BLM by Salt Flats - Dispersed Site
BLM by Salt Flats, near Wendover, Utah, is a fantastic spot for those who enjoy the freedom of dispersed camping. This area offers stunning views of the salt flats and mountains, making it a perfect backdrop for a night under the stars.
Visitors have praised the location for its wide-open spaces and the ability to find a secluded spot away from others. One camper noted, “If you keep driving the road, there are some secluded areas that have relatively level parking.” Just be prepared for some bumpy roads typical of BLM land, but it’s manageable for most vehicles.
The lack of amenities means you’ll need to come prepared, as there’s no drinking water, toilets, or trash services. However, the freedom to have a fire and the ability to bring your pets along makes it a great choice for those looking to unwind in nature. Campers have enjoyed the breathtaking sunrises and clear night skies, perfect for stargazing.
For those who love adventure, the area is ideal for hiking and exploring the rugged landscape. Just keep an eye out for rattlesnakes while you’re out and about. Whether you’re looking for a quick overnight stop or a longer stay, BLM by Salt Flats offers a unique and beautiful camping experience.
Description
Bureau of Land Management
No overnight camping on the salt flats. No driving vehicles on salt flats when wet or flooded.
The potash production canals north of Interstate 80 (I-80), located just east of the Bonneville Salt Flats, are leased and managed by Intrepid Potash and are located on a mix of private property, State of Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) land, and Bureau of Land Management-managed public lands. The canals are industrial facilities leased to Intrepid Potash for potash mining activities and are not designed or safe for public recreation. Therefore, the public should not access, swim, float, kayak, canoe, or pursue any other recreation activities in these industrial canals. In addition, the Utah Highway Patrol has indicated that parking along I-80 to access to the canals is illegal and extremely dangerous due to the proximity to the interstate highway.
