Welcome to Dayton State Park Campground, nestled near the historic town of Dayton, NV. This cozy campground offers ten spacious sites, perfect for both tent and RV camping. Each site comes equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, making it easy to settle in and enjoy your stay.
One of the standout features here is the abundance of shade provided by majestic cottonwood trees, which is a real blessing during the hot summer months. While there are no water or sewer hookups, you’ll find drinking water available from spigots and a sanitary dump station for RVs, though it does come with a small fee.
The campground is conveniently located near the Carson River, offering some short trails for a leisurely hike along the water canal. You might even spot some peacocks roaming around, adding a unique touch to your stay. And if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of wild horses grazing nearby.
For those interested in local history, the park has a rich background tied to the silver mining era, with some historic ruins to explore. The day-use area is particularly lovely, featuring flush toilets and a well-maintained lawn, perfect for a picnic or just relaxing.
Keep in mind that while the campground is close to the highway, which can bring some noise, it’s also just a short drive to Carson City and Virginia City, making it a convenient base for exploring the area. Whether you’re here for a quick stopover or a longer stay, Dayton State Park Campground offers a peaceful retreat with a touch of Nevada’s wild charm.
