Camped here in our 35’ Fifthwheel for 2 days in mid April. Once you take a right off the main road onto the dirt road follow the road to the right past the “Silver Mountains” sign and you will come to another blue sign on the left. Turn left there and there are several large sites where you can just pull through. Road is fine. We stopped at the first sign and then regretted it later when we saw these other sites.

This area is right off I-80 about 10 minutes from the Bonneville Salt Flats. No camping on the salt flats so this is one of the closest spots. It's a very washboarded road leading off to the east from the paved access road and following along the bottom of the hills. There are side roads leading off to flat areas for camping. My advice is to park far from the road. There is traffic and it throws up clouds of dust. Also make sure not to block one of the many 4wd trails that lead back into the hills.
Our site needed a bit of leveling, but overall it wasn't too bad. There does appear to be a garbage and human waste problem here, so step carefully. I would only stay here to visit the salt flats, but it is close to Wendover so others may enjoy that.

Close to I 80 and the Casino’s in West Wendover. Lots of room on different height levels. Good cell phone reception for ATT 5G. Fairly windy when we were there in late September.
Any size rig will work here. Might have to do a bit of leveling but all in all not bad.

Stayed here while traveling between SLC and Las Vegas. Quiet, secluded, easy to access with great sunset and sunrise. Road noise was very faint in the distance.
We were concerned about the temperatures overnight but that turned out to be a non issue since there was a steady breeze blowing throughout.
Road was easy to navigate in our 2WD ProMaster and there are many spots to pick from.
Only three camped out in visible range but there were some cars farther out.
Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed a night here in our way out west and loved it! Quit, easy access and the sunrise is breathtaking. Highly recommended it! Note that you can’t camp on the salt flats, this area is directly adjacent to it.

About a 15 minute drive from the salt flats. There’s a large open area with three sections to choose from. There were a few other campers with us in the area but it still felt private. It was clean but there are no trash cans so you need to take what you brought.
