Campground Overview

About Lookout Campground

Perched at 6,770 feet amidst a serene grove of aspen, pine, and fir trees, Lookout Campground stands out as a tranquil escape into the heart of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. This lightly developed camping spot offers privacy, natural beauty, and a connection to the wild, making it an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and outdoor adventure.

The campground provides 17 campsites and a reservable group picnic area, all equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and tent pads. With vault toilets and trash service available, visitors will find practical amenities, though there is no potable water or electric hookups—campers should come prepared. Nearby, the striking Crystal Peak offers unique hiking opportunities with a chance to discover its famed crystal formations, while off-highway vehicle trails and wildlife viewing enrich the recreational experiences.

Located near the California-Nevada border, just west of Reno, Lookout Campground is about a 45-minute drive from the city. It serves as a gateway to the American Discovery Trail and the surrounding wilderness, offering easy access to Dog Valley’s off-roading opportunities and Peavine Mountain biking trails. With its peaceful ambiance and proximity to these attractions, Lookout Campground is a perfect retreat for weekend getaways or extended nature-filled vacations.
