About
San Juan Cua Campground is a dispersed camping area located 31 miles south of Austin in the Toiyabe Range of central Nevada. The campground occupies an open setting with expansive canyon views and serves hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians accessing the Toiyabe Crest National Recreation Trail via the San Juan Trailhead. The area is popular for backpacking trips along the 62-mile Toiyabe Crest Trail. This is a primitive site with no developed facilities, no potable water, and no restrooms. Campers must be fully self-sufficient and pack out all trash. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leash, and equestrians must use certified weed-free hay. The access road follows portions of the historic Austin-Grantsville Stage Route, which operated from 1861 to 1866. The campground sees light use and offers solitude in a high-desert environment typical of the Basin and Range province.
Directions
