WHERE THE FRONTIER IS AT YOUR DOORSTEP While New Frontier RV Park wasn’t around when Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid robbed the First National Bank of Winnemucca on September 19, 1900, we are sure they would have found a way to stay with us, enjoy the great outdoors and maybe they would have decided not to rob the bank on the way to becoming infamous outlaws. Make your reservations today and see if you can solve the controversy over whether or not it really was the “Wild Bunch.”

I stayed here at the last minute and was welcomed by the staff upon arriving. Good sites with decent room, the bathroom and shower facilities were excellent and everything was very clean. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area!
Traveler
Had an okay experience. Unfortunately the bathrooms were out of order when we stopped through.

My original review was because I lost my earbuds. But since I found them 🤦♀️.. I am just going to say I loved this site!
GuideStayed here for 1 night and was good for 1 night.. toilets and showers where filty so didnt use them.. pool was good. But what to expect for that cheap price.
GuideUp out of the dust. Nice level site near creek. Small creek and trail that follow it as well as trails that go up the hill. Toilets and garbage cans
GuideFree camping for up to three nights here and it’s beautiful! Lots of trails to hike around and a creek running through some of the spots. First come first serve but I got there late evening on a week day and was able to get a spot.
GuideIt was Mormon Cricket season, so that was weird. They were everywhere, but they were chill. The deer were fun to watch, as well as the cows across the street. The road is a little busy (off road vehicles whizzing by) but there are lots of places to pull off with picnic tables and fire pits by the water.
RangerThis wonderful 10 large spot free camp has a 9 hole disk course. The course has legit "tee pads" and manicured "greens" around each basket. But. .. the rest of the course is wild rough, I had to shoot for the 4' wide trail to avoid loosing my disks
Ranger10 sites well separated along the dirt road. Most will fit 25' rvs, a few will take larger rigs. Pit toilets, picnic tables, fire pits, BBQ grills, vault toilets and trash pick up! And did I mention it's free! AND. A Legit 9 hole disk golf course. Way to much rough, you'll spend a bit of time looking for disks unless your very good.

This is not for the casual camper. The road is long(24 mi from hwy 95, 18 mi from Paradise Valley) and it is first gear 10-15 mpg all the way. It is a dual track, soft center, raised crown with many embedded and loose rocks. Very narrow road with steep banks on either side. There are no washboards or sand but several low spots have mud ruts which means there will be potentially deep muddy tracks for short distances if it gets wet. I rode a fully loaded BMW 1200GS dual sport motorcycle up there and it was quite a challenge. Must air down your tires! If you drive a camper ensure everything is tied down or you will break a lot of dishes! I do not recommend a trailer as a few of the switchbacks are climbing, tight, steep 180s. Pullouts for passing are few and far between. Google Maps has the roads so you can navigate to the site and watch the distance as you progress. There was not even a hint of any cell service, as might be expected. This is very high and remote. But here isolation is kinda what you are looking for! The campsite elevation is 7300 feet so depending on the season expect cold mornings. On June 23 I woke up to 41 degrees. The pit toilets have some tp but better bring your own. There are several water faucets with good pressure but there was a sign that said “non-potable water.” I boiled some water for a few minutes and had no issues. Bring your own water or plan to boil or purify it. Also whether on a motorcycle or camper the site has a slope so getting level will be a challenge. If you are tenting putting tent stakes in will be difficult or impossible in the stony ground. Expect mosquitoes and thousands of moths that get into every nook and cranny. Don’t leave anything out overnight or it will be covered in moths. Campfire rings are large but mostly filled with old ashes. Good solid picnic tables but bring your own wood as the local area seems to be pretty well picked over for deadfall. As another review said there are two ways in- from the east and west sides. Plan to go in one way and out the other. The views from the top are spectacular!
GuideWe loved our overnight here, we got here on a Tuesday afternoon around 5pm and were able to get a good, spacious site for our 28 foot TT without detaching it, win-win! Site 7 that was, by the river (20ish steps away). Peace and quiet plus the river sound! Also saw a deer jumping through the bushes near our site, quite marvelous.
TravelerNice level and spacious campsite with a covered cement picnic table and fire pit at campsite #1. Arrived during an amazing sunset and couldn’t believe it was both clean and available! Only concern was dog poo in the grass within 6 feet of the fire pit. People! Sign says 3 day limit.

