"Trail into the wilderness is a lovely canyon walk that is not too strenuous for the first mile to the first major creek crossing.
21 total sites 14 creekside 1 group site creekside 4 pull through."
"No turn arounds for a long ways up the middle fork to mouth of canyon (I don’t go beyond that)
Beautiful, quiet, clean spot with few to no other people and sparse options for shade."

$35 - $55 / night
"What a treat the Desert Skies RV Resort in Mesquite, Nevada is! The park is large and very spacious with FHU back-in and pull-through sites."

GuideElevation 7510 38°47′44″ N 116°50′58″ W Last 2-3 miles in the road is rocky but passable in a car or RV if driven slowly. Campground is in a lovely aspen and birch forest. Most sites are very private with some sites within sight of another site across the roaring creek. New tables, fire pits, grills and two of the three pit toilets are newer. Trail into the wilderness is a lovely canyon walk that is not too strenuous for the first mile to the first major creek crossing.
21 total sites 14 creekside 1 group site creekside 4 pull through. All need leveling 6 walk in
Most of the non creekside sites are on the north half before the bridge and are walk-ins. Some of the walk-ins have a parking space large enough for a 30’ rig but the roads are over grown enough to cause issue for tall rigs
Most spaces only accommodate a car, van or truck. Going in on the north side (straight as you enter the Campground ) there is a turnaround at the pit toilet. Do not go past here with a trailer or large RV without scouting it out first. The larger spaces on that side would accommodate a truck and 25’ trailer or possibly up to 30’ RV, but if the river is high and you cannot make the crossing at the south end of the campground you will have to back all the way out including across the narrow bridge!
No cell reception of any kind. Enjoy being disconnected for a while.
Free when we were there in 2024, but there were signs indicating that there was soon to be a fee.
GuideMultiple forks in rd to get here left goes to the FS parking lot / “camp” in listing title. Middle fork goes up canyon on a rocky rd that was gorgeous but definitely rough and a good spot to sit down. No turn arounds for a long ways up the middle fork to mouth of canyon (I don’t go beyond that)
Beautiful, quiet, clean spot with few to no other people and sparse options for shade.
GuideFine, cute spot with tire swing and pretty scenery right off the highway near Tonopah. One other car arrived and parked pretty close to me but the spot felt safe and relatively clean. This spot is pretty much u see a high voltage power line and does have some traffic noise. I’d stay again for a night passing though.
ScoutThe main site with the big cottonwood tree and tire swing is charming. If you explore the surroundings a bit you’ll find a ruined building, a still-flowing spring, and thousands of old tin cans. This a really pleasant and interesting place to camp.
GuideIts a long dirt road on the way in that is pretty well maintained. Easy access with our front wheel drive van. Sites are small but woodsy and private. No hookups and no water other than a creek that may dry up as the season progresses. Pit toilets are clean but hard to say how well US Forest Service is able to keep them up with all the layoffs. Nice hiking or mountain biking along the road going up from the campground. You can go a long ways through some pretty nice landscape.
GuideThis was our 2nd time here. The campground is remote and peaceful. Sites are spacious but are spread out around a hillside resulting in very unlevel sites. We were in site 12 with a 29' travel trailer. Our hitch was almost on the ground to be level to the back of the railer where we had to put blocks under one of the tires. There were only a few sites that would accommodate a rig our size. More level spots were 13 and 14. The rest of the sites were not deep enough for long rigs. I highly recommend doing the ranger talk at the fossil house, Our ranger was a great speaker and explained a lot. The "ghost" town is very well preserved and tended to nicely. E-bikes are nice to use to zip around to different site in the park. The 2 miles of dirt road was graded nicely, but you have to watch out for the potholes in the paved road meeting the dirt road. There is only 1 gas station in Gabbs which has limited hours (if it's closed ask in the bar for the station to open).
RangerNo one here. Nice view. Good temp in May 65 degrees. Put in GPS hard to see entrance. 4G on T-Mobile.
ScoutRight off Hwy, but very little traffic noise. Great View!
GuideJust a short distance off main road that's not heavily traveled. I grabbed the first spot in. Has a large tree with a rope swing. Has room for 2 vehicles. Nice and flat for tents also. Very clean also. 3 bars 4g with Verizon.
