Haystack Mt OHV Area

Off-road vehicle enthusiasts find a straightforward base camp at this Bureau of Land Management site, where four concrete-pad sites accommodate large RVs on level ground. The gravel access road presents no grade challenges, and two sites offer pull-through convenience. Each site includes a picnic table, pavilion, fire ring, and grill, with vault toilets maintained across the camping area.

Located well off the main highway, the campground sits adjacent to multiple cell towers, providing strong T-Mobile coverage according to recent visitors. Walking trails and off-road vehicle routes extend from the camping area, though winter months typically see reduced OHV activity. The two farthest sites face outward toward open country views. For those seeking different accommodations, Alamo Road Camp provides an alternative about 20 miles away.

Beautiful!

Such a deal for $5 a night! Some great walking trails, as well as trails for off-road vehicles. We were here in January and there were no off-road vehicles and only one other camper. We also encountered an absence of spiders, but ferocious winds. Pristine vault toilets, with ample toilet paper at the time of our visit secured by a giant padlock. Excellent T-Mobile coverage since you are directly adjacent to a forest of cell phone towers. Quite a ways off the highway so traffic noise is minimal. Four sites with picnic table on concrete pad, pavilion, fire ring, and grill. Some sites are pull through, and all would accommodate a large RV. Excellent gravel road. No grade, flat sites. Two sites are handicap accessible which means there is a paved sidewalk to the vault toilet. The views from the two farthest sites are spectacular. Stays limited to 14 days. There is an overflow parking lot, and a campsite host to keep everybody in line.
