Camping at Pine Creek Campground

Situated on the eastern side of the Toquima Mountain Range in the Monitor Valley, Pine Creek Campground is known for its fishing in Peavine Creek. It offers two trailheads with access to Arc Dome Wilderness at the end of Forest Road 020.

The town of Tonopah is located 66 miles to the south, while the town of Austin is 80 miles to the north. The campground is far enough away from civilized amenities that it becomes a great place to get away from others.

Pine Creek Campground are surrounded by Birch and Aspens, with Pine Creek itself trickling water through the campground year around.

Access into Pine Creek Campground is along State Route 82 (which itself is a dirt road), and then along Pine Creek Campground Road. The road is hard-packed gravel, suitable for any 2WD vehicle, though bumpy in places, and there are dips where the back of your trailer may scrape if you don’t have enough ground clearance.
