CLOSED DUE TO FIRE DAMAGE - CLOSED INDEFINITELY (updated Nov 2022)
Adjacent to the Owyhee (Oh-WHY-HEE) River, a trout stream lined with willows and native brushes. Fishing for trout in river is available. Wildhorse Crossing CG is located in the Owyhee Canyon on the Mountain City Highway north of Wildhorse Reservoir (fishing!) and is right along the Owyhee River (fishing!) and lots of good opportunities for OHV recreation and many two track and dirt roads for mountain biking, hiking; has two double restrooms, 19 sites, no water, and is $5 per night. Not reservable.
From Mountain City, NV, take State Rt. 225 south 10.2 miles to campground sign. Turn left at sign into campground.
Regrowth from the fire in Wildhorse Canyon is going strong. Campers fill the park, boats on the water, fishermen line up on the shore, and the lake is full.
Get out of the heat and take a drive to Wildhorse Crossing!
Very peaceful surrounded by mountains and a stream to cool you down. The reservoir is only 6 miles away. This is a dry camp and no trash collection but can dispose at reservoir.
A quiet, little campground in a fairly remote area of Nevada. Toilets were clean and well taken care of and the campsites were generally well maintained except for a couple. The rushing river and wildlife nearby made for pleasant stay and a peaceful night's sleep.
