Middle Baxter Road Dispersed Camping

This is a nice place to stay on BLM property. Nothing special just a gravel lot and room for several RV's. We were the only ones there for our stay. The views are pretty and sunset and sunrise were especially beautiful but I wouldn't think anyone would want this as an extended stop. Just easy on and off the freeway for a night. ... more

It was dark, it was late and didn't want to stay on the freeway rest areas or a Wally World parking lot. Easy enough to find with the Campendium app and good enough for a quiet overnight stay and just what we were looking for. Far enough away from the freeway noise but not too far to hop back on the freeway. Not exactly level area wher... more

The freeway has construction so there’s no access to this campsite currently, date is June 15, 2020.

This site is easy to get to and a great place to stay the night while traveling. The only drawback is it is right off a road that is moderately traveled (vehicle noise). But otherwise it was peaceful and quiet and this morning an antelope came and sat within 60 yards of our trailer!

Just a blank area good for a night of quiet sleep. No issue getting here and parking is easy for any rig or vehicle. Can get a little muddy when wet. Would avoid in the rain. May get stuck easily. In dry, any rig can park here easily. Easy directions just off CR-45.

We got stuck in Rock Springs waiting on a truck part, so spent 3 days here. It can get pretty windy, so don't put your awning out. The edges of the giant pea gravel area are more solid than the center. We saw 4 pronghorn, but nothing else. I'd advise parking with your fridge to the north, as it's all day sun. It was really quiet. The p... more

Great little place for a quick stop - yes the refinery in the background but you really don’t notice it. Super quiet, we felt safe. Pea gravel parking lot with a small mound of dirt in the center. Free, and served it’s purpose for a nights rest. We would stay there again.

The gravel in the lot is not hard packed, and might not be easy to get going if you stop. While it's somewhat flat, nothing is level except for the area just at the entrance.

That aside, the factory/plant nearby puts out a petroleum smell that was too much for us.

We didn't stay for both of the reasons above.

Could barely hear the factory nearby and the train within the factory. Decent views and for the first night lately the wind wasn't so bad

We wondered if we had missed it! You have to go a couple miles down Middle Baxter Road before seeing a large gravel spot off to the right. Lots of pea gravel. Some other piles of dirt. But there were 2 other campers there when we were. Not a bad site. Quiet. Stayed 1 night on our way down the road.
