The lower campground on the east side of the road is a primitive camping area with no amenities and easy camper access.

I spent a couple of days here in August and did some nude hiking around the rock areas. I had the whole place to myself for most of the time. It was hot, but that's perfect for me since I'm nude all the time. I'd return here when I'm headed to the Lake Mead area in the near future (one of my very favorite nude destinations).
Guide
One of the best hidden gems in Nevada! Great camping with clean restrooms and well maintained campgrounds. Plenty of good trails nooks and crannies to explore.
Highly recommended!!
RangerWow, I've never seen so many stars. Really wish I booked 2 nights here. Quiet & clean off the beaten path. Easy hiking trails, great scenery.
Guide
We arrived at the campground in the early afternoon on a Friday. There was no one at the gate but we had reserved a site so we did not need to check in. Our site was ready for us so we quickly set up camp. Our site was #16. It was spacious and clean. The views from the windows were great. The sites are a little close to each other but not too close. Our site was an end site so we had plenty of private space. We had electric and water hookups. All worked well. The bathrooms at the campground were clean. The showers were large and private and water pressure was good. It is a quarter for 4 minutes but it seemed to run much longer. The campground has a little free library if you want a book to read and also offers firewood for a "donation". The state park is very nice and has some nice trails to walk on. Dogs are allowed on the trails. The location of the campground was convenient for exploring the area. We did have some military jets fly over the campground on Friday evening and again on Monday. I guess they give the locals a break from their practice on the weekends. The area is beautiful and there are lots of cool places to visit especially if you like rockhounding and history. We did not have any cell service for 4 days in this area. Verizon is the only tower and we have T-mobile.
TravelerReserve a spot on long trip down to AZ
RangerFun little spot for the night right off the 93. BLM land. You can see two distinct rock croppings off the highway. Turn down a dirt road and then right on the first turn off. There are two or three areas where you can camp. Probably not the best for long term, but great for a night and pretty secluded. The back drop of the rocks makes it feel even more remote. I had good Verizon cell service. You don’t really hear the noise from the highway. About a mile off the highway. Good soft dirt. 
LegendGeneral: 24 sites, all with 50-amp electric hookups, a covered picnic table, and grill (two are ADA accessible). There are also several “overflow” spaces with no hookups and two group sites (there were AmeriCorps volunteers in these sites when we were there). The only sites that are reservable are the group sites.
Site Quality: All are level, and the surface is gravel. Some are pull-through, some back-in, and some can easily accommodate two vehicles. Many were a bit close together with minimal foliage separating them. If you can get it, IMO the best site is 14; it has unobstructed views on one side.
Bath/Shower: Basic but clean. Shelves for toiletries and small but noisy hand dryers, but NO soap. One shower looked okay but didn’t use it.
Activities: Explore the slot canyons! These narrow canyons cut deep into the old muds that millions of years ago were at the bottom of the lake. Exploring these was so much fun! There are also six hiking trails, ranging in distance from .5 mile to 6 miles. We hiked to Miller’s Point, taking the steep stairs others have mentioned. If you want to go but don’t want to hike, you can drive - there is a parking lot at the top!
We had been apprehensive that the campground would be full but on a Tuesday at the end of March, it was only one-third full, making our stay peaceful and quiet (it might be a different story if the campground was full). We had planned to spend two nights here but the second day was forecasted to bring rain, wind, and snow so we decided to find a campground in less inclement weather.
GuideThis was our first stop on our two week excursion. It was first come, first serve. Thankfully we got a spot with electric and water. There are showers here. It was too cold to check them out,(the shower on our conversion van is tiny) bathrooms are nice and clean and plentiful. Go see the slot canyons and moon caves. Several trails in the park. Well worth it.
Scout
Pulled right into a perfect spot with privacy 👌🏿 plenty of room for at least 2 5th wheels. Didn't check out the bathroom, but indeed there is bathrooms. Beware of the animals!! Only seen about 4 deer my 2 days of camping but we seen probably 40+ cows throughout our whole stay. They're at your campsite and all the trails. I'll definitely recommend this place and will be coming back!
