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 minimal with no drinking water or electric hookups.

The area is accessible by vehicle with sites ranging from easy roadside parking to more remote locations requiring high-clearance or 4WD vehicles, and features pit toilets (seasonally available).

Campers should expect rocky ground, extreme temperature swings, limited shade, no cell service, and must pack out all trash; the site is popular for fishing and accessing nearby Snively Hot Springs.
