Free and drive-in accessible, Pine Canyon Dam sits on BLM Land managed by the Caliente Field Office in southern Nevada, roughly 16 miles southeast of campgrounds near Caliente. Concrete pads accommodate RVs and trailers, though reviewers note the site runs dirty. Cell service is limited, and the campground draws little crowd. It functions well as an overnight stop along a north-south route, particularly for travelers heading toward Oregon.
Description
This site is an Army Corps of Engineers flood control dam for the railroad. The site contains two shade structures, picnic tables, grills, fire pits, garbage cans, and vault toilets.
