West of the mining town of West Mineral, Big Brutus operates as a 10-site campground adjacent to the massive mining shovel museum that gives it its name. The level, grassy sites all include electric and water hookups, accommodating RVs up to 32 feet. Clean restrooms and showers serve campers, though no staff remains on-site overnight—emergency contact numbers are provided for after-hours issues.
The remote location keeps noise levels low, with well-maintained grounds that allow tent camping alongside RV sites. Campers exploring the area can find places to camp around Pittsburg for additional options. Reservations are accepted, and pets are welcome throughout the campground.