Always remember folks if you bring it, you pack it out! Let's keep our camping spots clean so the next person can enjoy it as much as you did.
Ranger
The area is beautiful. The host is super helpful. A lot of small trash (bottle caps, strips of paper) around which was a minor disappointment.
Guide
Beautiful Campgrounds, the views in the day are amazing and the star gazing at night is breathtaking. The lake is not big, but the fishing was good. Campground is very clean and maintained, the bathrooms are very clean, and staff cleans them daily. The Park Ranger was extremely kind and helpful. Already have our next trip there planned.

The water-level now is high.
LegendWe have a 36’ Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 23 for 3 days in early May. The CG is 1st come, 1st served, and very small, just 22 sites- some sites are small and some will accommodate larger RVs. All of the sites were occupied when we arrived, but there are two dry overflow areas you find out about after cruising the CG, and two ADA sites that can be occupied if all of the other sites are taken(Last to Fill rule), so we ended up in one of those. We try not to use ADA sites, but didn’t really have any other options. The CG and overflow areas stayed full while we were here, even mid-week. There are 2 showers in the bathhouse by the ADA sites, which are coin operated, so have a quarter ready for each 5 minutes, but you’ll lose the first minute waiting for the water to get acceptably hot. Not sure if the other bathhouse is coin operated too or not. The shower spray is acceptable, but the nozzle could stand some cleaning to produce a better spray. There are a couple of nice trails in the park as well.
AT&T coverage was marginal, with 2-3 Bars of 5GE service, but speeds only up to about 0.8 MB/s. There were only a few tall trees, but none obscuring our view to the North or SW, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. We didn’t use the CG WiFi as we had an unobstructed view to the North and so had great Starlink coverage, with speeds up to 18 MB/s. We didn’t try the OTA antenna.
TravelerSites are a bit small & close together but it’s spotless. Heated bathrooms with free showers. Overflow camping along the road to the group camp & picnic area.
ScoutThe rangers were very friendly. We chose site six.
Legend
For in town, it’s superb! Beautiful views, little to do and the store is expensive.
The Rangers were very helpful in telling us some of the secret spots as well.
Things to do and hiking the area is a must!
Definitely stop here for a night or two!
Legend
We set out to camp here, but money was tight so we opted for a spot about 23 miles from town (south).
Looks as though it’s an old highway.
Great Hiking
There are a lot of animal remains in a ditch and a really neat dry creek to look for rocks and such.
It is our first night here so i may take more pictures. You can see from this side of the road that the highway that’s used is starting to slide away from the underside of it. Very scary. Soft ground everywhere.
The road is easy to drive on but as you rear the end of the road it turns into gravel and bushes as it leads back to the highway again.
Looks to be about 4 or 5 good places to set up camp on the road.
The rocks from both sides of the road are falling all over the road.
I would definitely stay here again. Its frozen in time on this road. Very nostalgic.
Highway noise isn’t very bad either.
LegendWe didn’t stay in the Primitive camping because it was $15 a night. We ended up staying on the road in a pull-off section.
The road was flooded and in very bad shape. The site was very spacious.
There looked to be a Pull-behind in one area with no vehicle. A resident i presume.
The mountain view was spectacular. Very cold as it snowed the day we decided to set up.
We heard a coyote just outside our camper around 3am. It’s howls echoed throughout the range.
Right next to a railroad track. There is no crossing so the trains don’t blow their whistles through there. We are used to trains as we have a home along the Mississippi river and about 10 yards away from BNSF railway. Felt like home.
I would come back for sure, in warmer months.
GuideAs a tent camper, this place is well manicured and most tent pads are level. I prefer Echo Canyon campground to this neighboring site, but due to the lack of water at the Echo Canyon Reservoir, we decided to come here instead because we drove 3 hours.
Time of the year: July 13-16, 2022
Cost to camp: $15 per night
Reservations: First come
Site: 21. Around noon, the sun exposes the west side of the shade structure. So, remember to move your coolers as the sun moves throughout the day. This site is located at the very end of the entire loop. It is nestled up against the mountain, where you could possibly hike it, but it was too hot. There are no water spigots at the site, but 2 sites down there is a community water spigot and the flushable toilets. There is a fire pit only, so bring additional cooking gear if you don’t want to cook on the grill grate on the fire pit.
