Rainbow Mountain Springs

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Rocky road conditions define the approach to Rainbow Mountain Springs, a dispersed camping area managed by the US Forest Service within Toiyabe National Forest. Four-wheel drive is necessary to navigate the rocky access road. One reviewer noted some road noise at the site itself, worth factoring in for those prioritizing a quieter overnight. Cell service is available, and pets are welcome. Campers who want to explore campgrounds around Blue Diamond or nearby dispersed options like Toiyabe NF Dispersed near Mountain Springs Pass will find this area has several alternatives within a few miles. This site suits self-sufficient campers with capable vehicles who don't mind some ambient noise.

Just okay

A bit of road noise. You need a 4 wheel drive to make it up the rocky road.
