Camping at Peavine Creek Campground

Generally open May to October as weather and conditions allow, Peavine Creek Campground offers access to Arc Dome Wilderness by the Peavine and Toms Canyon Trailheads. It’s also a popular campground during the summer due to its relatively cool temperatures and proximity to fuel and supplies in Tonopah.

Peavine Road is a firm-packed gravel road, though narrow for much of the way from the town of Peavine. It’s bumpy in a lot of places, but still doable via 2WD, and still capable of towing a longer trailer.

Peavine Creek runs through the campground, offering a soothing ambiance. Night skies are pitch black, aside from moonlight. The town of Tonopah lies 49 miles to the south and offers the closest fuel and supplies.
