Owyhee River Dispersed Camp Site

This BLM-managed dispersed camping area along the Owyhee River offers free primitive camping with river access for fishing and boating, though sites feature challenging rocky cobble ground and minimal shade.

Basic amenities include fire rings and tables at some locations, with vault toilets available seasonally; high-clearance or 4WD vehicles are recommended for accessing more remote spots, and all visitors must pack out trash as there are no services.

Cell service is non-existent, and nearby Snively Hot Springs provides additional recreation opportunities within a short walk from some campsites.
