April is not the most scenic month to view the wide variety of plants in this park, but it's still a nice, clean and quiet place to stay. The staff had not yet planted 500 flowers grown in the onsite greenhouse so there is much to see in other months. The staff was very friendly and helpful with sightseeing destinations and there was someone working on the park nearly continuously. The sites were not real level and were "wash boardy", but that won't preclude me from staying here again for another eleven days. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a fantastic Nevada State Park! Eastern Nevada is unique and full of surprises, this park is one of them. This is probably the nicest and most meticulously maintained State Park we have ever found. The facilities are incredible and the campground is kept absolutely spotless clean by one of the most dedicated and friendly hosts we have ever met. The bathrooms and sites are probably the best you will ever find. The host shared his local knowledge with us and guided us to the Delamar ghost town, without a doubt, one of the high points of our trip. (you do need four wheel drive for that trip though) The town of Caliente is also a neat and clean little mining town with lots of history. Don't miss the incredible hiking trails and the really neat park just a short distance above the campground. Incredible scenery and magnificent high desert ambiance. We can't wait to return to this area next winter. There are three other really nice State Parks in this area too. Kershaw-Ryan and Cathedral Gorge can easily handle big rigs. Spring Valley and Echo Canyon Parks are a little more snug and may present a challenge for a rig more than 32 feet in length, but well worth a day trip to see them. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Beautiful CG, approximately two miles out of Caliente off of SR 317, with exceptionally deep and level gravel sites. The State Park is the home of the former Kershaw Gardens which includes; wild grape, roses, and a number of other flowering plants -- neat to see that foliage in the middle of the Nevada desert. Generators are allowed between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm. Water spigots are interspersed through the CG and a dump Station. The day use area, about a mile from the CG, includes; the gardens, start of the trails, picnic area and a wading pond. This Park is a MUST SEE! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice open spaces, easy pull-through access, clean, nice restrooms/showers, friendly staff, growing trees, near to main road. Would recommend this park highly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First the good. Clean park with level sites and plenty of pull-throughs. The staff seemed friendly on the phone but we never met any of them face-to-face. The park was quiet at night although I did hear a couple trains. The park was much noisier in the morning as there was construction going on when we stayed. The restroom was clean albeit a bit cramped. The bad? Although it says 50 amp hookups, the space we pulled into very late at night only had 30 amp and we did not want to try to locate a possible 50 amp spot and disturb the neighbors. If arriving at night the sign is NOT lit up. Although we were told you can't miss it when driving north on 93, we did in fact miss the park and had to double back. If you hit the main drag in Caliente when driving north you have gone too far! Overall a nice park and we would stay here again, especially now that we know how to find it!
