Highway 50 cuts through Utah's remote desert landscape, and Millard Desert Camp sits directly alongside this sparse corridor. This dispersed BLM camping area accommodates large rigs with wide-open loops and multiple parking zones on both sides of the road.
Campers can stay near the entrance for quick highway access or drive through the gate for more secluded spots further from traffic sounds. The sandy terrain requires attention from 2WD vehicles, particularly in the areas beyond the entrance gate. Jack W. found "plenty of wide-open loops for rigs of any size to find a spot to park overnight." The road surface includes some soft spots and a hole near the gate that drivers need to navigate carefully.
Vehicle traffic on Highway 50 creates background noise, though multiple campers note the sparse nature of this traffic, especially during off-peak seasons. The area sits in open desert with expansive sightlines in all directions. Cell service reaches this location, and campers report finding solitude even during busy travel periods.
For those exploring the broader region, places to camp around Garrison provide additional options. "Traffic sounds but traffic is very sparse," observes Cheryl D.. November through early spring typically offers the most comfortable temperatures for desert camping.
