Wonderful creekside camping

This is a wonderful little campground on the way to Taos Ski Valley. Sites are right on a creek & have picnic tables. From what we could tell, there are 2 different locations that we saw on the road, highway 150, one with sites 4-6 & further North where we stayed sites 1-3. We were able to find a level place to park the van & I took a dip in the creek in the morning. Refreshing! Camping is FREE at this campground for up to two weeks! There is no garbage here, so pack it in & pack it out.

Tonopah dispersed near BLM office

This dispersed camping site is located right off highway 95 in Tonopah, about half way between Reno and Las Vegas. It is not a destination camping site, but a great place to get some sleep along the way. The best way to access the site is to take a right off the freeway onto the large gravel road, just south of the BLM office. (Wouldn’t advise going through the BLM parking lot as the map directs you, as it takes you to an AWD dirt road instead…this was not good for our eurovan;)). There is a small butte between the highway and the road that provides a little sound barrier between you and the traffic. There was another RV parked up the road a bit and plenty of space in between. Overall this campsite provides a peaceful and restful night along your journey. Tonopah seems to be a bit windy and a fine layer of dust accumulated in our van during the night so you may want to “batten down the hatches.”

Beehives Campground

Convenient, affordable ($14) stop right off of the 89 in the Glen Canyon recreation area. The 6 Campsites are close together with very few natural barriers. There are 2 very clean (the cleanest I’ve ever seen!) pit toilets at the other end of a circular, gravel area from which all the campsites are positioned. Each campsite has a picnic table & sites were fairly level. There are lake & desert views from the site, but the highway is between the site & the lake, which generates noise. I gave it 2 stars, as this is not a camping destination, but a good place to get some rest if you are road weary.
