Owyhee River Dispersed Campsite

This BLM-managed dispersed campsite along the Owyhee River offers free primitive camping with multiple sites featuring fire rings and tables, though amenities are limited (no water or hookups).

The rugged terrain features river cobble ground that can be challenging for tent stakes, and high-clearance or 4WD vehicles are recommended for accessing more remote spots away from the main road.

Visitors should pack out all trash, bring their own firewood, and be prepared for extreme temperatures, minimal shade, and no cell service in this remote high desert location.
