"The campsite according to the map is an entirely different campsite; so ignore all the information, pictures and reviews.
These are all FREE campsites."
"There are pit toilets but no other amenities, not even trash, so please take your trash out with you.
Camp sites are scattered all along the main road, and broken up into area numbers."
"Well maintained dirt road and toilet! Great hanging with all the cows. Amazing views! Don’t use Apple Maps. Google will get you there on the easiest road."
"Situated by a pond with lots of birds made our stay very peaceful. Lights of a nearby town (Malta) could be seen from a distance making this spot even more lovely at night. Pitted toilet."
"Basic BLM land, dispersed camping about 2mi outside the City of Rocks on the Bread Loaves side, perfect for rock climbers."
"Easy access on a gravel road, open field with 5 stone firepits. Relatively hard to find a level spot, but not terrible."
"We ended up finding this spot to when we were looking at camping near Independence Lakes. It is a dispersed camping. The site was big enough for 3-4 trailers and had a picnic table and a fire ring."
"Really long gravel from highway to site. So far off the highway that it is complete quiet and serenity. Had firewood there and a fire ring to build a fire. Also a picnic table. Beautiful views."
"Took close to two hours from Salt Lake City, once you turn off I 15 you’ve still got close to an hour."
"Was a beautiful location for one night, but not much more than that. The Golden Spike park is on the way which is nice to stop by at. Was windy on the night we stayed, no fires."
GuideHUGE disappointment. We drive 3 miles with our TT on a long steep dirt road, to find an overgrown site with no "spring". The trees and grass have taken over and the spring was dry. You could see exposed pipes, maybe the re-route that water in the summer? There are two sites (supposedly there are 5), one of which is completely exposed to the sun, the other is located close to the "spring" within a mangled mess of weeds and overgrown trees. With the hot temperatures and high winds, we didn't want to risk it. If you have travel trailer, 4x4 is recommended as the road is rough and steep in places. The turn off the highway is VERY tight, watch out of the cattle guard if you have low clearance.
GuideWe ended up finding this spot to when we were looking at camping near Independence Lakes. It is a dispersed camping. The site was big enough for 3-4 trailers and had a picnic table and a fire ring. I recommend anyone coming in with a trailer or Rv to come in from the Elba side opposed to the Oakley Side. If your looking for a nice quiet location located a few miles from a nice hike to the lakes this is the place. This is one of those hidden spots for those wanting to stay a few days hiking or taking out their ATV/UTV.

GuideAbout 3 1/2 miles on a semi maintained gravel road. Lots of cows. Nice quiet spot with some picnic benches. There are a few nice spots. Plenty of room to turn around. Pit toilet, but no other amenities. Not worth driving out of the way to stay here.
GuideGreat spot! Well maintained dirt road and toilet! Great hanging with all the cows. Amazing views! Don’t use Apple Maps. Google will get you there on the easiest road.
RangerWhat a great find during our travels through Southern Idaho. Situated by a pond with lots of birds made our stay very peaceful. Lights of a nearby town (Malta) could be seen from a distance making this spot even more lovely at night. Pitted toilet. One site had picnic tables. Decent cell coverage.
Google maps led us down an unpassable road. Instead take Tiffler Road/1250 S from the 81 for a smoother ride (still dirt but passable in a 2WD vehicle).
ScoutBasic BLM land, dispersed camping about 2mi outside the City of Rocks on the Bread Loaves side, perfect for rock climbers. At least 3 rock fire pits spaced out for several different groups with plenty of room and flat areas for tents. Appears to be a similar area on the other side of the road too
GuideWe tried this place as a quick weekend Overlanding Trip to get the kids out of the house.
Took close to two hours from Salt Lake City, once you turn off I 15 you’ve still got close to an hour. The road wasn’t too bad, pretty Wash boarded but fairly certain most cars could do it if they are careful around a couple of spots.
There is a train museum along the way that looked pretty interesting.
Once you get there, there’s a parking lot right above the spiral jetty, you could park there and camp if you wanted.
If you have a bit more of an off-road vehicle there is a couple of camping areas down just above the Lakeshore that we camped in. You will need a 4 x 4 with decent clearance. We did it with a stock suburban just fine.
We couldn’t even see the water line, dry Lake bed is pretty much all you can see.
It was rather fascinating to look at and we did enjoy the time there. But I don’t feel like it would be a place I would want to camp more than one night because I think the kids would get restless.
GuideLooks like a nice spot with a pit toilet, but there is only 2 spots that I saw, both taken. Ended up pulling my truck next to the gate to get a few hours sleep. Wouldn't plan this stop. Amazing views. Cows got in the fence
