Samuel Buckland Campground
Nevada State
Parks - Fort Churchill State Park
 Samuel
Buckland Campground (commonly known as Fort Churchill
Campground) is located in Fort Churchill State
Historic Park, 10 miles south of the community of Silver
Springs not far off US Highway Alternate 95.
The camp is
located just beyond the ruins of
old Fort Churchill near the Carson River under big and shady
Cottonwood trees. Campsites are quiet, pretty and private.
The campground is set up in one big loop along a good
gravel road. Each site has a picnic table, fire
pit (with flip over BBQ grill) and water spigots nearby.
Site #20 is a Handicap Accessible site. Between
Sites #1 and #2 is a Walk-In/Bike-In site...which is not
available for car camping. A lot of RV's camp
here. At the most recent review, sites were
impeccably cleaned and groomed by the camp host.
Fishing is
possible in the nearby Carson River (but consumption
is not allowed). The
Fort Churchill ruins are neat to explore with a self-guiding
interpretive trail. There is also a museum building at
the entrance. RV Dump Station located near the entrance. Reviewed
