Sacramento Pass Campground Nevada

Sacramento Pass Overview

Sacramento Pass Campground is located just off Highway 50 and has 10 large campsites on the crest of the Snake Range with views of Weaver Creek basin and Great Basin National Park. The campground has an upper loop (4 campsites) and a lower loop with 6 pull-thru campsites circling a small pond.

The BLM campground is open year round and campsites are first-come, first-served. Amenities include vault toilets and trash collection. Cell service is poor in the area. Campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs. Each site also has a gravel parking spur (up to 60 feet), table, fire ring and grill.

Sacramento Pass Campground – Area Recreation & Activities

Outdoor recreation in the area includes fishing, hiking, OHV trail riding, mountain biking, horseback riding, stargazing, picnicking and wildlife viewing.

A network of two-track roads allows hikers, bicyclists, horseback riders and OHV enthusiasts a chance to explore some beautiful country and see some historic mining ruins. Across the highway to the north Blackhorse Mining District, a ghost town still has remains to explore. To the west, the Historic Osceola Town Site, still an active mining community, has unique mining equipment present. Things to note: 3 trail loops (closed to motorized use) of various lengths meander through the unique quartzite rock formations. There is one equestrian signed trail: 6 miles one way that extends into Weaver Creek basin and into the National Park, the trail is open to all uses.
