Lower Bluster Campground is a Forest Service site in the Mountain City-Ruby Mountains-Jarbidge Ranger District of Nevada's Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. It sits among a cluster of campgrounds, with Pine Creek Campground about 0.2 miles away and Upper Bluster Campground about 0.3 miles away, and it is managed by the Forest Service. The site has vault toilets, and no fees are required to use it. That makes it a simple, low-cost base for an overnight stay in this part of the forest. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Jarbidge weather station, which sits about 600 feet lower than the campground, show July and August highs in the low 80s with lows around 48°F. Winter is cold, with January highs near 38°F and lows around 17°F. The Jarbidge River is about 1.7 miles away, and the Jarbidge River Trail is about 2 miles off. For more time on the water, the East Fork Jarbidge River is about 7 miles away.
