Campground Overview
About Bighorn Campground
What sets Bighorn Campground apart is its rugged remoteness, intimate connection with pristine wilderness, and serene location along the East Walker River in Nevada's Walker River State Recreation Area. This primitive campground offers a true escape for those seeking solitude, access to diverse wildlife, and excellent fishing opportunities.
Bighorn Campground features a collection of first-come, first-served campsites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, accompanied by nearby vault toilets. The absence of water hookups or other modern amenities emphasizes its minimalist appeal, ideal for campers who value simplicity and natural immersion. The East Walker River, running adjacent to the campground, provides tranquility, scenic beauty, and a rich habitat for anglers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Located near Sweetwater Road, approximately 30 minutes south of Yerington, Nevada, the campground is a gateway to exploring the historic and scenic Walker River region. Campers can enjoy hiking, fishing, and seasonal wildlife viewing, with the surrounding hills and open terrain adding to the sense of unspoiled beauty.