Restrooms and showers: Yes, to both. However, the showers are in the lower campsite area.
Water: There are community spigots throughout.
Firewood: I didn’t see firewood for a donation.
Handicap accessible: Yes, there were a few.
Stargazing: it was cloudy and it rained for 3 nights.
Fishing: Yes. We tried at 6am, 1 pm, and 7pm, but we didn’t catch much. There was an occasional catch by others, but it wasn’t what I remembered. Worms and green Powerbait were the winners of the season.
Bugs and such: Tons of flys at this time of the year. You must have bug repellent!
Temperature: Rain wasn’t forecasted, but during the day is was about 75 and 67 at night.
Other: If you need to get ice, drinks or food, there is a store and bar to get additional supplies. The neighboring town, Pioche, had a small grocery store and 2 gas stations if you need them.
Overall, clean campsites, but too warm. I’d go back in the spring.
TravelerQuite clean and flat sites. Only had power but had nice and clean bathrooms with handicapped showers. Completely ADA accessible. I was even able to drive close enough to some of the rock formations in the day use area that I could walk up with my cane to feel them and get a photo.
GuideWe arrived late afternoon to set up camp, we used the self pay station as there was not a ranger at the station and it was first come for choosing a site. We camped on the weekdays and there seemed to be plenty of open spaces. The sites had a decent amount of space between them and we didn’t feel to close to our neighbor. There is a field with some cattle across from it and was kind of nice to hear the moos from a distance! The showers were $0.25-$0.50 to use so have some quarters handy! There is a hiking and picnic area just up the road from the campsites, on the same property and it was really lovely! I also enjoyed the little book checkout station as I can never decide on which book to actually buy so I now have a book to finally read and will drop it back off the next time we visit! The rangers kept the property looking great and it is a very secluded campground, there is definitely no city light to disrupt our stargazing! Have a Tmobile and didn’t have any service. There was WiFi available for a fee.
TravelerThis is one of my favorite places to take the kids! This campground is well kept with lots of sites. The bathrooms are amazing newly remodeled for the lower campsites. There are tables and charcoal BBQ grill at every site. Every night the deer come down to graze in the field. So between 4-5pm i take the kids to watch them! The grounds keepers are so nice and helpful 5 stars for sure!!
GuideThis is a quaint campground. It is first come first serve and there are not very many spots, so you will want to be there early. There is a nice walking/biking trail that is right out of the campground. Our site was spacious but some are smaller. We would stay here again.
Traveler
This small BLM trail head campground is a hidden gem. There are a few level areas, overall most spots you can level your rig with ease. Clean volt toilets and a couple of 55 gallon trash cans, no water or dump. We were here at the end of March, it was quite and only a few campers. We stayed a week.
GuideGreat pitstop. Scenic canyon with mature trees. Conveniently located on the edge of town. Friendly staff. Restrooms are immaculately kept. Great tiled showers.
GuideI stayed here in mid September on my way to Great Basin Natl Park and I couldn't have chosen a better spot. I put down my name in the registration book and drove up a mile or so up on the dirt road. I was all alone enjoying a quiet and peaceful night. There were a couple of people who camped in the area where the registration book and informational leaflets are, but I honestly would recommend going a further out if you want to enjoy the solitude.
TravelerI want to start off by saying I was never able to check with a park ranger and ask how the overflow camping is technically supposed to work but here was my experience. I arrived at the campground around 5pm on a Friday night and everything was full. After driving around for a bit I saw signs for Overflow camping. There appeared to be two sections where overflow camping is permitted. I will post pictures of the one I stayed in over by the slot canyons and day use areas. Since my setup does not require a tent and is super easy to move around. I was able to use the camp fire rings at the day use area for dinner, s’mores, and star gazing. It was actually lovely because the noise of the busy campground was far away and I had the entire day use area to myself. Then after I put my fire out I drove back over to the overflow parking spot. If you are in a Van or similar car/suv setup this may be an option for you if the campground is full. Also, I was still able to use the showers at the campground and use the bathrooms at the day use area so that was nice :)