GuideRolled in at night....got my pick of camp sites. Not too cold, but awesome morning view
TravelerOk for an overnight
ScoutWe boondocked here for one night on our way home from a 12 day camping trip. It was a little hard to figure out where to camp at first; just follow the road up past the day use area which has a pavilion, parking and pit toilet. A little bit after that the sites begin. The sites are spread along the road, sometimes a single camp site and sometimes a couple of sites next to each other. It was dusk when we arrived and we actually didn't see the first couple of sites - we realized the next day on our way out that we'd driven right by. Then we saw some that were occupied. We ended up at site 8. It's large but quite uneven. It took us a bit to level out our A-frame pop up camper. It was gorgeous there. Surrounded by hills, Birch trees, and the stream running behind. Our site had a picnic table, fire pit, and BBQ area. The pit toilet and large garbage were just across from sites 8/9. The pit toilet is ADA, very clean, and didn't smell bad.
We would happily have spent a couple of more days here if we hadn't had to return home.
GuideThis campground has been upgraded and currently charges $8 per night. It’s well worth it though. Not only are the grounds nice and well kept, but the bathrooms were clean. The creek runs right next to the campground so if it’s not too cold for an open window, the noise from the water is super relaxing.
No matter which direction you come from, pay attention to the length limit shown on the site here. The roads into the site from both directions have some pretty aggressive switchbacks.
That being said, I would also encourage everyone to not go out the way you came in. When you arrive at the turnoff to the campground from FSR087, you will turn right if coming from McDermitt or turn left if coming from Paradise Valley. So whichever way you come in, go out the other way if you have the time. Both sides of the mountain have equally stunning views and are well worth seeing if you have time for the extra travel.
ScoutWhat an amazing camp site! Free, 3 nights, and by a creek. Unreal sunset. Super clean and sites are huge for big rigs (easy turn around)! Dirt road is an easy drive. We will absolutely be back!
GuideThe prices are slowly creeping up. The store inside should not be called a store. Very clean neat but nothing on the shelves. Park is very nice but tried to get the internet no such luck.
TravelerGreat spot to stop on the longer haul. Sites are super clean and well maintained. Bathrooms also super clean.
GuideSpaces are large, and the grounds are clean and well maintained.
GuideThis campground rates a 4.0 I give it four stars because it will be a welcome Haven and oasis after a 7-hour drive from Klamath falls Oregon to winnemucca Nevada We will be very happy to see it. it has clean reviews and I'm really banking on this being a winner
GuideVery clean and neat, looks new. Very spacious, full hooks, cable TV and all the extras. Highly recommended.
GuideThis location reminded me of a county park. Maybe I'm jaded for spending too much time in the outback doing disperse camping. This reminded me of a lot of county parks in California. I looked at campsite 9 which was one of the better sites, and not much in the way of excitement came to mind. The creek was a minimal trickle, and lots of flies. It was hot and mucky and I decided to not camp out here and drive two hours north into Oregon and back to the wild. The positive about this location is the other campers who all wave when you drive by. That is nice hospitality.
RangerWe camped here because it was getting late and we didn't want to look for the dispersed sites we read about farther down the road. Besides I wanted a shower!
The folks at the check-in were very friendly. The showers were clean and spacious.
The sites are the usual RV back in or pull through with electric sewer and water for $48 per night.
TravelerWe had a lovely stay! Close to the mountains and water. Don’t worry while leaving the road. Just drive straight on. Be aware of all the locusts -) there were a lot of them … I mean a lot
GuideVery spacious sites. Pull-throughs are cement and back-ins are very level gravel and asphalt. The end of the row sites have grass otherwise it is all gravel with tables. No fires. Trees have grown quite a bit and are really helping with some shade. We like it here but nothing to do in town. So sit back and relax
