West Walker River Roadside Camp

A creek runs directly alongside camp at West Walker River Roadside Camp, a dispersed site in Toiyabe National Forest outside Coleville, California. The road in includes an incline toward the back section, which one visitor in a raised, extended-length van was able to navigate. Fall foliage along the creek corridor is a draw in late October. Campers who want campsites near Coleville with direct water access and room to choose their own spot will find this worth the short drive south.

Gorgeous

Love love this spot. Got to listen to the river all night. I’ve been back a few times since. And will go back again.

Great Spot!

We really liked this spot we were only ones here so we got to pick where we parked. Right off the road but there is an incline on the road to get to the back section where we camped. We are raised and drive a 170 extend van and we’re able to make it. Creek is right next to you. Fall colors are amazing.
