Whitney Pocket

Love this area. We were there for only 3 nights but could certainly stay longer. We camped in Whitney Pocket. Our first time so we were not familiar with what kind of available camp site options. The one we were in had a port-a-potty in a large circular camping area, next to amazing rocks. There were stopping traffic from ATVs. There are 3 better spots just a little further down the road which would be our choices next time. No bathroom stopping traffic😊

Not many people were there RVing. The main traffic were just ATVs and sightseeing. Could be because the time of the year that we were there; still pretty cold at night in the 30s and mid 20s. 20 miles of rough road driving could be the deterrent. But it's a great place if you love rocks formations to climb about & explore.

Verizon Cell coverage is between 1bar/1x or 1bar LTE, unless you have a cell amplifier.

Absolutely beautiful here. Way off the beaten path. We were the only people there the night we stayed and it was a very mild late winter night. Stunning red and beige rock outcroppings abound and plenty of whimsical Joshua trees everywhere. Porta potties were the only amenities around. As other reviewers have said, it’s a pretty rough 25 miles from I 15 but doable with really any car or truck, you just have to go slow.

This is part of the BLM land network. The road in is a little rough and may take some patience but it is worth it. The road is partly paved but has some real rough spots, sticking around 25 mph will help navigate some of the rough areas without being surprised. The stars at night are beautiful. There are lots of rocks for the kids to climb on and trails that lead to a giant sink hole and abandoned ranches. Lots of areas to go ATVing. There were port-a-potties nearby but that is it for amenities. It’s off the beaten path so you’ll have more privacy than most areas near Las Vegas...give it a try, you’ll love it.

Whitney Pocket is an excellent example of the best that BLM has to offer in the high desert. The road in is a little rough - very rough in spots - but it's totally worth it. We drove it in our 42' rig with a tow'd attached and we got rattled around quite a bit but it's very doable.

Fair warning: The road shows at least a dozen areas of complete washouts from monsoonal rain, so keep an eye on the weather... any hint of rain and I would strongly consider not going if we weren't already there, or leaving early if we were.

There are a few spots along Gold Butte Road that are large and flat enough for rigs our size... smaller rigs would have even more options. The views are spectacular, the topography is breathtaking and it's FREE!

We had zero phone coverage or data access, but surprisingly we had excellent TV antenna reception.
