Nice easy stop

Lovely Pinyon-Juniper forest. Picnic table, fire pit & BBQ stand. Water and flush toilets. No trash-Pack In/Pack Out. Several sites aren’t level but didn’t matter to us. A peaceful place to camp but some minor hwy noise at night.

Easy access, desert shade

This campground sits just off of Hwy50 east of Austin, NV. Nice and cool 7,100ft above the desert. Pleasant sites, flush toilets, & water. Sunsets and sage scents are a highlight. Piñon Pines for shade.

Nice oasis in Nevada

Nice little campground with a great view and running water, it appears that all the picnic tables firings and barbecues are brand new. Toilets are a little outdated but I’ve paid a lot more and had Vault toilets. The price is definitely right $10 per night. Watch out for ants they are everywhere

Quiet CG

Only 3 other sites ocupied (looks primarily by hunters this time of year). Near lightly used hwy. Near Austin. Sites a bit unlevel but doable with 30 ft travel trailer. Slight trench from previous campers made it perfectly level.

Great for Working

We love staying here because the signal for Verizon/ATT/Tmobile are all great. Was pulling 120MBPS down and 25up. Pretty great for the middle of nowhere. The site is clean with lots of privacy and water.

Great for overnights or as an in-between for working.

Great place to camp

We only stayed one night here on our way to Oregon, but it was really beautiful with wonderful weather. It's $10 a day but I'd say that's a fairly good price for having bathrooms, fire pits, picnic tables, and being really easy to access right off the highway. There was a little bit of noise due to the highway being so close, but we got a great night's sleep and enjoyed our stay. :) I would definitely camp here again.

Decent Campground

It is a small first come first serve campground right off of the road. We arrived at 6pm and found it unexpectedly busy. We were fortunate enough to get the last site!

We could hear every car that passed in the night but other than that it is a great place to stop at the end of a long day.

Road trip Campground

Just outside Austin in the beautiful Pinyon Juniper forest in Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. It’s right off the two lane road so you’ll have some road sounds. It was a perfect stop at the end of a day driving with a nice variety of campsites to choose from, toilets and water. The landscape here is sweeping and stunning. You could set up camp and drive into the lovely town of Austin for a bite to eat or other provisions. I was tent camping and there were a couple on motorcycles and two RVs.

Great stopping point for a night on the road

Exactly half way between Great Basin National Park and the California border. Arrived late at night and there were plenty of available sites.

Great campground!

We pulled in to this campground at 10pm and found one site left the night before labor day! It has a vault toilet as well as a flush toilet. Garbage cans and water pumps. There are fire pits at most spots and picnic tables at each one. A good amount of trees. Cicadas were really loud at night but it was nice. Ground was somewhat soft. Apparently good hunting nearby too.
