Just off Highway 50 in central Nevada's mining country, Austin RV Park operates on the grounds of a Baptist church with 18 full-hookup sites arranged in tight quarters. The campground sits less than a mile from Austin's historic downtown, where travelers on the Loneliest Road in America find one of the few overnight stops with full services between major towns.
Sites pack closely together on a dusty surface, with some reviewers noting the challenge of achieving proper sewer flow due to sloped positioning. The hookups function reliably, and campers can access both older restroom facilities and shower areas that multiple visitors describe as clean despite showing wear. Road crews working on Highway 50 sometimes occupy several sites for extended stays. Cell service varies, and the compact layout means little privacy between neighboring RVs.
"Shower area clean but rough around the edges," notes Craig J., capturing the functional-but-basic character that defines this stop. The Pony Express RV Stop sits just down the road for those seeking alternatives. At $25-35 per night for full hookups, the park serves primarily as a convenient overnight base for Highway 50 travelers rather than a destination stay. Staff respond promptly to phone calls, and pets are welcome throughout the property.
