Water Canyon Campground

From entrance to the campground pin on Google there are several off road picnic table and campsites,some with gazebo. we found a spot 2 mins away from that pin. The view is good. And you can see deer family walking by. There's a littler river along the road. As a free dry campsite everything is good enough. We arrived on thr first Saturday night of Oct, not very crowded, even though we camped right next to the road, the noise from passing by vehicles are not a problem at all. The trail are well maintained. And also just 15 min drive away from Winemucca town. The public restroom doesn't have water, just a hole. Hope to have a manual water pump for wahsing hands or flushing out RV suich. No light at night time, better arrive and finish setting up before sunset. Strongly Recommended!

Loved this place! Peaceful, quiet, clean restrooms, bear proof trash receptacles. No water, electric or dump station so arrive with what you need. The hill up to the campground is sketchy. I have a Class C and I'm a relatively new full timer and I thought it was scary. Once you start up, there's no turning back and when I was about to leave, I started out of the campground and someone was pulling in with a truck and a pretty long trailer... I'd say like a 24'. If I had started down and he and I met...🤯😱 (Added photos...don't know where they went!)

Somewhat rocky road up to the campsite, but it is absolutely worth it. Sedans and large RVs were seen up there, so it’s very drivable. Beautiful area and clean vault toilets, just make sure to bring all of your own water. Sites are shady and feel secluded. Cannot recommend it enough. We had extremely patchy Verizon reception, so just know that before going.

Awesome campground. A decent amount of spots, not too busy. Amazing views, bunch of hiking trails, and a great drive up the mountain to check out the observatory and views. A lot of wildlife in this small mountain range. Awesome spot.

Dates of stay: 15-17 May 19. Did not stay in the actual campground. I stayed in parking lot adjacent to Mesa Trail #13 Trailhead which is less than 1/2 mile from campground (just stay on Water Canyon Road). The lot is before all the signs telling you steep/narrow road for next 7 miles. Numerous sites were available in the campground. Very nice area. A lot of trails to explore. Cell phone service (Verizon) essentially non-existent at about 3 miles up Water Canyon Road from Highway 60. Bring enough water for your personal use and to drown your campfire. Unfortunate number of cans, bottles, trash left behind by previous campers in the parking lot area, but I suppose you will always have those type of idiots.
