Something not right?
Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
As reported by Chalasani.AJ, this is BLM land with easy access next to the fairgrounds. Road is dirt but not bad at all we came in with a 30’ Class A and a toad. Didn’t go as far as previously noted. But I did use FreeRoam to check the BLM status and it’s all free land.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
We visited this area for a week in a 40' big rig fifth wheel. We practically had the whole place to ourselves! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets with views of the mountains and very quiet. There is a dirt road nearby that is used occasionally by locals, maybe 10 cars a day that pass through the area, some dog walkers, and one OHV. The road into the area is very bumpy, but it is short. There are plenty of sites to choose from, but they are not all in great condition, so choose wisely.
We did have a cop come and check on us. Apparently he was called to come out by one of the passer-by's for a check, but he confirmed this was BLM land and we could stay up to 21 days if we wanted.
BIG RIGS
For big rig access, enter from Douglas County Fairgrounds and take the first right. There is a slight angled drop to get down into the area. It is passable by big rigs, but go slow. The other roads in and out are probably better with smaller rigs and camper vans as they are either too steep or too bumpy. The road to the south, Mustang Lane, is not advised for big rigs either as there is a huge dip just before entering the area.
I would definitely visit here again.
Report Check-InIn near by location ( identical to this one) someone mention that they wanted to stay a week but locals did not like it. We just came for one night. A guy on motor bike tried to scare us away by driving around our van in circles and yelling. we stayed anyhow. this is public land. but please don't over stay in this place. many good locations half an hour drive from town. keep this location for a day that you absulutly have to be near town.
