Close to Vegas, but still outside!

Great place to stop off the 15 on the way to where ever you're going! One other car other than us at this spot. Few other campers closer to the main road.

Weird spot

Bit of an awkward spot to camp in my opinion. It’s pretty much an open sandy area in the town of Baker. You can hear the highway and noise from the town. If you prefer more remote areas, choose a different place. It was difficult to find in the dark as well because the coordinates provided aren’t technically in the camping area. I had to zoom in on the map to make sure I was on BLM land.

Very convenient and close to I15

Great location for exit out of Death Valley and close to Interstate 15. Mojave Preserve closed so stayed in Baker, CA on BLM land. Simple gravel pad, quite, opposite School. Close to overhead power lines. Mad Greek Restaurant awesome for evening meal and Chevron Gas station has great bathrooms and supplies!!

Great Spot

Easy access, great dispersed camping. Not far from the road, but not too loud either. Very convenient.

Perfect stopover

First night testing out a dispersed campground but once we were confident we’d found it, was perfect.

No signs mark this spot. When you find it, is a large flat area. Literally tucked just off the road, few different entry points can be used to access it.

We were the only ones staying the night so was a great quiet spot. Located right near town & off the main highway without being too close. Few cars at night but nothing crazy.

Absolutely amazing free dispersed camping at Silurian dry lake bed.

Visited in late December, and there were zero other campers out on the lake bed. Lots of entrances to the site from the highway, just be sure to follow an already made path. The farthest you can camp is about a mile off of the road. Very level, great place for boondocking.

This is BLM managed land, make sure to go online for a free fire permit if you plan to have a campfire.
