Old US 95 Boondocking - BLM

The section of old US 95 just south of Tonopah is a popular boondocking spot due to it's close location to town and a cellular tower. We've noted the number of RVs lining the road when we've traveled through Tonopah so we decided to stop short of town and try a more secluded spot. We turned right on a unnamed paved road road about five miles south of town and and found a level patch of sandy dirt overlooking US 95 - nice view of the mountain, not another RV in sight, and little noise from the highway.

This section old road is paved. It parallels US 95 and goes through several old mining areas. The mining claims are private land but the rest is BLM with plenty boondocking spots. There are also many unpaved roads running through BLM land on both side of US 95. Dispersed Camping  38.02824, -117.2339

  1. Looks like a great, scenic spot. And bonus - no other RV's in sight!

  2. Cool beans -- just so long as the unpaved roads are firm enough so RV's don't sink! Like Rob, above, it's nice to be alone up there!
