Ranch
Campground
Nevada State
Parks - Spring Valley State Park
 This
is a really cool looking camp, it is spectacular, kind of like
something from Disneyland. It's hard to believe this
camp gets overlooked for Horsethief Gulch. It is located
next to the state park ranger station 2 miles up from Eagle
Valley Reservoir. This would be my choice of camping in
the area, but facilities are less developed than the
Horsethief Gulch camp.
The sites are set among big
picturesque rock formations (somewhat similar to Cathedral
Gorge on a much smaller scale). Each site has a picnic
table, fire pit with barbecue grill. There is moderate
shade from junipers scattered around. It could get
rather hot here in summer, but shade is available in a few
sites where the big rock outcroppings block the sun.
Some are rather exposed.
There
is a hiking trail at the back of the campground that takes you
through a juniper/pinion forest to the Old Stone Cabin. The
hike is approx. 3 miles. RV Dump Station at Horsethief
Gulch. Reviewed 03/2000.
