Best Campgrounds near Austin, NV

Pretty nice campground, not far off hwy 50. Campsites are very close for a BLM, but there's picnic tables, fire rings and vaulted toilets.

Overnight 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.

We’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.

Had 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.

Flush toilets, some shade, bbq grills and picnic tables. Water is listed as non potable. Sports arnt very level. At $10 a great one night stay. They are considering futlrthwr improvements like leveling sites and increasing fees to $20 😞

Easy to find and right off the road on our way to Lassen from Great Basin. Bathrooms were clean and had toilet paper. Plenty of spaces even when we pulled in at 9pm on a Monday night

Campsites backup to big creek which is nice to sit and listen to the sound of the water rushing. Not much shade and there were lots of Mormon crickets roaming the campsite but otherwise a great overnight spot.

Absolutely beautiful spot although it is is definitely not a completely hidden gem… there were several camper cars that looked like they were staying for an extended period of time surrounding the main springs. Nice people but good to know if you plan on relaxing in the hot springs. As for the springs, not the most rustic but cool nonetheless.

It is an RV park of the Baptist Church. Tight parking spaces. Full hook up. Toilet and shower old but clean. One night 35 $.

Be careful before you hop in the lower spring had, what I really hope was, burro scat floating around. Don't fear there are more to find! I found a great spot to share with some truely wild asses! Great views. Well worth the stop!

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.

We towed our 30 foot bumper pull behind our full size truck (49 feet tip to tail) and made it but this is right at the limits for maneuvering. There are several sites that will fit a 30 foot trailer. 35 feet seems like a stretch to me, but proceed at your own risk. There is a loop to turn around at the end of the campground. Scout out your site on foot and create a plan before pulling in. You may wish to travel around the loop one direction or another depending on your chosen site.

The sites are pretty well isolated and with the creek flowing fast, the background noise easily washed away the sounds of other campers.

No reception to cell service and limited view of the sky with rising mountains on either side. If seclusion, nature, fishing and camping up against a mountain surrounded by vegetation is your goal, you've found your destination!

We stayed one night but would have happily stayed longer. There is a general store, laundromat and saloon in Kingston but hours may vary.

Stayed there several times, but not lately. Tried midweek in the fall but was full by 2pm. Actually made a cow pie fire there once!

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. August 2024 update: stayed here again. No potable water. Plans in the work to upgrade, pave and level sites, increase fee. Hope they don’t ruin its rustic charm.

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 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

The sites were close together, slope to back so it was hard to get the sewer to flow to the inlet, had to add blocks to back levelers to establish fall. Price was good for the site. Had a miscommunication with the camp operator so ended up only staying one night instead of two.

Good for 2 days. Trash, and pit toilets available. No water so bring your own. Free for 14 days. AT&T getting between 1-2 bars. Netflix, YouTube everything works pretty well. Petroglyphs about 100 yards away. About 20 or so spots available. Picnic tables, fire rings, bbq uprights in each spot.

This free site was better than most state parks! Drive in spots with picnic tables and fire pits, clean bathrooms, and cool petroglyphs. Be sure to walk to the top of the ridge at sunset for some incredible views.

Down a decent dirt road. Little washboard in places. The upper tub was not warm enough for me 97*. The lower however was 107* which I loved. Didn’t see any burro. However one gentleman said they are further up if you like hiking. The people were nice. No one was at the lower one because of the soft scum that naturally grows. The upper tub had a new bin. I had the lower one to myself. There is a nice post with hooks for towels there. Verizon is 3-4 bars!

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.

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.
