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.
Very pretty swath of BLM land on a plateau overlooking the valley N of Milan. Great cell signal, no local traffic, some highway and train noise. Take the highway overpass W of the transfer station, continue towards the Cibola National Forest. There's a dirt road that forks south (your left coming from the overpass) 100 yards before the cattle guard that marks the border. Looks like it used to be blocked by a cable, but it was open at the time of this post. Road follows the NF border (on the BLM side, there's a fence delineating the actual border) for about a mile. There's turnout halfway with a good view, and a big turnout at the end that's more wind sheltered. Made it easily in a '78 Step van, but I don't recommend anything longer than 25' or trailers due to limited turnaround. Road won't be passable after heavy rain. All spots along this road are in BLM land if you don't have a reference map.
Overall, some prime public lands camping and a great spot if you have to get some remote work done. LNT my friends!
