This is a popular, free, BLM site outside of Winnemucca. Access was very easy and because of the loops in the road any size rig could fit and turn around. The sites were large and mostly level. They were also clean thanks to a woman volunteer who picks up after campers. Facilities consisted of vault toilets, fire pits, and tables. ... more
This is a popular, free, BLM site outside of Winnemucca. Access was very easy and because of the loops in the road any size rig could fit and turn around. The sites were large and mostly level. They were also clean thanks to a woman volunteer who picks up after campers. Facilities consisted of vault toilets, fire pits, and tables. No water, dump, or power. There is a series of hiking and biking trails on the hills around the canyon and these are separate from others that are used by OHVs and motocross bikes. This accounted for a fair amount of traffic on the road, our only negative comment. I think it is also a bit of a local party place and this was mentioned by the local volunteer. We would stay here again. We got digital over air TV and cell was good with Verizon.
Denise K. would stay here again

We stopped here for just one night. We arrived at 6:30 pm toured the campsites and settled in a large spot near the vault bathroom with a lovely view of the canyon on one side and the town in the distance on the other. It was in the low 90's when we arrived and had a slight wind. We could hear the birds and babbling creek below us. ... more
We stopped here for just one night. We arrived at 6:30 pm toured the campsites and settled in a large spot near the vault bathroom with a lovely view of the canyon on one side and the town in the distance on the other. It was in the low 90's when we arrived and had a slight wind. We could hear the birds and babbling creek below us. There were lots of tables in our spot and a grill. High fire season posted asked campers not to have a fire in the campsites.
This was our first BLM experience so we were a bit nervous at first but this appears to be a well known spot as there was a lot of traffic on the road going up and down the campsites. Not enough to distract. Nearby the cattle are grazing and have figured out how to get around the enclosure. Free range cows= happy cows. We watched a few walk down the water canyon and come up the trail path and around our camp. Pretty funny but they didn't seem concerned by us or the dog.
The night stayed warm and by mid morning when we left it was in the 70's. We enjoyed the trail and hearing the birds, watching the lizards and butterflies go by and enjoying the view. If we come back through Winnemucca again, we will stop here.
