Owyhee River Dispersed Campsite

This BLM-managed dispersed campsite along the Owyhee River offers free camping with river access, fire rings, and tables, though sites feature challenging rocky ground and limited shade.

The area is best accessed with high-clearance or 4WD vehicles, has no amenities like water or hookups, and requires pack-in/pack-out practices.

Nearby Snively Hot Springs and excellent fishing opportunities make it popular, but visitors should expect no cell service and prepare for extreme temperatures and potential trash left by previous campers.
