Summary
Reservations are available and recommended, especially in summer; fees apply via Lyon County Parks. Campsites include picnic tables, fire rings/grills, and access to pit toilets and seasonal potable water. Some sites accommodate RVs (no hookups). The peaceful, shaded setting is ideal for families, with nearby hiking trails, a playground, and river access for fishing. Best visited late spring to early fall, the campground offers a quiet, nature-filled experience near Garvin Park’s prairie and woodland landscapes. Dispersed camping is not available here.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
