Cathedral Rock Picnic Area in NV -- Campground & RV Camping

Cathedral Rock is a day-use group picnic area near the top of Kyle Canyon in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area. Set in a forest of ponderosa pine, white fir, aspen, and oak, the facility features two large group sites built with cement pads, large picnic tables, serving tables, and outdoor grills. Amenities include paved parking areas, vault toilets, drinking water, and trash collection.
