Toquima Caves Campground
Humboldt-Toiyabe
Nat'l Forest -
Austin Ranger District
 Toquima Caves
is located at Pete's Summit in the Toquima Range. Only 1/4 mile from the campground down an easy hike
trail is Toquima Cave, a petroglyphic landmark. Toquima Cave is an interesting site to see
if you are in the area, but I would not consider it a
destination. The campground is well forested with
piñon pines. Most of these
pines just barely reach 20 feet tall, leaving only
moderate shade in the midday, but shade is quite
good in the mornings and evenings.
There are 6 sites, but only 2 have
picnic tables. One of the picnic tables is
light enough to be moved to another site if your
chosen site does not have a table, but the other
is pretty darn heavy. The front site has a fire
pit with a grill, the rest have fire rings.
There is only one unisex vault toilet (very
clean), in the center of the loop.
Bring plenty of water with
you. Though forested, the area is pretty dry and it's a
20 mile drive to a perennial creek. Reviewed 07/1998,
