Dispersed camping is allowed along Peavine Road near Reno, Nevada, with several pull-off areas that offer views of the valley. The camping areas are located on public land northwest of Reno. There are various spots as you drive in, with more options further from the main road. However, the areas closer to the main road tend to have more permanent-looking setups and may feel less suitable for overnight camping. For potentially better dispersed camping options in the area, consider checking BLM land about 15-20 minutes north on Red Rock Road instead.

When dispersed camping on BLM land near Reno, follow standard regulations: camp at least 200 feet from water sources, stay a maximum of 14 days in a 28-day period, and practice Leave No Trace principles. Pack out all trash and waste. Unfortunately, the Peavine Road area has significant issues with accumulated trash, abandoned vehicles, and improper waste disposal. Fire restrictions may apply seasonally, so check current BLM fire regulations before your trip. No permits are typically required for dispersed camping, but always verify current regulations with the local BLM office before your visit.
