It’s always boondocking in all 440,000 acres of the Shirley Basin. What you are probably looking at is the old trailer park. That will get you over a mile off the road and is easy traveling. We generally camp a couple miles to the south and off to the right side of the road but we have camped in the ghost town trailer park. They mined uranium in the Shirley Basin until about 1960 the trailer park was abandoned after that. It’s fun to look through. You can see where the kids rode their bikes and put their foot prints in the fresh concrete.
It makes a great place to kick back for a few days.
If you look about 2 miles south on Google on the other side of the road and about a mile off the road you will find a small pond. We go past that where there is a small prairie dog town. It’s maybe 50 acres.
