I say “almost” loosely because I really don’t mind all the dust and dirt for a few days. That’s the only negative thing about these spots. They are wonderful, quiet, and beautiful. Lots of spots to choose from. Right by the salt flats. Starlink worked great here too.

I arrived towards sunset. Place was easy to find, with plenty of parking options. Dirt roads were ok, washboard but not many big chunks missing.

This was very easy to find and an endless number of campsites, so it was easy to get our own space. It got very windy at night but during the day it was calm. Felt very safe here.

Just off the I-80. Bumpy road to the spot but not terrible. We read one review that left a very detailed description of where to go and it was really helpful. We camped with our 28ft trailer just to the left of the blue sign and there were 2 other trailers and a tent camper in the same area. We all had plenty of space. We used our generator and had our own potable water so that was nice. It was a great spot to watch the sunset and hang outside at night. In the morning it got hot FAST! We packed up camp and went off on our way. There is no shade, water, power, etc so make sure to bring your own.

Turn left there and there are several large sites where you can just pull through. Road is fine. We stopped at the first sign and then regretted it later when we saw these other sites.

This area is right off I-80 about 10 minutes from the Bonneville Salt Flats. No camping on the salt flats so this is one of the closest spots. It's a very washboarded road leading off to the east from the paved access road and following along the bottom of the hills. There are side roads leading off to flat areas for camping. My advice is to park far from the road. There is traffic and it throws up clouds of dust. Also make sure not to block one of the many 4wd trails that lead back into the hills.
Our site needed a bit of leveling, but overall it wasn't too bad. There does appear to be a garbage and human waste problem here, so step carefully. I would only stay here to visit the salt flats, but it is close to Wendover so others may enjoy that.

Close to I 80 and the Casino’s in West Wendover. Lots of room on different height levels. Good cell phone reception for ATT 5G. Fairly windy when we were there in late September.
Any size rig will work here. Might have to do a bit of leveling but all in all not bad.
