If you are into dry camping, turn south at the Welton exit, go over the canal past the BLM LTVA area on the left until you see a large gravel pit on the right. There is a storage unit complex past there on the east with a gravel road to the west. Turn west, use the trails to find your nirvana, 1/4mi. south and west of the gravel pit. Its state land, free to camp on. No restrictions. You will be all alone------- . We spent 2 weeks there in Feb. '13.
Last time I was in Wellton a few year ago) there was a crack down on people dry camping in the area on the west side of the road. They evidently ignored campers on the east side, as there were many there. Another consideration is if you arrive after dark; do you feel confident enough to maneuver your rig over sandy ground dotted with scattered bushes and other plant life?
