Beaver Dam State Park Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

A 28-mile dirt road winds through Nevada's high desert to reach Beaver Dam State Park Campground, where campers find level sites with fire rings, picnic tables, and water access. The remote location means no cell service and potential road challenges during wet conditions, as mud can make the access route impassable. Clean pit toilets and a horseshoe pit serve the campground's handful of sites.

Michael W. noted the sites appeared "very usable, relatively flat and clean" during his visit, when his group was the only campers present. Some sites sit directly on the water, though these fill on a first-come, first-serve basis. The park offers hiking trails, including one to a waterfall that may require four-wheel drive for the return trip. For those planning regional exploration, campgrounds near Enterprise provide additional options about 19 miles east. Check road conditions before departing, especially during spring months.

Visitors often highlighted the well-maintained sites and clean facilities, though access requires navigating 28 miles of dirt road that can become impassable when muddy. Several reviews noted excellent hiking opportunities and waterfront camping spots available first-come, first-served.

Call the park service before you go

The road into the park can get very muddy. My family and I got stuck on the road and had to camp on the side of the road. There is no cell service. It is not a well traveled road but a park ranger did come by the next day and he was extremely nice. He suggested that when the road dried to move into the park. We decided if we could get our vehicle moving we would get out. Thankfully the mud started to dry up and we were able to get turned around and made it out, obviously. The area is beautiful but I couldn't tell you about the actual park as we never made it in and my family is not interested in another attempt.

Getting away from the crowds

Slow driving 28 miles of dirt road lead you to some very nice camp sites.  All the sites looked very usable, relatively flat and clean.  Fire rings, tables and water.  Clean pit toilets.  A couple of nice hikes.  We were glad we had 4x4 to get back from the waterfall hike.  Horseshoe pit was a nice surprise.  We were literally the only people for the night.

enjoyable experience

This was a family favorite site... we were right on the water :) I think the sites are only available first come, first serve so getting there early is helpful when picking the best sites. We enjoyed the few hikes we checked out at the park as well. Very nice place!
