Quiet enough that two separate campers reported seeing no other people during their stays, this free BLM dispersed site sits off Lower Rishel Peak Rd on a gravel surface with open sightlines toward the Bonneville Salt Flats. The site includes a rock fire ring and sits on a slight rise. Verizon cell service has been confirmed. No formal trails exist, though the open desert terrain allows for wandering, and a nearby cave is worth exploring. Rishel Mountain Dispersed Sites and other options are clustered along the same road. Bring all supplies from campsites near Wendover before heading out, as there are no services on-site.
