Description: Elevation 7,800 feet. 4 sites, including 1 RV-only site. The big attraction here is, of course, the caves. The half-mile Cave trail begins in the campground, with a series of stone steps leading to the rock shelter site. The red, yellow, black and white images (pictographs) here were painted by ancient Shoshones. Projectile points found at this cave date to about 600-1300 CE.
On nearby BLM land is Spencers Hot Springs. The water is 192 degrees, and there is a developed tub and a below-ground pool.
Location: From Austin, take US 50 east for about 40 miles to NV 376. Go south for 0.1 mile, turn right at the Nevada-shaped sign, the turn right again and go about 12 miles.
