GenieSummary

What others are saying
Black Rock Desert is a BLM area located 5 miles south of Winnemucca, Nevada. It features free camping with no established campgrounds, and is a great spot for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There are 13 official campsites, each with a picnic table, firepit, and grill area. The sites are relatively far apart, providing a sense of isolation and privacy. The area is known for its spectacular views of several mountain ranges, and a rushing stream next to the campsites. There are vault toilets, no showers, and no water available onsite. Cell phone service is spotty, but can be found closer to the entrance. The area is popular for ATV and hiking, and you may spot antelope and other wildlife on the hillside. There is a 3 day limit for the campground, and pets are allowed. It is a great spot for those looking to experience the beauty of the Nevada desert.
