Bob Scott Campground

I think this might be my favorite campground in Nevada. It’s certainly the one I visit most frequently (two or three times per year, for the last three years.) It’s conveniently located right off Route 50. It’s high enough (7,200 ft) to be cool at night, and not as hot as the valleys during the day. It’s very small (only ten sites) but the sites are spacious, with mature Pinyon, Juniper, and Sage... I think this might be my favorite campground in Nevada.

It’s high enough (7,200 ft) to be cool at night, and not as hot as the valleys during the day. It’s very small (only ten sites) but the sites are spacious, with mature Pinyon, Juniper, and Sage as the main greenery. The campsite Pinyons are trimmed to provide shade. Each site has a parking area, a tent area, a metal table, fire pit, and grill. The whole place is very clean, and very quiet. I’ve never been here when the campground was full, and a few times I’ve been the only one here. For whatever reason, I’ve never seen a family here - mostly singles, and usually older. Yes, you can hear traffic on Route 50 during the day, but is faint and infrequent. As other folks have mentioned, there are bathrooms and water taps. No trash collection and no dump station. There are walking trails in the hills on both sides of the road.

This is a small campground in the mountains above Austin. They have flush toilets and water. The sites are well spread out and ours had a great view. A few are large enough for a 30' plus trailer but many sites are not level which can make it tricky for RVs and tenters alike. The Pinyon pine/Sagebrush area is quite lovely. Some reviewers complained about traffic noise from Hwy 50 but it wasn't bad... This is a small campground in the mountains above Austin. They have flush toilets and water.

My traveling partner Eric and I enjoyed a one night stay here.The campground is beautifully sited and very quiet. No light pollution at night so we enjoyed the full display of the Milky Way! Stunning! The facilities help assure a comfortable stay: water is available and the bathrooms are nice enough. We fully appreciated the quality experience this campground provided and I will seek to access it...
