"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."
"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."
"Hickison Petroglyphs Recreation Area is about 26 miles east of Austin Nevada on Highway 50. Highway was deemed Lonliest Highway by Life magazine about 20 years ago. There is a sign marking turn."
"Driving cross country from California, we were looking to pull off in the middle of nowhere Nevada. Every place we came across was packed to the gills. No vacancies in sight."
"Great dispersed camping on BLM land, right next to hot springs. One of our favorite dispersed sites as well as hot springs."
"here exploring the hot springs, the gold mines in the local area (do not go in though), and the Toquima Caves with ancient Pictographs about 8 miles further up the same service road I came in on 001 next to"
"Big Creek Canyon is beautiful about 15 miles from the town of Austin and is full of Aspens. There are probably about 10 sites in the campground with plenty of space between each site."
"Tons of trails to explore on dirt bikes and quads. A lot of horse trails. The campsite is against a little creek and has a vault toilet."
"Access to the campground is via a 2.5 mile long single lane dirt road. There are a few small wider spots to squeeze past oncoming traffic, but locals tend to travel fast, so be vigilant."
"Centrally located pit toilets.
Campground is at the trailhead of a short hike to the Toquima Cave, which is well worth the walk even though the mouth of the cave is fenced off."

Guide86' sunny when we started. Two of the paths barricaded, wire, can't drive to this area. From highway . 6th attempt Found the arch dirt parking area. Fou d a fence with ladder. Hear water running. 40-44'f when found. Single two person hot spring 120'f too hot to use.
GuideThis campground is currently closed for renovations. It will reopen when the work is complete. There is no known date for reopening.
TravelerGet here from 3 Bars Road and turn right at the power lines. Follow it down to the springs. Kinda neat. Road was mixed getting here the first part was great but closer to the spring is rough.
I got stuck trying to follow Google - it's very wrong.
After a rain, you'll need 4x4 and high clearance. I spilt and zig-zaged my way through the pot holes while it was dry
GuideHad a good rest here . Nice views . Nice little camping spots .
TravelerPretty nice campground, not far off hwy 50. Campsites are very close for a BLM, but there's picnic tables, fire rings and vaulted toilets.
RangerOvernight stay traveling across Nevada.
We came in around 3:30 PM on a Friday and was about 2/3 full.
Sites are small. You can fit a van or pickup camper easily. Very small trailers would also fit but would have to park tow vehicle in main lot.
There are pit toilets and trash cans.
No water.
No dump.
You do get a fire pit and sheltered picnic table in each site.
Fantastic free campground in a beautiful area.
GuideWe’ve been here several times. Sometimes we camp here, sometimes we soak, then head to nearby Bob Scott campground. There are several pools. We usually try to find an empty one. Beautiful views and love the Burro visits at dusk. No facilities but some rock fire rings. Please pack it in/pack it out!! I wish people didn’t set up their camp right on top of tubs! There is plenty of space to spread out a little and it makes for a much more pleasant soaking experience.
GuideGreat Spot to stop. The bathrooms and camp site amenities are great. There are a few spots a long trailer could fit into, but the road requires some very conscious maneuvering. That fact, and the flies compelled me to continue on the road.
GuideHad a bunch of little sites all with fire rings, picnic tables, fire stoves, and shade!! Each site seemed to have some tree cover or a cabana over the picnic table (for those without trees). There were a couple vault/pit toilet houses all stocked with toilet paper (although I would still byo just in case). Overall had the best “facilities” for free dispersed camping that I’ve been to! & keep in mind there is no water so make sure to bring what you need
Also want to note the flies are HORRIBLE right now- unsure if this is a seasonal thing or what but they were relentless.
