About River Campground
River Campground offers a serene desert oasis along the Humboldt River, where campers can enjoy spacious sites, excellent fishing, and unobstructed stargazing beneath the vast Nevada sky. This well-maintained campground provides a perfect blend of natural beauty and essential amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding high desert landscape.
Situated below Rye Patch Dam, the campground benefits from a sheltered location that mitigates wind and highway noise, creating a peaceful atmosphere for visitors. The 22 campsites are thoughtfully laid out among willow trees, offering a good balance of shade and privacy. Clean facilities, including flush toilets and hot showers, enhance the camping experience.
Located 22 miles northeast of Lovelock, River Campground serves as an excellent stopover for travelers on I-80 or a destination for those seeking to enjoy Rye Patch State Recreation Area. The adjacent reservoir provides ample opportunities for fishing, boating, and swimming, while hiking trails showcase the area's diverse wildlife, including deer, rabbits, and various bird species.
