Great place for camping. Good amenities. Covered picnic table and fire ring at each site. Very nice restrooms with flushing toilets and showers. Fishing is good also. Mostly trout, crappie and a rare bass.
We enjoyed our stayed at HORSETHIEF GULCH CAMPGROUND, in Nevada Spring Valley State Park for eight days in campsites 22 & 23 spanning Memorial Day 2018. There were five of us in two motorhomes.
Spring Valley is a very beautiful and remote area.. no cell service within several miles. The small reservoir lake offered good fishing. Cindy and my two granddaughters caught 20 trout over the days we were there. Most were caught from the end of the boat dock.
We enjoyed our two campsites especially since they were at the very back end of the campground affording us more privacy. Some of the campsites were level and some were not. Site 22 was a bit sloped whereas our site 23 was a long level drive. The entire campground roads were gravel/dirt.
Our campsites had nice covered picnic tables as well as fire rings. Lots of nice shade trees throughout the campground. RV dump services were available just outside the campground and water was available at several places throughout the campground. Restrooms were available as was a public pay phone.
During Memorial Day weekend, all sites except the two designated as handicapped were full, some sites were overfilled, the overflow area near the garbage dumpsters was also full. Still it was quiet at night and very pleasant.
Unfortunately, there was never any firewood in the campground bins so we had to buy from a nearby RV park. Rangers rode through the campground several times a day. All facilities were well tended except the overflowing dumpsters.
We enjoyed our stay and will go back to HORSETHIEF GULCH CAMPGROUND.
What a hidden gem. This campground is about 3.5 hours north of Vegas. It’s small, but well spaced sites with some having electric. It was quiet and with no light pollution, the night sky was gorgeous. A really nice place to relax and escape the city.
Two different prices per night depending on what state your plates are from. Not really sure where military families fall living in NV with out of state plates. Never saw a ranger while we were here.
What an amazing campground! Location is spectacular but the sites themselves are awesome. Level sites with gravel and multiple tents pads - covered picnic tables - fire pits. Clean restroom and shower facilities. Definitely a top 5 campground and priced at only $15. They have a new credit card system that is very convenient. Water stations and a very nice dump site located just outside the campground. Access to the lake was excellent - definitely walkable.
