This is a small community park which is wonderful for picnicking, and allows overnight stay. Freshwater is available as our pit toilets. There are some fire rings. In the middle of dry sage brush country, a crisp crystal clear creek runs through the little town and the park is kept very green with large shade trees. Nearby historic buildings and foundations to explore, as well as a few off-road or mtn bike trails.

Wow. The night sky was awesome. Sites are a bit tricky to level an rv but not impossible. Clean pit toilets and water close by. Berlin ghost town was fun and interesting, as was the Ichtheesaur fossil exhibit. Great time camping.

This is basically the back parking lot of a casino.
As a plus, it is only a few feet to a casino with food (Stage Stop Cafe), drinks (Shotgun Willy's Saloon), showers, laundry, toilets, etc. No road noise as you are out back. Raley's grocery store is off the other side of the same parking lot - super convenient. Maybe a 5-10 min walk down Main Street (Hwy 95) to everything downtown has to offer.
As a minus, it is a line of RV spots on an uneven paved lot. First come, first serve (2 out of about 15-20 spaces were in use when I came). Semi trucks unload at the casino/hotel/restaurant loading dock directly in front of the RV lots - during the day only. The parking lot also seems to be an expressway for OHV vehicles that aren't allowed on the Main Street - during the afternoon one spun by every 20 minutes or so.
For $40, it seems overpriced, but not a crazy ask. Rooms in the hotel for the same night were $87 by comparison.
Verizon Wireness was full 4 bars LTE speed. My speed test came in at 120 Mbps - great. The hotel has free wireless. I was unable to connect to the hotel standard wireless from the RV lot. There is a separate one marked "outdoor wireless", but that only achieved about 1 Mbps throughput. So using cell phone hotspot is the best alternative.
Water spigot did not work at my site, but they warned me about that and there were other site options. I used 30 amps with no issues.
Guide
We found this spot quiet and it had easy access off from hwy 95 as you're entering Tonopah from the south. We found plenty of room to park, but be sure to drive to where the area is the widest but before the road starts to go downhill.
Guide
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.
GuideThis dispersed camping site is located right off highway 95 in Tonopah, about half way between Reno and Las Vegas. It is not a destination camping site, but a great place to get some sleep along the way. The best way to access the site is to take a right off the freeway onto the large gravel road, just south of the BLM office. (Wouldn’t advise going through the BLM parking lot as the map directs you, as it takes you to an AWD dirt road instead…this was not good for our eurovan;)). There is a small butte between the highway and the road that provides a little sound barrier between you and the traffic. There was another RV parked up the road a bit and plenty of space in between. Overall this campsite provides a peaceful and restful night along your journey. Tonopah seems to be a bit windy and a fine layer of dust accumulated in our van during the night so you may want to “batten down the hatches.”
Guide
Getting here was super easy. Don't need high clearance vehicle. Lots of trees, two or more pit toilets. Great rocks structures and lots of fire pits. We didn't go into any caves, don't feel safe doing that. We enjoyed some really crazy thunder and lighting and rain. Super cool. We would go here again.
GuideIt was an easy road in. I think we got confused about where all the sites were. After two river crossings, there are a couple more sites, the nice fella let us know. The spot we stayed was big enough for our iKamper annex, which is sizeable(check pictures). We will probably go here again at some point to check out the other sites.

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.
RangerAbsolutely 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.

