About

Belmont Campground is a primitive camping area situated in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, approximately 2 miles southwest of the historic mining town of Belmont, Nevada. This rustic, no-fee campground offers a true backcountry experience with no developed amenities or site features. Campers will find dispersed camping opportunities with space for about 8 vehicles, accessible via a 0.7-mile dirt road off NV-82. The campground provides a base for exploring the surrounding high desert landscape and nearby recreation opportunities including day hiking, backpacking, and OHV trail riding. Visitors must be completely self-sufficient, as there is no potable water, no restrooms, and no trash service. All waste must be packed out. The area allows horses and pack animals, though certified weed-free hay is required. Dogs are permitted but must be kept on a leash. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis during its seasonal window from mid-May through late October, weather and road conditions permitting. Winter snow and mud typically close access during the colder months. Campers should come prepared with adequate water, supplies, and be ready for variable high desert weather conditions.
