Quiet and easy access

We found this spot quiet and it had easy access off from hwy 95 as you're entering Tonopah from the south. We found plenty of room to park, but be sure to drive to where the area is the widest but before the road starts to go downhill.

Tonopah dispersed near BLM office

This dispersed camping site is located right off highway 95 in Tonopah, about half way between Reno and Las Vegas. It is not a destination camping site, but a great place to get some sleep along the way. The best way to access the site is to take a right off the freeway onto the large gravel road, just south of the BLM office. (Wouldn’t advise going through the BLM parking lot as the map directs you, as it takes you to an AWD dirt road instead…this was not good for our eurovan;)). There is a small butte between the highway and the road that provides a little sound barrier between you and the traffic. There was another RV parked up the road a bit and plenty of space in between. Overall this campsite provides a peaceful and restful night along your journey. Tonopah seems to be a bit windy and a fine layer of dust accumulated in our van during the night so you may want to “batten down the hatches.”

Road side stop

This is a great place for a easy roadside stop. It appears as a dirt road beside the BLM office that is easy to miss. It basically a wide gravel road that is large enough for bigger rvs to turn around. If you travel past the last large spot the road narrows. We were still able to turn around with a small trailer. Fairly quiet
