"There were signs on the way in for both free range cattle and horses, but we didn't see any.
Cell service with Verizon, weak but usable."
GuideThis is our second stay at this campground by the lake. The sites are pretty level and can accommodate a larger rig. Be sure to go all the way to the end to find the RV sites with covered picnic tables and fire rings. The terraced views of the lake are beautiful. You can walk down to the water but know the lake is farther out than it looks. Vault toilets and dumpster on site. Town of Hawthorne is about 10 miles away with all necessities. If this park is full, you can try Tamarack and 20 mile beach but they’re not as nice.
GuideBeen here many times with my son and my horses over the years. Still quiet and not over ran. Close to fishing streams, high mountain lakes, hiking trails, off roading and don't forget that trip into Bridgeport and Bodie.
Obsidian took a beating two cleaned up and they are still fixing some things. I would vonsider Obsidian more of a primitive campground, not dispersed but minimal.
Outhouse is clean, bring your own water, can get 5G/LTE here.
Tables, campfire rings, park at your site, tent, small camp trailer. At the end of the campground there is a bigger spot for groups.

TravelerDespite being adjacent to the highway, it is a quiet campground at night. Love the walk to the beach and seeing those dragonflies. We will definitely come back because Mineral County has so much history.
LegendThe dirt road into this spot off of Hwy 120 is washboarded but doable. This spot is at an intersection of forest service road 1S158A and Sage Hen Rd. There was still snow on the dirt road at this time of year (in mid April) so be aware, and there are also low hanging branches that might make it tough for taller rigs.
This spot is a large flat area with zero amenities so bring water and pack in and pack out.
Good for a night or two if you want to hike or bike along the plethora of forest service roads. There were signs on the way in for both free range cattle and horses, but we didn't see any.
Cell service with Verizon, weak but usable.
RangerWe stayed for one night on our way to El Paso with the grandkids. They loved tossing wood sticks in the lake.
Restrooms were locked up, which was unfortunate. It was cool and breezy so we stayed on the lower end of the loop away from the highway noise and closer to the lake.
Super low cost using the Passport. No power but a table and fire ring were enjoyable to use..
ScoutI live close by and we go occasionally. FYI dogs are welcome at Walker Lake!
TravelerLakeside camping spot was perfect for a one night stopover. Almost deserted in winter months.
ScoutFire pits tables pit toilets right on lake edge. 25 or so campgrounds and fee is $6 per night with free areas all around Not crowed some wind and rain but lots of sun. Great views
GuideThis site is a little higher from the lake. There is a day picnic area with tables and shade structures. Further down the trail are dirt pullout areas that can better accommodate rv pull behinds. Verizon was about 2 bars when there but I opted to take next camp spot up the road two miles or so, to get better lake access.
