Camping at Barley Creek Campground
Generally only open May to October, as weather and conditions allow, Barley Creek Campground is located in the mountains inside Table Mountain Wilderness, along Forest Road 44005 (on Google Maps as Barley Crk Rd and NF-005). The road itself is not a part of the Wilderness.
The road in starts just east of the town of Tonopah, at the intersection of US-6 and NV-376. Head north on NV-376 for 13.3 miles and then take NV-82 north for 32.7 miles until you reach Barley Crk Rd (Forest Road 44005). Head east along this road and follow it for 10 miles until you reach the campground.
Barley Creek Road starts out firm-packed dirt and remains this way until you ascend into the mountains, and then remains firm but becomes rocky. 2WD vehicles are fine, but you may want to consider high clearance. There are bushes and tree branches that will brush against the side of your vehicle. But for the most part, the road is doable for just about any vehicle. Trailers are fine, but I would advise against towing anything longer than 20 feet because it’s a bumpy, long drive to the campground.
