The park is located 67 miles north of Elko on State Route 225.
I would give 5 stars if it were my type of place. It is a very pretty, clean park, and low priced. Just driving around I saw white tail deer and little rodents scurrying around the picnic tables. I prefer a more primitive site. My dog would have gone nuts, not being allowed to chase anything.
Beautiful place and amazing fishing. Stunning view of the Ruby mountains. The fish cleaning station is definitely an added bonus. Very clean and well taken care of. The caretakers go above and beyond.
Wild horse state park is a great place ! New bathrooms and showers and really nice RV spots. Only one spot has hookups and we were lucky enough to get it for $10 dollars more a day. Our spot was not numbered the sign said "hook-ups ". Just beautiful out there and a nice state park. Bring your supplies the little store near the park sells beer ,ice and just a few things.
This was one of the nicest camp grounds I have stayed in, very clean. The park itself was great. Showers where very clean and well cared for. I stayed in this campground as a kid almost 30years ago, and it certainly has changed, for the better. I'm giving it 5 stars. The park ranger was very arrogant, and flat out rude, he needs to learn some people skills, and realize his badge is not a right to be rude. The other part I didn't understand was getting charged for a complete camp site when my stepdads season pass covered the site, but beings my truck was out of state vehicle, I had to pay full price for camping, not just the out of state vehicle fee. I feel we got double charged for the space. That was a Nv state parks thing that I didn't agree with, but again the camp ground was so nice I gave 5 stars.
We stayed here twice this year. Once in Spring and once in Summer. Can not say enough about the wonderful staff! The ranger Josh was a joy to talk to and always ready to answer all questions.
Stacy was also very helpful and kept the bathroom/showers and fish table tip top. Really appreciated all her help.
Speaking of bathrooms/showers they were spotless. They looked to be remodeled and were the nicest I've seen traveling for a year and a half full-time on the road.
Drive in on the road was smooth, dump in good condition, garbage well kept and good water available. Any size rig can get in there.
The fishing in the spring was fantastic. WOW
Summer a bit slower but kayaking was great.
Met many campers out there and everyone very nice. We had no loud partiers at night. It really is one of our favorite spots.
We did do a ride across the road on East Gold Creek Rd. Stunning.
Didn't make it to Jarbidge though.
Also went up Jack Creek Road. Saw a lone female moose.
Do so wish they had full hook-ups. Only one site has hook-ups. We did get that one site in the Spring.
It was first come first serve but I believe by October 1st 2023 all NV State parks are going to a reservation system. Bummer. We always love first come first serve. So it doesn't turn into a big "no show" park with campers.
Lovely place, Lovely staff..... we hope to visit again in 2024
