Dave Deacon Camp Road is a 40-mile trek through a rolling high desert basin offering a unique adventure. The road surface, mostly gravel, is dotted with intermittent patches of washboard dirt and silt. While the road is generally accessible to most vehicles, it's important to be aware of the potential hazards. Large loose rocks on the roadway could pose a risk to passenger vehicles with minimal ground clearance, and heavy rain could make travel along this route challenging. 

The eastern scenery is relatively flat with typical wildland vegetation like sagebrush, rabbitbrush, and grasses. The western half of the road has a rolling landscape and offers scenic mountain views with young Juniper trees.

There aren't any campsites directly off this road, but many spur roads offer flat open spaces to set up camp. Towards the east, the nearby Hot Creek Campground is free and offers pit toilets, water, and an RV dump station.

The Western end of Dave Deacon Camp Road transitions from BLM land to National Forest and turns into Cherry Creek Summit Road, aka Forest Road 59410.
