Beautiful site. Off Road G just west of milepost 6, look for road to the north with cattle guard. Gate was closed so we closed it behind us. Road signed “private property stay on road” and goes for 1 mile before reaching BLM property and sign that it is Road 4526. Road rough.

Beautiful site. Off Road G just west of milepost 6, look for road to the north with cattle guard. Gate was closed so we closed it behind us. Road signed “private property stay on road” and goes for 1 mile before reaching BLM property and sign that it is Road 4526. Road rough. Camped almost immediately at a large private site on the right surrounded by giant dark rock.

Road is a bit rough but manageable at a very slow, cautious pace. Kind of creepy but quiet and clean. Neat rock formations as a backdrop, which made it seem like we were on a different planet (maybe this is what made the place a bit creepy?). At night, it was extremely dark (no light pollution), so stargazing was awesome! Ov... more

At night, it was extremely dark (no light pollution), so stargazing was awesome!
Overall, a good place to meander to considering there isn’t much else around that’s free, and you don’t want to spend another night in a Walmart parking lot in a nearby town.

The road to the site is quite rocky with a few 50' sections that have chunky rutted out sections. There is also a 90 degree rocky turn at pitch. We drive a 4Runner with a 19' trailer and made it with a bit of bouncing...but ultimately it was worth it. I don't know if anything bigger could have made the drive without a bit of damage.
