Best Campgrounds near Caliente, NV

There are 15 camp sites located on the lake side. Lots of hiking & birding. Camp host came and checked on us.

The Camp ground full sign was never taken down even though there were several camp sites available every night.

Trash located at entrance & water available at the visitor center.

This is a great stop when headed north or south. We always visit twice a year!! It’s well kept and quiet. Perfect spot

I spent a couple of days here in August and did some nude hiking around the rock areas.  I  had the whole place to myself for most of the time.    It was hot, but that's perfect for me since I'm nude all the time.  I'd return here when I'm headed to the Lake Mead area in the near future (one of my very favorite nude destinations).

One of the best hidden gems in Nevada! Great camping with clean restrooms and well maintained campgrounds. Plenty of good trails nooks and crannies to explore.

Highly recommended!!

Amazing spot. Lots of birds!

Bring your boat kayak or paddle boards and enjoy the lake. There is abundant

wildlife to view and peace and quiet.

14 days stay limit and free, unbelievable. There are paths for walking or e-bike riding. We did not go to the Visitor Center but would make sure and check it out next time. 

We got the last available spot and counted ourselves blessed. Gets pretty busy here so the earlier in the day you arrive, the better your chance to find a spot.

We have stayed here a few times with no issue. The people that answer the phone are nice and helpful. We stayed at this park along our commute to Oregon.

Full Hook Ups.

Easy to get into the park and easy to get situated.

All dirty, with concrete pads for your RV or Trailer.

Not a bad spot, felt safe and headed out the next day during our commute.

Wow, I've never seen so many stars. Really wish I booked 2 nights here. Quiet & clean off the beaten path. Easy hiking trails, great scenery.

New and clean facilities. Friendly staff. Table has a roof cover.

Reserve a spot on long trip down to AZ

I've stayed here once before and wanted to stay again and found no open spots. The camp host Marian found me a great spot. She is the best 😁

General: 24 sites, all with 50-amp electric hookups, a covered picnic table, and grill (two are ADA accessible). There are also several “overflow” spaces with no hookups and two group sites (there were AmeriCorps volunteers in these sites when we were there). The only sites that are reservable are the group sites. 

Site Quality: All are level, and the surface is gravel. Some are pull-through, some back-in, and some can easily accommodate two vehicles. Many were a bit close together with minimal foliage separating them. If you can get it, IMO the best site is 14; it has unobstructed views on one side. 

Bath/Shower: Basic but clean. Shelves for toiletries and small but noisy hand dryers, but NO soap. One shower looked okay but didn’t use it. 

Activities: Explore the slot canyons! These narrow canyons cut deep into the old muds that millions of years ago were at the bottom of the lake. Exploring these was so much fun! There are also six hiking trails, ranging in distance from .5 mile to 6 miles. We hiked to Miller’s Point, taking the steep stairs others have mentioned. If you want to go but don’t want to hike, you can drive - there is a parking lot at the top! 

We had been apprehensive that the campground would be full but on a Tuesday at the end of March, it was only one-third full, making our stay peaceful and quiet (it might be a different story if the campground was full). We had planned to spend two nights here but the second day was forecasted to bring rain, wind, and snow so we decided to find a campground in less inclement weather.

This was our first stop on our two week excursion. It was first come, first serve. Thankfully we got a spot with electric and water. There are showers here. It was too cold to check them out,(the shower on our conversion van is tiny) bathrooms are nice and clean and plentiful. Go see the slot canyons and moon caves. Several trails in the park. Well worth it.

Pulled right into a perfect spot with privacy 👌🏿 plenty of room for at least 2 5th wheels. Didn't check out the bathroom, but indeed there is bathrooms. Beware of the animals!! Only seen about 4 deer my 2 days of camping but we seen probably 40+ cows throughout our whole stay. They're at your campsite and all the trails. I'll definitely recommend this place and will be coming back! 

Always remember folks if you bring it, you pack it out! Let's keep our camping spots clean so the next person can enjoy it as much as you did.
