Description

National Forest

Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest

Dispersed camping allows you to “get away from it all.” Peace, solitude and adventure are some of the advantages to choosing an undeveloped campsite. Since there are no facilities, you must bring your own water, camp at least 100 feet from all water sources and dig a hole at least six inches deep for disposal of human waste. Remember all Forest rules and regulations apply even in dispersed sites.

Peaceful and pretty

We got in late, but had no problem finding it and setting up. We just stayed for one night, but it was great. It’s right by Sawmill Trail head if you are going there.

Further up the mountain

We went further up near intersection of 157 and 158. Lots of open spots and almost no one around. Height of your rig could limit site selection. Even with high roof Sprinter we had some issues with low branches. Lots of shade. No real views, but lots of privacy. Some trash. Not horrible, but a good reminder to pick up after yourself so we can keep these public lands open.

Lots of Spots In This Area

After a near disastrous attempt at finding a spot in the Champion Rd area (thought we would get stuck on that road) we came back down the hill and found this nice spot that was very easy to get to in our 26ft class c.

Even though we weren't at very high elevation, the weather was still cooler than Vegas, which was nice.

Cell reception was very, very weak.  The Verizon phone had a glimmer of an LTE signal with the cell booster, but the ATT phone had nothing other than a couple of texts popping up on a hike.

Our favorite part about this spot was all the hiking trails within walking distance.  Right across the highway is the Sawmill Trailhead which is where 4 different trails start, varying lengths so you can choose your difficulty.  Lots of horses use these trails as well so keep your dogs on leash.  The trailhead also has garbage bins and toilets in the day use area which was very convenient.
