Big Bend Campground has 19 campsites in an aspen grove and is located next to the mining town site of Gold Creek in a remote area of northern Nevada. Very little remains of the town as most of it was moved or torn down in the 1920s. A plaque at the town site contains additional information.

Campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs (up to 25 feet). Each site also has a table, fire ring and grill. Potable drinking water is not available but there are 2 vault toilets and trash receptacles. Cell service is not available in the area.

Other campgrounds in the area include Wild Horse Creek Crossing and Wild Horse SRA.
