"Nice little campground located in the Cathedral Gorge State Park in Eastern central Nevada. Sites are first come first serve. Each has Electrical hook ups, but no sewer/dump facilities."
"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!!"
"Around noon, the sun exposes the west side of the shade structure. So, remember to move your coolers as the sun moves throughout the day. This site is located at the very end of the entire loop."
"The water at the lake was low and no fires due to the lack of rain in months. There were a lot of families fishing."
"Looks as though it’s an old highway.
Great Hiking
There are a lot of animal remains in a ditch and a really neat dry creek to look for rocks and such."
"They have water, trash and deers always running around here.
And up the street if you want full hook ups they have that further up the town but for free and basic is what you get here."
"Whipple cave is located 3 hours from Las Vegas, heading north."
"This Resort has cabins to rent, RV spaces available, a laundry room, pet friendly, a bar with pool tables, a store with everything you need in case you forgot it....."
$15 - $25 / night
"The short overlook trail is absolutely stunning. Our trip was in Fall so the colors were amazing. We camped for only one night but had a good visit and plan to return since this is a very nice place."
"The sites are a little close to each other but not too close. Our site was an end site so we had plenty of private space. We had electric and water hookups. All worked well. "
"We saw wild horses and jackrabbits on the road to the campsite (off the highway). There was one or two fire pits and lots of rooms. We were there Friday night and had the place to ourselves."
LegendTwo things I love being a Nevada girl is shade for them hot days and a spotless RV site. Gravel roads and brand new bathroom that looks super new and kept up. They have small houses in case you plan to stay, full hook ups, free WiFi, pet friendly, lots of things to do nearby and laundry.

LegendOk, I gave this campsite 4 stars only because it's worth another 20 minutes to get up to the horse thief gulch campground…
anyway, it's so sad to see the water level so low… awww this poor lake breaks my heart.
partial hookups and hot showers
ADA accessible
no one was on the water but I did see a guy who said he was able to catch dinner…. it's super muddy so be prepared to bring a change of clothes.
Bathrooms are clean and well maintained.
quite a bit of a walk for you to get to the lake but heyyyy what else do you have to do??
Pretty views and sunrises.
You're about 30 minutes to Pioche if you forgot anything or want to wake up to and eat a hot breakfast.
Gravel roads and great sized campsites. EVERY spot is great!
RangerStayed here in July for a family trip. Rented a small cabin for my mom and adult sons and an RV space for myself and husband. The cabin was surprisingly clean and well maintained. The rest of the park, not so much. Most of the spaces were filled by permanent residents in mostly run down trailers and spaces full of trash and other “stuff”. Dogs and cats were wandering with no leashes. The spaces were small and overgrown with weeds. The picnic tables were falling apart, warped with peeling paint. The bathroom’s were clean but the fixtures were old and mismatched. The store seemed well stocked and actually affordable. The bar was dingy but had a lot of character. The park was for sale so I assume they weren’t interested in maintenance. I’m glad we only paid $25 for the site with the Passport America membership but the $90 for the cabin seemed like a lot. It did allow us to all be together so that bumped up the stars.

This Resort has cabins to rent, RV spaces available, a laundry room, pet friendly, a bar with pool tables, a store with everything you need in case you forgot it.....

LegendRanger Review: GCI Outdoor Comfort Cushion at Echo Canyon State Park, NV
CAMPGROUND REVIEW
Echo Canyon State Park, 12 miles east of Pioche, NV. There are two campgrounds: Sites 1-20, on a hill southwest of the reservoir, are for RVs with full hook-ups, restrooms, showers & dump. There are 33 more sites on a hill just north of the reservoir, with restrooms & dump. All sites are first come first serve. Campsites are very well designed and thoughtful with large roofed shade structures over sturdy picnic tables, fire rings, BBQ grills, and water at every site! Beautiful landscape, easy access to the Ash Canyon hiking trail loop, and a 65-acre reservoir for kayaking & fishing. Very peaceful and quiet!

PRODUCT REVIEW
As a ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time. While camping at Echo Canyon State Park, we tested the GCI Outdoor Comfort Cushion.
https://www.gcioutdoor.com/stadium-chairs/comfort-cushion/
GCI Comfort Cushions are light-weight, thickly padded, and with a zipped cover. Inside, the padding consists of dense foam and a lighter foam. These cushions are nothing less than wonderful! No more sore sitz bones when sitting at the picnic table (or any place you need extra padding/comfort)! I comfortably sat for 4 hours while we are here, working on a project that required sitting at the table top. It was a delight to be outside for so long and be comfortable! We highly recommend the GCI Comfort Cushions, 5 stars!!
Here we are using the cushions at the campground:

In summary, we loved camping at Echo Canyon State Park (4 days, 3 nights) and adding these great cushions to our camping gear made our stay extra fun & comfy!
LegendNot much to this little RV park, Pull-in, find your spot, and pay.
They have pull-through sites, tables, full hookups, and really decent prices for daily and weekly rates. (Weekly is only 90.00)
Bring quarters... if you need to do laundry, it's a small room but well kept.
Look forward to seeing deers running through the streets and hunters always found at the diner... by the way the diner has decent food that is hot on a cold morning or evening.
It gets cold in Pioche so make sure you dress accordingly if your coming during the winter months.
And bring a hat during the summer times.
All in all an affordable place if your driving through and need to pull over and rest.
Here are my star ratings based on my lifestyle and based on what I like.
I'm also a mother, dog mama, and a wife so it's not just me it's my crew and i.
1 star- AUTOMATIC relocate… the property is no longer there, trashed or/and I could never have my children there and I wouldn't ever think about staying no matter what OR it is not something our campers are on this is more of an Airbnb.
2 star- Not really my jam, and would NEVER go to again… It probably more of desert life and not really my style for sure…Being from Vegas I can't stand being in the desert and I love the Trees and the Green more than anything. Not to mention not much to do for my children so…. not where i would need to go again
3 star- Would stay there again in a pinch, but not really my style, the reason its not is because not enough family things to do, the scenery, or the location… but I would go again and feel safe having my kiddos here but only if I needed to in a pinch.
4 star- a really good rating for sure, maybe needed some improvements, minor things like being on top of each other, not a lot of privacy, but honestly little cosmetic things that aren't anything to sweat and would be back again for sure.
5 star- MY FAVORITE… love the location, safety, the surroundings, big camp spots available to fit toys for my kids to play, hammocks to hang, our big family tent, cases of firewood, our suburban or RV, etcccccc….. I would not only come back but would live if I could!!! Anyway thanks for reading and enjoy every moment like it's your last!
CHEERS!
GuideI happened upon this campground by accident and so happy about it. There is a sign warning that the grounds are not suitable for RV or trailers so it's perfect for tent campers wanting to get away from that. The campground is set just off the highway leading to Spring Valley State Park. It is a small campground but is surrounded by untouched natural beauty. All of the sites have picnic tables (not covered), fire pits and grills for cooking. The sites are pretty good sized and set far enough away from each other to give plenty of privacy. There are tent pads at some sites but all sites seemed level and spacious. There's easy access to the bathrooms. Bring in your water as there is no access.
GuideNice little campground located in the Cathedral Gorge State Park in Eastern central Nevada. Sites are first come first serve. Each has Electrical hook ups, but no sewer/dump facilities. Bathrooms have running water and a shower which is very nice. The hiking trails are great and provide lots of exploring on the Cathedral Gorge.
