BLM camping, not on BLM app. Easy access. Good road right off the highway. Lots of room, no worries about finding space or rough road. Nice hiking and pond at the site. Beautiful mountain views. On the highway 95 Free-Range Art Highway between Las Vegas and Reno. https://travelnevada.com/road-trips/free-range-art-highway/

If it’s free, I generally give 5 stars because I didn’t pay money for any services. But this is also a nice clean spot to stop right off the road. Traffic noise dies down overnight. I was here alone, except for a dude fishing off his kayak in the pond. Later a family in a 5th Wheel pulled up and we had a quiet night. Some fire rings, some churned up soil here and there but very easy to get level.

Nice level area on the far side of the pond from the road. You have to drive along the edge of the pond to get to it, but I had no issue with my rig. A lot of locals come to the pond to fish for the stocked trout, but otherwise pretty quiet. Beatty is just a couple of miles and Rhyolite ghost town just s few miles past that.
The local burros that hang out there are entertaining, but almost overly friendly. They're probably used to being fed by visitors.
Road noise was surprisingly minimal being not far off the highway. I slept with my windows open and enjoyed the bullfrog chorus from the pond at night.
While I had good signal on both Verizon and AT&T data was a bit slow though I was able to stream video with some buffering.

We're on our way to Death Valley and found this spot about 10 miles from the park. Spending 2 nights so as to explore the ghost town Rhyolite.
There was 1 other camper the 1st night. They left early the next day.
The spot is very close to the highway, but the noise was minimal.
Don't drive up the hill on Vanderbilt Road. We did with our 23 ft travel trailer. Almost a mile up this dirt road is a locked gate and a sign indicating private property. There is NO place to turn around and I had to back the entire way down the hill. Not really much fun.
The pond is nice. Not large but pretty deep and actually has trout.
Overall a nice 2 night stay. We will stay again sometime.

Great quiet spot to park for the night. There were a couple other campers there, one looked abandoned. Close to town where we were able to grab a bite to eat after a long travel day, and use the RV/Truck wash to clean our rig before heading out!
