Great BLM pull off!

This campground is in the middle of a large BLM area with lots of pull offs. Be careful if in a low clearance vehicle, though, because some roads look like roads but are actually UTV trails!

This spot has clean vault toilets and about 10 spaces with picnic tables and fire pits. If you take the road to the left, there are more clearings for camping which is where we stayed.

It was quiet and beautiful with only 2 UTVs driving by at about 8pm. You could see every star! No trash anywhere.

We found this place by accident but hopefully more people will see and use this awesome campground!
