Fort Churchill State Historic Park

Great trail system btw the campgrounds and Buckland Station. Well finished surface. Minimal grade. Sage trimmed back. Route meanders along the Carson River.

An amazing place to spend the day or camp. $5 to spend the day there and $15 a night to camp. There are picnic areas and restrooms. Please make sure to respect the area. It's open 24hrs, 7 days a week.

I had a wonderful time walking through history during the day and also enjoyed an entertaining and informative candle light walk through the ruins of Fort Churchill. I highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic piece of history located along the Carson River south of Silver Springs. The visitors center was recently reopened after a multi-year renovation. The attached photos & videos are from the reopening ceremony in October 2025. Also an excellent campground with shade, pit toilets, running water, tables, fire pits, and level sites.

I'd say this place is more for rv folks then tent campers. Only a few spots are private. Most are really close to each other. We went in August and hardly any water in the Carson river. Vault toilets that need to be emptied. Lots of flies almost, like a lot. They do have a good price on firewood. 20 a day for non nevada residents. With all the other camping places we wouldn't return .
