Peavine Campground
RV travelers can head into the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and park their rigs at the Peavine Campground. Peavine Campground is at an elevation of 6,300 feet, which gives cooler temperatures when the desert valleys are baking in the hot summer sun. Peavine Campground has limited campsites that are primitive. RVs should have gray-water and sewer systems. Guests need to bring potable water with them because there are no water connections at the campground. There are vault toilets for guest use. Pets are allowed. The national forest has many miles of hiking trails for desert exploration.
