Peavine Creek Campground — Hotel in Tonopah

This campground is isolated and is first come, first serve. There is no reservation system due to the extreme low level of use. The last 9 miles is a dirt road but is ok for cars since it is maintained. This campground does have 2 homes you pass by heading into the canyon. Tonopah is the closest town but is at least and hour away. No pay stations so I assume it is free to camp. It is known for having one of the darkest sky at night. A very dark, isolated, and open area with a creek running next to it. The water level was sustainable for camping when I was there first week of August. A moonless night would be the ideal time to go and experience the night sky at this location, you will not be...

If you are looking for a bit of an adventure, this is a great campsite. It is fairly bare bones but it is free having said that. Keep in mind this is in a remote national forest 7 miles deep on a gravel road. Tip: If you wish to access the main part of the campsite with the restroom, take a right when you reach a fork and then the next left because it is fairly inaccesable from the left and google will route you to the left. If not, you can do dispersed style camping from the road on the left, which is what I did. Other than that this place is truly an oasis in the desert and located inside a beautiful canyon. Awesome place to get away...

I found this remote Campground as my backup Difficult to get in 4-wheel drive needed but the worst part was a narrow single-lane road for about 10mi. No place to turn around and bushes on either side scratching up your vehicle and a small River to cross at the end. I Won't be coming back to this...