Great stop over between Las Vegas and Reno. Pull thrus available, as well as back ins. RV section behind the main building, with full & partial hookups and 50/30 amp pedestals. Restaurant food is good with friendly staff to answer questions. $27.00 + tax/day.
GuideHad this spot marked on my mapping programs for a while. Utilized it one evening while traveling through the state. It was so quiet and peaceful with the creek running through it. It did get a little cold once the sun set behind those mountains in the canyon but I camped in September. So for fall camping I would definitely bring lots of heavy sleeping bags and sleeping materials. I camped in a tent, and I was in a older jeep. While it was overgrown that was back in 2021 but otherwise no one had been down there in a while. Didn't get a chance to check out any of the trails as I was traveling through but I would like to go back and check out the Arc Dome Wilderness Area. There was no cell phone signal and you need to bring in your own water, the bathrooms were decent, like I said no one had been down there in a while probably because of covid. One motorcycle came in in the evening and he was very quiet and camped quite a ways away from me when he saw where I was at.
I really can't see a big camper getting in here there are pretty tight spots although there is a road that goes all the way through you could probably camp down at the end. But these are pretty much tent camping, rooftop tents, motorcycles, small trailers spots.
GuideBe 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!
ScoutThis is a great place for a easy roadside stop. It appears as a dirt road beside the BLM office that is easy to miss. It basically a wide gravel road that is large enough for bigger rvs to turn around. If you travel past the last large spot the road narrows. We were still able to turn around with a small trailer. Fairly quiet
Traveler
Was fine for the night as passing through. Unfortunately they had had a lot of rain so the site was very muddy. Ok facilities
Guide
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.
ScoutPretty clean. Spaces close to each other. Room to pull thru for most Not level as whole campground is on a slant. Being new to this we couldn’t get level. Other wise 4 stars
Scout8ts got a creek, trails to explore, and motorcycles and ATVs are permitted.
ScoutNot many sites but they are expanding. The sites are level but construction at the entrance makes the terrain broken up.
GuideWe showed up as the sun was setting. Our friends found the site. While in bed we heard coyotes, which was pretty cool. Then we heard wild burrows, one after another. We were all giggling in our rooftop tents. We woke up to the sound of wild burrows and coyotes. It was probably the funniest experience camping. It helped to have 4WD, so we didn't camp next to others. There are no toilets, water, or trash, on sites, and no trees. Please leave no trace. Enjoy the sunset and sunrise.
LegendPlease note that this campground is currently closed due to heavy storms that have caused a lot of the trees to pose hazards to campers. Contact the nearest ranger station for updates.
TravelerThe park is remote, but still only 2.5 hours from downtown Reno.
The road in is a bit bumpy and the last 4 miles is gravel albeit fairly well maintained (a few avoidable pot holes).
The campground itself was super clean and quiet. We visited on a busy holiday weekend and found one other camper on site. Plenty of water spigots and out toilets. Get a spot up high to enjoy the sunset!!
Exploring the Berlin mining town and fossil museum is a must for the kids! Bring bikes as it is a great way to get around the park.
There are several short and longer trails to explore at your own pace.
Overall was a great place for a one to two night stay.
TravelerParking lot right outside of town. Windy..no wi fi. Cable worked but was fuzzy. Laundramat at tonopah rv had 3 out of 5 washers working and 3 out of 8 dryers were working Right on the highway so a bit noisey. But then there is The Clown motel. Lol. Tonopah has some amenities. Food grocery, gas, all pricey.. Its a one night stay kinda place.. The parking lot campground was well lit at night. And there is a dump station.
GuideDown 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!
GuideWe love going out here. Gets busy Olon holiday weekends but decent during the week. Tons of trails to explore on dirt bikes and quads. A lot of horse trails. The campsite is against a little creek and has a vault toilet.
LegendOnce you get past the fact that this is truly dispersed, with no toilets, water, or trash, and no real established sites and no trees, you then remember, this place has wild hot springs and wild burrows. WILD BURROWS!! WILD HOT SPRINGS!! So, you roll up to this big open area with tons of“roads” cut in everywhere(careful, there are some deep ruts, holes, and deep sand) and pick a place to park for the night. Pitch your tent or set up your rig. Then go sit in one of the hot springs(there are 3 or 4). One is really deep and you can jump in. One has a large plastic tub wading pool that spills out into two more shallow pools. At sunset, kick back in your chair or in the hot spring and watch and listen to the wild burrows come in from the desert to drink and graze. Not too shabby. BUT. It is a popular place to camp as a result. So beware that some campers are lacking in their LNT principles- there is trash, broken bottles, cans, and feces scattered about. The roads are a mess. There is no one to pick up after you, so camp clean and be kind!
GuideClean, easy on and off highway. Dirt lot with power, sewer, and cable. During the winter there is no water at sites but they do have a spot you can fill up. Wifi was ok. Ok place to spend the night.
