This place is a bit rough when you first look at it. The road is … not doing well. But the bathrooms make it all worthwhile. If you’re visiting for a night or two it’s actually perfect. But long term I’d definitely go elsewhere.

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.

Located about 3 hours outside of Reno or 2 from Tonopah, this campsite sits adjacent to the well preserved ghost town of Berlin and the world’s largest collection of ichthyosaur fossils. The campsites are located halfway up one of the hills overlooking the vast valley (gorgeous!). This campsite only has about 14 sites that are not reservable and it’s a trek-and-a-half to get out there so keep your fingers crossed you get a site! Last 5 miles are on a decent washboard dirt road. Vault toilets were decently clean. Dump and fresh water available. Perfect spot for a 3-4 day getaway. Would recommend 1 full day to observe Berlin and ichthyosaurus and 1 full day exploring and looking for fossils. Word of advice, phone GPS apps will try to lead you MILES across dirt roads in attempt to get you there the fastest, DON’T DO IT! Take the main highways: Lincoln HWY to 361 around to NV State Route 884 (the last paved road to the campsite). It will actually save you hours and tons wear and tear on your vehicle and RV/Trailer.

This campground exceeded our expectations on many levels. Don't let the arid scenery fool you on your drive toward the park as there is plenty of shade at most of the campsites. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a herd of mule-tail deer! There are 14 campsites available with a few of them with RV access. We were there mid-week so there weren't more than 3 other campers there during our stay. The established tent areas were grated and level. Our 5-person tent fit perfectly in the designated space between the trees. The picnic area was covered and clean. There were a few nails available to hang our lanterns. We chose to leave the rain guard off and enjoyed viewing the galaxy from inside, stargazing and watching satellites fly across the sky all night. It definitely cools off at night, with temps dropping to upper 40s in mid-September. The bathrooms were pit stalls, but they were very clean and maintained.

Aside from the excellent condition of the campgrounds, there are a few hiking trails available and an old mining ghost town that the kids loved exploring. The fossil house was closed when we were there, but the park ranger sought us out and offered to open it up for us to visit, which was awesome!

The only downside to our trip here, was someone stole our National Park pass while we were on a short hike to the cemetery. I guess the lesson learned is no matter how few people are around, always lock your vehicle.

Pretty 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

Not many sites but they are expanding. The sites are level but construction at the entrance makes the terrain broken up.

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.

This 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.

What an amazing campground, everything was perfect.  There are 15 spots to pick from, a few of them give you an amazing view of the sunset.  The facilities were spotless, didn't expect that level of cleanliness in a campsite.  All of the campsites have a covered shelter and picnic table.  Was surprised to see that one of the park rangers came by and washed down the picnic table soon after some campers left.

The best part was the kids started getting bored, as they do, in the afternoon.  We went and bought a deck of cards from the fossil center.  The lady chatted with the kids for a bit and told them that when she got off she would bring the kids a board game.  Sure enough, after her shift she drove up to our campsite and left the kids one of her board games.  

This campsite will not disappoint, we will be back for sure!!

An off the beaten path experience for anyone who loves ghost towns or fossils. The old 1800s ghost town of Berlin, Nevada provides the entrance to this unique camping experience. A short trail from the campground leads up to the fossil house where one can view the remains of the largest collection of Ichthyosaurs (ancient marine mammals) ever found. Most of the camping sites are pull through and there are very clean vault toilets throughout the campground. The only drawback for us is the fact that this campground does not accept reservations. After a long days drive we were lucky to find one of the last two spots, but under other circumstances it would’ve been difficult as there are no other camping areas nearby. Remember to bring cash for the self-serve pay station. $15 per night. Also, if you use a GPS to head toward Tonopah after camping here, be warned that you may end up on primitive roads for many miles. Even though the distance is longer, it would be safer to go back to the highway. Let’s just say we had that primitive road experience, and not in a four-wheel drive vehicle 😬

This 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.

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.

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.

This park has been closed since April 29th, no notice as to the reason.

This campground is out in the middle of no where!

Nice campsites, gravel with tables, shade and fire pits.  The drive out here is something, make sure you have enough gas.

The road is paved for all but the last 5 miles.

Right off Hwy, but very little traffic noise. Great View!
