nowhere else? | Wild Camping

right off mount rose highway, we pulled in around 7 last night, saw one camper van, we drove past, road is rocky but no 4x4 needed imo, at least when it's dry... cool spot, definitely road noise during the day, very quiet at night. a few trails and fire pits here and there. Great verizon 4glte/5g flickering. was able to run think or swim on my laptop from the Verizon mobile Hotspot no problem. woke up to a great sunrise, managed some trades and went back to bed. Will return if in the reno carson area as the desert side is a bit harsh and trashy.

Area as described. I drifted right and after a small section of rocks, it opened to a flat area with a fire ring. No problems in a pickup.

Very rough road getting to the spot. I barely made it into the back area in a lifted forester. The couple days I was here there were a boat load of children through the area morning and afternoon. It wasn’t bad near Tahoe, but other spots are much easier to access and quieter

a little snowy but great for a night - was pretty quiet honestly very little road noise

Verizon 5G, relatively secluded (though you do great the road noise until fairly late), close to Tahoe and free. What more could you ask for.

Pretty area just off of Mt. Rose Highway. The road is bumpy with fairly big rocks. Found a very level spot. Nice!

Good place to stay. There are a few spots where you can place your vehicle (only small ones). The road has big stones, so be careful.

Other side note probably not a good spot any earlier than April as there will probably be snow!

Sweet little spot in the national forest. Just take the first section of the road slow and you’ll be fine.

Didn’t realize it was 8k elevation! Still snow covered. I have a 3500 2wd sprinter with super aggressive tires. I made it through ugh the patches of snow. The spot is beautiful and has room for afew vans. Nobody here but me.

Is just off the road. Fairly decent spot that is right off the road. Great for quick overnight. No one else was there when I arrived but somebody came around 10. It they found a spot further down road.

Great spot! The longer description below is precise. We stayed in the spot to the right. It is rocky but we made it in our promaster. You can see the road from camp so it’s more of a “I just need somewhere to stay” kind of spot but works for us! You can hear the road but it’s not annoyingly loud. Quiet at night. From our research, you won’t get anything secluded and scenic within a 20 min drive from Lake Tahoe that is also free.

Easy to find using the coordinates provided. It looks like a simple pullout but the road goes back into a few directions. If you veer back towards the right you will find a nice tree covered area with a fire ring. If you veer back towards the left, the toad gets super rocky and uneven but we walked back there following the All Trails map because it showed trails. There is a huge clearing with a fire ring. It looks like some sort of off toad capable vehicles made it back there. We opted for the clearing back to the right. We are in a Ford Transit 350 XlT and made it fine with dry weather but the road is rough (huge rocks) so you just have to move slow. You can hear some road traffic but it died down and this spot was the only place we found in the area. I’ve added a few photos of the site, the road, and the trails in the area. We discovered that part of the trail we went on across the road to the ski hill actually runs through private property/road.

off the main road is a slow vehicle pull in with a rocky track that opens to a forest parking with hiking trails and rough tracks into the forest.
Road noise..quiet at night. Small vehicles only
