Lovell Canyon Campground....

Spots are scattered all over and not always obvious, but this campground served as a pretty good backup when Red Rocks Campground was full, plus it's free! High clearance may be required to get to certain spots. Surprising amount of BLM officials patrolling the area so be good ;)

About 40 minutes away from fantastic bouldering.

Temperature was 64 degress up here while 87 degress back in town. Perfect for hot days. Saw a very long, light colored snake crossing the road as soon as we turned in. Non venomous...but still a reality to be aware they are out to warm up. Rattlesnakes are here as well as scorpions and spiders, but I havent seen any thank goodness. Stay alert and stay on trails!!
Absolutely stunning area to camp. Free entry. Free dispersed camping. No toilets. No water. Closest town is about 15 minutes away. Gas station has firewood for $5. And propane fill. Large and small sites. A lot to choose from. Busier on weekends. More choices if you have 4x4. Roads can get rough in some areas. Surrounded by mountains. And breathtaking scenery. Please clean up before leaving!!

A few people during the weekend and a better place to stay than Washoe Lake. The thing is you gotta go to town for water. Pahrump has a water Mill outside of the Smith's grocery store for 25 cents a gallon. Save your jugs. Place had landscape that changed constantly. Beautiful place.

Place is beautiful, some traffic during the weekend. Stars are plentiful.
