Summary
Reservations are not required—sites are first-come, first-served. There is a small nightly fee. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and limited potable water (seasonal). RVs are allowed, though there are no hookups. Set in a high-desert landscape with sweeping mountain views, the campground offers a quiet, rugged experience ideal for stargazing and solitude. Nearby attractions include the scenic Ghost Town of Goldfield and off-road trails for OHV enthusiasts. The best time to visit is spring or fall when temperatures are milder. Summer can be extremely hot, and winter brings cold nights.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
