Nevada Camping Areas

Toquima Cave Campground


Toquima Cave Campground is located in the heart of Nevada's Toquima Mountain range, offering visitors stunning views of the surrounding mountain scenery. The campground is located near many points of interest, including the Toquima Cave, which features ancient petroglyphs and pictographs, and the nearby town of Austin, which has a rich mining history.

The campground amenities include 12 campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. There is also a vault toilet available, but no potable water on site. The campground operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, so reservations are not available, making it a great option for spontaneous trips.

An interesting fact about the area is that Toquima Cave is one of the few locations in Nevada with extensive prehistoric rock art. The cave contains over 700 images, including handprints, footprints, and animals, some of which are over 4,000 years old.

The best time of year to visit Toquima Cave Campground is in the summer months of June through August, with average temperatures ranging from 64-86°F. The cooler temperatures make it a great option for summer camping, especially for those looking to escape the heat of lower elevations. The campground is also accessible by car, making it an easy option for families or those with limited camping experience. Get driving directions.
