Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Area

Was just driving by, saw sign, spontaneously went for it. At 5pm only 3 of 16 spots were occupied. By 9pm was half full. Clean, quiet, sweet petroglyph and view walk. Trash cans at each site. Shade at most sites. Pit toilets are stinky but clean. Free. Very grateful for this place and BLMs care of it.

Very nice BLM campground. Many of the sites are among trees which help provide much needed shade and wind protection. Other surrounding unshaded sites seem to be a bit larger. We managed to fit our 22 foot RV into one of the shady spots and was fairly level. The vault toilets were reasonably clean. We arrived late in the afternoon (... more

Great spot beautiful views and hike sad thing about it was some had graffitied the petroglyphs. I would say no one big than our 21 ft trailer would fit.

I loved this campground, the petroglyphs were an easy walk about 1 mile for the hole loop. The spots in the trees were not easy to get level in, but just around the loop from the spot I stayed in was level spots in full sun no shade. The trees are nice spots are clean. It was about 1/4 mile in gravel road, wash boardery but not bad.

I always like finding little interesting places in the middle of nowhere. We were doing a drive through from the west coast and saw this campground listed. It’s a free BLM site with good basics, pit toilets, picnic tables, BBQ fire boxes and some sites have sunshades. The pit toilets at the trailhead just at the entrance to the campgro... more

We were traveling back home (fleeing the covid chaos) and needed a spot between here and home (45 min west of Tahoe). Found this and was skeptical due to reviews, but I’m posting my review in my camp chair, so Verizon signal is fine. 1-2 LTE bars. Tad breezy but we are tucked in the trees and I’m in shorts. Only one other site taken... more

Perfect free site! Good tables, pits, vault toilets, and history. Had ourselves a little fire and called it a night. No consumer cellular coverage.

Nice campsite with plenty of trees for shade. Kind of hard to find a level spot to park. Beautiful views. Only bad side was the bathrooms. They stunk so bad. I have stayed in plenty of places with vault toilets and these were by far the worst. I probably won't be back for that reason alone.

Great Boondocking would’ve stayed longer but have somewhere else to be. Each site had a covered picnic table, a firing ring and a barbecue grill. The trail was very interesting and easy for even the beginners. The trail included a self-guided brochure which pointed out many interesting facts. The views were breathtaking. Would def... more

So yeah this was a perfect stop going across Nevada on the Loneliest Hwy. Nice little hiking trails around petroglyphs and they also have restrooms and trash cans. Perfect BLM spot .
