Free dispersed camping along a highway corridor, North Wash sits on BLM land with rough access roads leading to scattered sites. Campers park directly off the pavement with minimal site development. The area allows campfires, pets, and alcohol but provides no water or restrooms on-site.
Pit toilets require a drive of one to two miles toward the Hite Marina rest area. Several slot canyons lie within a mile of the camping area, making this a functional base for campgrounds around BLM Land — Richfield Field Office exploration. The highway location means road noise throughout the day and night.
