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.
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.

I 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.
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.
Traveler
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. A trailhead accessing the Arc Dome Wilderness is located at the campground.
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!
