Cute spot near town

Fine, cute spot with tire swing and pretty scenery right off the highway near Tonopah. One other car arrived and parked pretty close to me but the spot felt safe and relatively clean. This spot is pretty much u see a high voltage power line and does have some traffic noise. I’d stay again for a night passing though.

Carry on tradition at this old stagecoach stop

The main site with the big cottonwood tree and tire swing is charming. If you explore the surroundings a bit you’ll find a ruined building, a still-flowing spring, and thousands of old tin cans. This a really pleasant and interesting place to camp.

Great spot

Just a short distance off main road that's not heavily traveled. I grabbed the first spot in. Has a large tree with a rope swing. Has room for 2 vehicles. Nice and flat for tents also. Very clean also. 3 bars 4g with Verizon.
