The Best Camping Near Nixon, Nevada

Very cool dispersed camping areas all along Pyramid Lake at all the different beaches, right on the water. We stopped at Popcorn Rock to check it out and possibly stay the night, but the fees are what convinced us to keep moving to a free spot. This area is tribal land and you need to pay a fee to use the lake- $32/night for camping and $20/day for day use. 

  

There are toilets as well as recycling and trash bins (no glass recycling. Plastic and aluminum only). There are two little picnic benches and shade structures for the day use area. There’s surprisingly good cell reception in this area. Easy access for big rigs.
