Wild Pitch Camp

Free & dispersed camping in Nevada

We currently track 80 dispersed and free-camping locations in Nevada, drawn from public OpenStreetMap data and cross-referenced against predominantly BLM-administered desert and Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest land. Nevada sits in the Great Basin and offers some of the most generous public-land access in the country for self-reliant campers. Unlike the reservation-driven world of state-park and KOA-style campgrounds, the sites listed here are largely first-come, first-served, with minimal infrastructure and a 14-day stay limit on most federal parcels. Expect dirt roads, no hookups, and zero cell service — that's the appeal. The trade-off is that you carry the responsibility for water, waste, fire safety, and respectful land use. Browse the directory below by name, then click into any listing for facility detail, GPS coordinates, and field notes specific to that pitch.
