"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."
"A very quiet USFS campground adjacent to Stewart Creek. Aspens and conifers provide ample shade in most sites. It's small; only 5 or 6 sites and operates on a first come, first served basis."
"If you like camping in Nevada but don’t like dry camping or digging holes to use the bathroom, this place is awesome!"
"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."
ScoutNice little campground toward the mouth of Big Creek Canyon. The campground is right on the creek. Big Creek Canyon is beautiful about 15 miles from the town of Austin and is full of Aspens. There are probably about 10 sites in the campground with plenty of space between each site. Hunting season gets busy but I have never seen more than one or two groups in the campground at one time if it’s not hunting season. There is not a ton of privacy within the campground but there is plenty of space for each campsite. There are trout in the creek and easily accessible depending on how much snow the mountain range got the winter before. The road that goes through Big Creek Canyon is a decent BLM road that will take you to the summit of the range then down into Kingston which is a fun adventure. If you like camping in Nevada but don’t like dry camping or digging holes to use the bathroom, this place is awesome!
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.
TravelerA very quiet USFS campground adjacent to Stewart Creek. Aspens and conifers provide ample shade in most sites. It's small; only 5 or 6 sites and operates on a first come, first served basis. A trailhead accessing the Arc Dome Wilderness is located at the campground.
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.

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.
LegendThis small campground is located on Pine creek in Monitor Valley. It is on the small side and busy in the summer. Not a lot of sites so with a first come first serve policy you may find yourself without a spot if you don’t get there ahead of the crowd. It is nestled in Quaking Aspen so there is plenty of shade. Pit toilets, picnic tables and fire pits provided.
TravelerI went mid-week in July and we had the campground almost completely to ourselves. The sites vary in size greatly but we found a lovely space with room for multiple tents and trees for a hammock. The stream adds idyllic camping ambiance. The vault toilets are adequately maintained. It is tricky to get there - Google Maps will try to take you through private property. I recommend using the directions on the forest service website.
LegendThis is a small campground up a canyon with a pretty little creek. The road is narrow and it would be an issue to meet someone on the road pulling your RV. A few spots and first come first serve so get there early on weekends. We have stayed here when no one was here and had crowded experiences on holiday weekends.
ScoutCampsites 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.
