Fossil Butte National Monument BLM
I wanted dark quiet and remote!
And I got it at fossil butte. At north end of park is a 17% grade loose gravel narrow road with two hairpins - good luck! But northern end of park boundary is well marked. Dark dark sky and unbelievably quiet.

Woodruff Narrows Public Access Area
Great lake side camping! Beautiful views!
Great campsites next to the lake. Excellent views and quiet. Only saw a couple other campers off in the distance. Lots of birds and ducks to watch.
Saw a moose way off in the distance.

Woodruff Narrows Public Access Area
Spacious and peaceful!
I wandered in after dark and the dirt road was easy to navigate. No one was around for miles which was quite nice! A few people drove past (I assume to go hunting) but not much traffic noise. Peaceful along the water. Clean bathrooms. Because of the regulations I wasn’t able to make a fire and had to stay overnight at the designated camp spot but I would definitely recommend this spot.

Dispersed public access
Dispersed camping around a reservoir. Road in is unpaved in fair to poor condition. Quiet and peaceful though.

Fossil Butte National Monument BLM
Potentially a great spot
Not a lot of info listed for this location so adding a review to hopefully help out! We didn’t get to camp here but it made me leave “stars”.
The drive into the monument is easy, zero issues. Once the road turn to gravel, it gets steep. We have a 15k pound fifth wheel and a 2wd dually and we’re only able to make it a couple 100 yds up the hill before we started spinning. If you have 4WD you may be able to make it with a big rig, but might still be a little tricky with the gravel. We didn’t get to go very far, so if you have a bigger rig use caution. Up the hill it looked like a few sharp corners that may not be good for a bigger rig to get around with bad traction. We are not new to dispersed camping as it’s our primary camp type, this one just didn’t work out! Looked beautiful!

Fossil Butte National Monument BLM
Spectacular!
Beautiful and remote area 10 miles up the road from the Visitor’s Center. Paved road that turns to dirt- both in great condition. High clearance vehicle needed, especially on the BLM land. Visitor’s Center provided a map showing the location of the dispersed camping (road off to the left at the top). Strong internet access. Spectacular views!

Great boondocking spot but long dirt road
Very private boondocking area about 10 miles off the highway. Wide open area; fairly level in the campsites we saw. The road is okay if you go slowly; we came in with our 31’ class A pulling a 12’ box trailer. There’s a bathroom about 6 miles in. Good Verizon service.

Beautiful flat area
Great place for a good over night rest. Beautiful sunset and sunrise over the green plains. We slept in the car on our blowup mattresses in the back. They do provide a toilet

Beautiful location, no amenities
Gorgeous location right next to the lake. It was very quiet and open. We were the only campers there!
No shade or amenities where we stayed. There was lots of room to play around with the dog.
