Peavine Campground

Closed For the Season

This campground is closed for the season from October 2, 2024 through April 30, 2025.

Peavine Campground, near Round Mountain, Nevada, is a cozy spot that offers a peaceful escape for those looking to unwind in nature. With its picturesque setting alongside a creek and surrounded by mountains, it’s perfect for tent camping or small RVs, though big rigs might struggle to find a suitable spot.

Visitors often rave about the tranquility of the area, with one camper noting, “It was so quiet and peaceful with the creek running through it.” The campground features picnic tables and fire rings, making it easy to enjoy meals outdoors and gather around the fire at night. Just remember to bring your own firewood and water, as amenities are limited.

For those eager to explore, there are trails nearby, and the Arc Dome Wilderness Area is just a short trip away. While cell service is spotty, this adds to the charm, allowing you to truly disconnect and soak in the natural beauty. Just be prepared for cooler temperatures at night, especially in the fall, as one reviewer suggested bringing heavy sleeping bags.

Though the roads can be a bit overgrown, they’re manageable for most vehicles, and the secluded vibe means you’ll likely have the place to yourself. Whether you’re camping solo or with friends, Peavine Campground offers a laid-back atmosphere that’s hard to beat.

Nice little spot between rivers.

It 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.

Peaceful and secluded just what I was looking for!

Had 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.

Peavine FS

Roughly 30 minutes from the main highway, tucked away in a canyon past some quarry work and ranch land. Roads in the campsite are slightly overgrown as of 5 june 2021, but 4wd should not be needed(should consider high clearance). No service with Verizon, but the canyon was quite and will get you through the night in private.
