We had pulled into this spot super late, about 11:30pm and there was a few spots still available, easily designated by the pre made fire circles. We stayed only for one night as thats all we needed. A little breezy during the evening which brought in some dirt into the tent but wasn't a bothersome amount at all.
Road Traversal:
The road was easy! Just a well maintained dirt road. Campendiums directions/ route took us there directly to camp.
Other Details:
The areas differ definitely, the spots we pulled into could probably have fit up to two vehicles easily with some space in between campsites, and probably room enough for one vehicle and a rig. Probably have to just make sure space wise your placed in a decent manner, respecting other campers.
Camping here was great! Just was a bit breezy as there is only short grass and shrubs around for miles.
Camping here is also conveniently placed near the Bonneville Salt Flats, where its just miles of hardened salt you can walk and drive on. (Also where they set world records for speedy vehicles. LOL) Definitely would recommend for a night or three!

This was a great place to spend the night, we wished that we could spend more time here, but stop on our way east. Large area with multiple sites that you could pull off to set up dry camping. Follow the dirt road up into the rocks, or even more views of the flats below. About 10 minutes from the raceway, so I’m sure gets busy at times.

It’s not very flat so plan on leveling
There’s some trash around but not bad in the end
Do know it’s the desert so it’ll be hot during the day and there is no shade. We used a generator to help it cool off at night
There is a gas station at the exit you take. Just follow the road and go left. You’ll loose pavement when you turn into the camping area.

The sites are located just off of a paved road, but almost no one was there and there was plenty of space. Super close to the salt flats too. The wind was a little rough at night. Nearby mountain made for a relatively easy day hike.

I say “almost” loosely because I really don’t mind all the dust and dirt for a few days. That’s the only negative thing about these spots. They are wonderful, quiet, and beautiful. Lots of spots to choose from. Right by the salt flats. Starlink worked great here too.

I arrived towards sunset. Place was easy to find, with plenty of parking options. Dirt roads were ok, washboard but not many big chunks missing.

This was very easy to find and an endless number of campsites, so it was easy to get our own space. It got very windy at night but during the day it was calm. Felt very safe here.
