Fishing, hiking, OHV riding, and kayaking are all accessible from Wilson Canyon BLM, a free dispersed camping area along the Walker River outside Wellington, Nevada. Access runs off paved Highway 208 onto a dirt road; one camper with a 30-foot rig towing a Jeep reported no issues, though not every site accommodates larger rigs, so scouting before unhooking is worth the extra few minutes. Vault toilets, fire rings, and trash cans are on-site. A 14-day stay limit applies. A free dump station is available at the Log Cabin rest area in Yerington, roughly 10 minutes away, with full resupply options in town. Campers looking at camping near Wellington will find Walker River Resort a few miles up the road as an alternative with additional amenities.
