BLM Weston Hills

Weston Hills Recreation Area offers minimal amenities. The site has a pit toilet located in a small parking lot. There are no water sources, hookups, or dump stations available. The area lacks trees and shade structures, so be prepared for open-field camping. The primitive nature of this BLM land means you'll need to bring all necessary supplies including water, food, and any comfort items you might need for your stay.

Weston Hills Recreation Area can be accessed via a dirt road that runs through both the national recreation area and the special BLM area. Look for directional signs to guide you. The road conditions can be challenging with deep ruts in some sections, so a high-clearance vehicle is recommended. The site is located approximately half a mile off the main road. There are no entrance fees required for this BLM land, making it a budget-friendly option for outdoor enthusiasts.

Weston Hills Recreation Area offers several recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. ATV riding is popular with designated trails beyond the parking lot. The area is suitable for wildlife viewing, including a bat habitat. Hiking is possible throughout the open landscape, though there are no marked trails. The wide-open spaces make it good for stargazing at night. The area is also shared with grazing cattle, so visitors should be respectful of the livestock and maintain appropriate distance when encountering them.

The best time to visit Weston Hills Recreation Area is during fall and spring when temperatures are moderate. The summer months can be extremely hot with little shade available in this open area. Winter visits are possible but prepare for potentially cold conditions. Since the area has few trees and limited natural shelter, avoiding extreme weather periods is advisable. Check weather forecasts before your trip and be prepared for changing conditions, especially if planning activities like ATV riding that may be affected by recent precipitation.
