1. Big Bend
4 Reviews•10 Photos•11 SavesVery popular with hunters during the hunting seasons. The mining town site of Gold Creek, within the Island Mountain Mining District, is 5 miles south of Big Bend on county road 745. Very little remains of the town as most of it was moved or torn down in the 1920s. A plaque at the town site contains additional information. In an aspen grove surrounded by wide open country, 15 miles northeast of Wildhorse Reservoir.

North Wild Horse Recreation Area
The ground was alive
SO MANY CRICKETS! I paid before finding my campground and was unaware at how many crickets flooded the area. It looked like the ground was moving. It was 10$ a night so not a huge loss. Beautiful area with covered picnic tables and a great view of the water. Probably won’t be back. Woulda been an awesome spot if weren’t for the massive amount of crickets.

Blue tree
I didn't want to leave but we were running out of previsions. However before we left I hit a rather large root in the pathway and popped a tire. It is all dirt roads. I had to change a tire on a soft dirt road, it was almost impossible. We caught some sprinkles, which was awesome to escape the Las Vegas heat. The hike at sawmill was great. Not to hard. We made it to a peak. Seen horse's, lizards rabbits, and preying mantis. No amenities or water source. There is no fires allowed, stoves ok. There is a picnic area at sawmill trailhead with tables, grills and bathrooms. A few minutes walk or about 1 minute drive. I will be back. It is first come first serve there are no fees except gas and maybe a tire.

This Campground is Closed Gated and Locked
This Campground is Closed, Gated, and Locked. And has been for the last couple of years. I have no idea when or if it will reopen. But I can tell you the grass is 3ft to 4 ft tall on the roadway.

BIG BEND WAS AWESOME
I went there with my family and it was great. The only thing was if you do not go as far in you are bound to see more people.

Great spot
Campground was pretty clean and easily accessible. Close-ish to Wild Horse for fishing or boating. Nice views on the drive in. Nice and shady spots! Will come back for sure.

Wildhorse State Recreation Area
Very clean sites, I watched the camp host pull in right after someone left and make sure it was clean and the sand was raked for the next guest. Camp host stopped and talked with us, very friendly, ready to share his fishing tips. Clean bathrooms with sinks and the bathroom on the southern loop had showers! Water hydrants everywhere, with great tasting water. Easy pull through spots. Nice tables with shelter over it, fire ring, nice sandy camp area and trees planted to shade the each site. Popular campground, stayed full and people do like their generators which we did here a lot of. Good cell service with AT&T. No WiFi. Trash dumpster at the ranger station. Boat ramp with ample parking. Sanitary dumps with water if you need to refill your fresh tank or to use the spray in the black tank.

Big Bend
Peaceful
Big bend campground is a nice little oasis in the high desert. It was hunting season and the road was busy, campers all over in the campground (they were very friendly and quiet) and hunters camped in the area but it was still peaceful. Very scenic camp sites and cooler than the surrounding area. No camp host, talked to a few folks that frequent the campground and commented they have never seen a ranger there. 8 bucks self pay, very reasonable price. 2 bathrooms that need attention, had my own in the camper so I didn’t mind. Water hydrants throughout but not charged, no water available. Haul out your own trash and waste water. Remote so not cell service or WiFI. Great base camp to explore the surrounding public land. 11 miles of good dirt road to access it. A nice base camp to go visit Jarbidge, a must visit!
Shari G.LegendWild Horse State Recreation Area
No wild horses, but a great campground!
This Nevada State Recreation Area is in a beautiful very remote location, along the Wild Horse reservoir. There are two camping areas with about a dozen sites in each. Each site has a nice picnic table, rain / sunshade, and fire ring...and lots of sun for the solar panel. The bathroom facilities are the fanciest we've ever seen for $15 per night. Can you say, "Custom tiled shower?" Someone did a really nice job. And, the campground is kept emaculate.
Just below the campground is a boat ramp and parking lot and swimming beach area. The lake is great for boating, fishing and paddling. The winds we experienced would make it a great lake for sailing, and sailboarding. There are numerous hikes along forest roads in the area that will get you up into the mountains (and even up to an old gold mine), but not alot of "trail hikes." Mountain biking is a great option along these backroads.
The nearest town with services is Owyhee, gas and small grocery store, about 35 miles to the north. There was no cell service in the campground, but we found it on our hike up the mountain!

What to do:
- Fishing and Boating: The Cottonwood CJ Strike Reservoir is perfect for water sports. One reviewer mentioned, "This campground has its pros and cons... If you have a camp trailer, toy hauler or RV, this campground is definitely more designed for that type of crowd."
- Star Gazing: At Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy star gazing programs. A camper shared, "While the dunes at Bruneau make for some fun sledding, my favorite part is the star gazing program offered by the park staff during the summer."
- Hiking: The Big Bend Campground offers scenic drives and hiking opportunities. One visitor noted, "Campground was pretty clean and easily accessible. Nice views on the drive in."
What campers like:
- Peaceful Environment: Campers appreciate the tranquility at Big Bend. A review stated, "Big Bend campground is a nice little oasis in the high desert... it was still peaceful."
- Clean Facilities: Many enjoy the cleanliness of the campgrounds. A reviewer at Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground mentioned, "The bathhouse is immaculate. Great showers to wash off the sand from climbing the dunes."
- Wildlife Watching: Campers at Jacks Creek Campground love the wildlife. One camper said, "I woke up to pelicans on the water near my site. Definitely could’ve spent hours in peace just watching the wildlife."
What you should know:
- Road Conditions: Accessing Lye Creek Campground can be challenging. A camper warned, "The road is long... it is a dual track, soft center, raised crown with many embedded and loose rocks."

Tips for camping with families:
- Choose the Right Campground: For families, Bruneau Dunes State Park Campground is a great option. A reviewer said, "A lot of the sites have a shelter over the picnic table, and they are also spaced out more than the Eagle Cove loops."

- Bring Entertainment: If you're at a more remote spot like Cottonwood CJ Strike Reservoir, make sure to bring games or activities for the kids. A visitor noted, "If you come here with kids and you don’t have a boat, be prepared for a lot of 'I’m bored!'"

- Check Site Size: RV campers should check site sizes before booking. A review for Scout CJ Strike Reservoir mentioned, "Good fishing here. It is hot in the summer but there are numerous shade trees."
- Be Prepared for Heat: Campers at Cove at CJ Strike Reservoir noted the heat. One said, "Not much shade in the heat of the summer and the campsites are fairly close together."
- Bring Water: Many campgrounds, like Big Bend, do not have water hookups. A camper advised, "Haul out your own trash and waste water."
