Samuel Bucklands Campground

We spent two days camping here and it was absolutely amazing. Super peaceful area. The campgrounds are spaced out nicely. There are vault toilets and the bathrooms are well kept. There are water pumps for water. Trash cans around camp, and a dumpster at the very entrance of the campground. Can accommodate tents/trailers/hike in. One camp ground is specifically for walk-in/bike in only. The campground is also well kept. It's a great place to explore history and nature. The park is open 24hrs. It is $15 to camp. There is firewood available for $5. It goes to a veteran. The rangers are super nice and helpful. We saw deer, black tailed jack rabbits, coyotes, and all kinds of birds. The Pony Express trail is marked along the road. We saw the northern lights, while camping there. A great place to relax, take the kids and let them explore. It is dog friendly. Please make sure to clean up after yourself and put your fires completely out. There is a nature trail that takes you to the Carson River. An incredible area to explore and spend time. We will be back!

Loved camping here so much that we're going back in a couple of weeks! Clean campgrounds and bathrooms. Sites are far enough away from each other for privacy, peace and quiet. We ran out of a few things but fortunately there's stores a few miles away. Very friendly and helpful park rangers. Boondocking at it's finest!

Loved it want to return for a camping weekend, can't wait to check it all out again, was a really nice day! PS I luvs my Husband mush !!

Beautiful old growth cottonwood grove with plenty of room and shade for everyone. Easy walk to the Carson River. Lots of history passed through this little valley. Ft. Churchill, the California Trail and the Pony Express Trail all ran right through the campground. Highly recommended. Restrooms are clean, dump station and portable water at the entrance. Nice picnic tables and fire rings in each site.

Great place. We made no reservation and had several websites available. We paid $ 20 a night, it was a very calm, quiet place, there were some people around, but very quiet. I recommend this place, I read about the bathroom, but I ended up not going to use it, so I don't know if it's really disgusting .. but waking up with several birds singing is wonderful, I recommend this place
