Horsethief Gulch Campground
Nevada State Parks - Spring Valley State Park

This campground is right inside the entrance to Spring Valley State Park at the Eagle Valley Dam.  Spring Valley is very popular with fishermen.  A floating dock heads into the lake and is typically full with people fishing.

Campsites are located across the road from the lake in a dense piñon/juniper forested canyon in one big loop.  Each campsite has it's own water spigot (no water in winter), picnic table with a shade verandah, fire pit and barbecue grill.  The restroom facilities are located centrally in the loop (But there should be more facilities for a camp this size).  The camp provides free firewood.  No reservations are accepted, but 2 other camps (less popular) are within 2 miles when full.

The only hike in the park is the Old Stone Cabin Trail, located 2 miles north.  It heads into the woodlands for 3 miles and ends up at the Ranch Campground.  The Eagle Valley Resort is a couple of miles down stream for any needed supplies.  Boat Ramp.  RV Dump Station.  Reviewed 03/2000.
