The Best Camping Near Silver Springs, Nevada

not close to amenities and no hookups- bring water 

nice local place- water is high Beach 26 is a dream for all rec- Rpod fits great

Be careful!!! Almost got stuck in the sand while trying to find a spot level enough to park. Many people had dug out around their trailer to get the slides out. Several people used construction generators to power their rigs. Stayed for a weekend. Had a hard time leaving the trailer due to sand in the wind flying at high rates of speed. No hook ups, they do have a dump station and community water faucets. Vault toilets in many locations, no designated camping spaces. Just find a spot where you fit. 

Sand and wind

Great place for friends and family to meet. Much nicer with a higher water level.

Roughing it in nature

The view is Beautiful. Restrooms available.


Beautiful Lake

We camped 2021 at beach 7 and it wasn’t to bad we were in a tent but the water was low in lake just Carson river running to dam. This year 2022 we are going back hopefully better water in lake🥹and we are going in our trailer so hopefully be better trip this year 😎😁🚍⛺️

Camping again

Midweek and mid September- plenty of sites even in the non primitive campsites. Beautiful view- very quiet; clean bathrooms.

will definitely revisit if we go by here again.

Beautiful lakeside stop

Clean relaxing  fishing boating swimming  stores close bring own firewood 

I enjoyed this spot though beware, you can get stuck in the sand. Many spots may be difficult to maneuver with a larger rig. I did get stuck and luckily someone left a car mat in the sand that they used to get out. 
It did get windy at the night I was there but calmed down by 10PM. My only annoyance was the poopy smell coming off the water. Not great, but lovely view. 

My own little nook

Not a bad place, but probably not worth paying for if you are just looking for a quick overnight camp.  As mentioned, some of the roads can be aware bit rough and pitted, with random sand washes throughout.  It is probably very lively here in the summer and weekends, but during the week in October there was hardly anyone here.
