Ask about this camp →Dave's been here. A spot from Dave's own travels on public land — free to camp. Conditions still change, so confirm access, stay limits and fire rules before you go.
A primitive clearing with a small fire ring on the side of a mountain along a lightly used forest road. Nice view to the east, and very secluded and private, but possible wind and exposure to the elements. Near old mines. Enough room for a few vehicles. Poor cell service. Recommended.

How it was placed
FIELD VERIFIED by Dave Lalande -- he has stood on this site. Coordinates are his own GPX track point, not a geocode. County and state confirmed against the FCC Census Block API (White Pine County, NV). Everything under 'From the field' is a direct observation; nothing here is inferred from a land record.

What we don’t know
A land record can put you within a few metres of a spot. It cannot tell you any of this — so check it yourself, and treat anything below as the open question it is.
- How many rigs actually fit
- Seasonal & winter access
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
