About Campground

The main campground has 20 sites suitable for travel trailers, motorhomes or tents. Campsites include a table and fire ring, and all are shaded by large cottonwood trees. Sites cannot be reserved and there are no hook-ups, but an RV dump station is nearby. A camping limit of 7 days in a 30-day period is enforced.

Scout Camp is located on the Carson River Ranch section of Fort Churchill, adjacent to the Carson River. It is a large, dispersed camping or day-use area that includes picnic tables, fire rings with grill tops, one vault toilet, and multiple horse corrals. Scout Camp is a carry in, carry out trash area. Horse manure needs to be picked up and carried out, or disposed of in the designated manure dump. There is no electricity or water available here. Sites cannot be reserved.

Group Area: The group area will accommodate up to 60 persons for group camping or picnicking on a reservation-only basis. No electricity is available. No RVs, please. For reservations, contact the park office.

Nice little camp site on the river. The Nats were crazy tho, bring all of the bug repellant you have. Even a mosquitoe net hat would be a good idea.

We took our tent out and spent the night. The neighbors had music on but turned it off at 10pm. The grounds were nice and the restroom was clean. Take wipes for hands, because there is water but not a sink to wash up.

There were a lot of bugs and swamp this season due the huge amount of rain we have had this year. Still a very special place.
