Behind Wildlife Refugium | Wild Camping

October 26th, 2023 by Blue Sky Adventures

The designated spot is a little beyond the pin drop on the east side of Almo Road, approximately 2.5 miles from the turn onto Almo Road. The spot is clear as it is roped off to only allow a section of the desert to be used as it seems people were exploring too far off the road. Almo road can be a bit washed but was able to make it in a stock ram Promaster with a little bit of thought out driving. Note that access is only allowed between 4 am and sunset so don't plan to arrive after sunset. There is currently space for 4 rigs with room not to be on top of each other.

Good spots on Alamo Road, which is graded rough gravel suitable for 2WD. First two pull outs are day use only. After that, just pick a pull out. There were two other car campers out here. We arrived in the dark and woke up to a beautiful sunrise. Views of snow Mt Charleston. No garbage. Quiet felt very safe here.

I agree with the other reviewers. Great spot. Just spent the night on a road trip passing through and really is little pumping and Rocky getting to the campsites oh, but very peaceful quiet and pleasant. left before The Visitor Center opened so can't come in on that but it seems to be open now.

Very nice place! Now to the description :
You have to drive 6 km Gravelroud to the Visitor Center. It is not necessary to have 4x4. Before that there are places in Wildlife Refugium, but most of them have loose gravel and are by the way. But if you continue to this point from us (see Google Maps) you can turn right (it's not an entrance but you can see much more solid gravel). There are already some fire places. We drove still few meters purely until we have found a straight place beautiful for us. One can stand there very well and has his rest, since it is a little offside of the way, nevertheless, one still sees the way. From time to time then vehicles came, which drove the way, however, did not come to us. Super place, except the few vehicles quiet, no big starry sky because one sees Las Vegas lights, nevertheless, again beautiful sunsets :-)
Recommendable, don't forget to take your garbage with you and buy water before :-)
Sanitary facilities are then available in the Visitor Center 6 km away.

By the way we had reception and relatively good internet, we have at&t. three beams, 4G.

Pictures are from us, SyncroTime :-)
