Pine Creek Campground is a Forest Service site in Nevada's Alta Toquima Wilderness, within the Austin-Tonopah Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. It sits inside designated wilderness, and the land is managed by the Forest Service. The site has no fees, and the only amenity is vault toilets. That makes it a simple base for overnight stays in the backcountry, with no need to plan around a fee or a developed campsite. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 83°F with lows near 48°F, while winter highs hover around 42°F with lows in the mid-teens. Several hikes start close by. Pine Creek is about 0.6 miles away, Bucks Canyon about 1.1 miles, and North Summit Mt Jefferson about 1.6 miles. Pasco Canyon is roughly 2.9 miles off.
