Dugway Pass Dispersed Camping

1 ReviewAdd Review

Rock fire pits mark pull-off sites along the Pony Express Road as it crosses Dugway Pass, where Bureau of Land Management maintains free dispersed camping on open desert terrain. Each site provides vehicle access directly from the historic route, with campfires and pets both permitted under BLM regulations.

Rockhounds use the area as a base for collecting at nearby geode beds and Topaz Mountain BLM Dispersed, while wildlife watchers report regular sightings of antelope, wild horses, and sheep herds moving through the high desert landscape. The remote location offers minimal cell service and no developed amenities beyond the fire rings.

Serene views of the Great Basin

Many dispersed campsites surrounding the Pony Express Road over Dugway pass. The geode beds are nearby, as is Topaz Mountain, both excellent rockhounding experiences.

Each campsite has a pull off and a rock fire pit.

Expect to see antelope, herds of sheep and wild horses!
