The big attraction here is, of course, the caves. The half-mile Cave trail begins in the campground, with a series of stone steps leading to the rock shelter site. The red, yellow, black and white images (pictographs) here were painted by ancient Shoshones. Projectile points found at this cave date to about 600-1300 CE. On nearby BLM land is Spencers Hot Springs. The water is 192 degrees, and there is a developed tub and a below-ground pool. 2 units NO group.
from Tonopah, Follow US 6 east from Tonopah to the State Road 376 junction. Turn left and continue north for approximately 100 miles to the Nevada State shaped sign, about 0.1 mile south of the US 50 and State Road 376 junction. Turn right onto this road and continue approximately 12 miles to the campground.
Secluded, we saw nobody else while we were there. Clean bathroom (cleaned weekly in season judging from the chart on the door), but there’s no way to lock the door. Short hike to Toquima Cave, short drive down the road to Spencer Hot Springs. Loved it here.
Very remote and yet nice campground. Stayed there for 2 nights in July 2021. Had the whole place to ourselves (no one else camped there). No water, so you need to bring every drop, bottle, bucket...... yourself!
Remote and primitive campsite nestled in a pinyon and juniper forest. Picnic tables and fire rings with an outhouse. If there is anyone else camping there, chances are they are cool like you.
