First time we overnighted in the RV park and were lucky enough to time it with their Sunday buffet linner. The second time was to charge our Cybertruck. It's the best stop between Fernley and Eureka because we were towing our travel trailer. So, whatever floats your boat, this is a great place to stop. Thank you for your hospitality!

We were immediately greeted with a warm smile to be seated and asked what we would like to drink.

The owner gave us a little back story on the restaurant and I thought how sweet she was to talk to us even though she was busy. The stop is definitely worth it!!!

I noticed one picnic table but there is a picnic and play area for small children. The restrooms are clean. The ladies room has a baby changing station. The ladies room has a sewer gas smell but again, it is clean. They have 10 sites on the upper east side of the building and more on the west side at a lower elevation, the street to access the west side is steep. The sites are above the road, our bedroom is up front so the noise didn't bother us at all. Full Hookups 50 amp for $35 per night. Call 775-722-7027 before unhooking. The secretary got right back to me and we were able to stay in the site we backed into. Note the phone number is wrong on this app at the time of this review.

Nope...not fancy but had everything we needed including air conditioning which worked fine. The front desk person was great...friendly also (a trait Austin isn't always known for in my 40 years of going through now & then). Giving it 4 stars as it was just fine - not perfect. Weighted against the alternatives 150 miles in any direction (few) it is an oasis. I'm sure we'll stay there again!

She was pleasant and helpful. The cost for a room with two beds was very reasonable. Like I said before though, the exterior leaves a lot to be desired as it looks incredibly rundown. The interior however was very neat and clean. The beds were both nicely made and everything worked perfectly in our room. The receptionist was polite and very helpful, even though we had woken her up at 1 am. All in all a pleasant experience.

The back in sites are a little weedy. And not as level. You pull in and go to the right and come around the back for the pull throughs. Plenty of room to turn with our 35 ft pulling a jeep toad. And sites are long enough to keep the toad hooked up. Recommend you call to reserve slot. He only takes cash or Zelle. If you get his voicemail he will call you back. Take note. The only store is champs which is a convenience store. And Austin is known as the city of churches. A lot of old churches and other old buildings.

If anyone is looking for a last minute place to stay for the night while driving US Highway 50, or…read morebetter known as The Loneliest Road in America, I highly recommend this Bob Scott Campground. Bob Scott Campground is located just 7 miles southeast of the small town of Austin, Nevada and sits around the midpoint along the Loneliest Road in America. To be exact, it's situated 200 miles west of Baker, Nevada and 180 miles east of the Reno/Carson City area. I thought I could make the entire 408 mile drive through the center of Nevada but with making stops in all the small towns along the way, I realized it may be time to find a place to rest for the evening. As always, in times of uncertainty, I pulled up the trusty ole app on my phone called Campendium, and conveniently...this Bob Scott Campground was suggested. A great aspect about the location here is that the campground is right off the highway, so...you don't have to drive out of your way to find quick and simple accommodations. I also noticed, if you plug "Bob Scott Campground" into Google Maps, (assuming there is cell phone reception while you are driving), you will be guided here without issue. First off I'd like to mention...while camping here, cell phone coverage actually worked perfectly! In fact, along the entire Loneliest Road drive, I'd say this campground featured the most bars of reception I had outside of passing through any of the roadside towns. That was such a surprise to me because....upon pulling into the campground, it felt like I was in the middle of nowhere. The campground was pretty basic and served its purpose, yet had everything I needed to "survive the night", lol. There are only 9 tent/RV sites available + 1 group site. It's a $10 fee for any of the 9 sites and is $25 for the group site. All you do (like a lot of campgrounds do) is occupy a campsite, fill out an information slip including payment and drop it into the safe-box. It is first come, first served for campers. There are no ways to make reservations online. According to the website...https://travelnevada.com/camping/bob-scott-campground (which offers great insight into the campground), "Each campsite is equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, shady vegetation, along with access to drinking water, and flush toilets. Dogs are welcome, but must be leashed". Yeah, so, this Bob Scott Campground was really secluded. Walking among the grounds offered plenty of spacing and privacy. I had a feeling of being transported into the heart of the woods. Truly, it was difficult to believe there could be such an accessible and quiet campground just feet from the Loneliest Road in the USA...and yet I felt like I was miles from civilization. During the summertime when I visited, there was myself and 1 other campsite even being occupied. Just thinking...I can't imagine all 9 sites ever getting taken all within one evening. That'd be hard to believe considering how remote the Loneliest Road is and how most folks would just find lodging in the towns of Fallon, Middlegate, Austin, Eureka or Ely. Looking back at the website again, Bob Scott Campground is only accessible "seasonally during the late spring, summer, and early fall months". And...it's located..."within access of some of the region's best hiking trails, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, and scenic vistas". There is a phone number to call for any questions, (775) 964 - 2671. I had a terrific night's sleep in my tent while occupying campsite #1 of 9. Also, the bathroom (which was a flush toilet, woohoo!) was only a few feet away. In the morning time when I woke up and packed my belongings, I only had to drive 7 miles into the town of Austin to pick up a breakfast sandwich and hot chocolate at the local gas station. Then I was on my way to completing the "Loneliest Road Journey". Bob Scott Campground was a fantastic last-minute find and I can't thank Campendium enough for being my savior once again. For any of you adventurers out there, if you haven't already...you must download the Campendium app. It's free of charge to find campgrounds wherever you may be. Doing some reflecting on this Bob Scott Campground, it brings back fond memories from driving the Loneliest Road in America. I'm happy to have camped out here.
