Blue Mass Scenic Area is a good place to go if you want privacy. It is 30-40 miles of dirt roads through waste lands in the middle of nowhere. Finally you arrive at the Blue Scenic Mass Area to find some trees and shade. More cows camp here than people and you have to make your own spot. Blue Mass Scenic Area There are a couple official Forest Service campgrounds along Hwy 893. There were a couple side roads leading to different creeks and springs that sounded interesting and most likely good camp spots. DIRECTIONS: From Eli, Nevada Take Hwy 50 East about 27 miles. Take Hwy 893 North until the road splits. Follow the sign to Tippett. At Tippett there is a sign pointing to Blue Mass Scenic Area. Stay on this road about 20 miles and there will be a side road with a small sign marking the way. From Hwy 93 turn east at Schellbourne (Following the old Pony Express Trail 1860-1861) Stay on the main road and you'll see the sign pointing to Tippett. You could take the short cut and follow the Pony Express Trail, while it is a more primitive road, there are nice views and points of interest. ROAD CONDITIONS: Mostly narrow dirt roads The roads were extremely dusty. Not recommended for RVs... If exploring the area, you should have a detailed map, very few roads have numbers or directions. Check out Lincoln Highway 1913 (The First Transcontinental Automobile Route). Also see: CURLEW VALLEY Also see: GREAT BASIN NP Also see: LAVA POINT CG Also see: MEADOW VALLEY Also see: MESA ROAD
