Campground Overview: Samuel Bucklands Campground at Fort Churchill State Park | Nevada

Experience the charm of the Old West at Fort Churchill State Park. Camp by the Carson River, explore historic ruins, and hike scenic trails. Immerse yourself in history and natural beauty in a unique camping getaway.
The Fort Churchill State Park Campground is a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque landscape of western Nevada. Situated along the banks of the serene Carson River, this campground offers an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Old West and explore a rich historical past.
The centerpiece of the park is the historic Fort Churchill, a 19th-century military fort that played a vital role in Nevada's history. The well-preserved adobe ruins and exhibits within the park provide a glimpse into the frontier days when it served as a supply depot and protection for early settlers. Camping here is like stepping back in time, with the echoes of history all around you.
The campground itself is well-equipped, with well-shaded campsites providing a comfortable and rustic experience. Campers can enjoy the soothing sounds of the Carson River, which is ideal for fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching. The park also offers numerous hiking and equestrian trails, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
Stargazing is another highlight, as the park's remote location away from city lights offers fantastic opportunities for observing the night sky. Whether you're seeking a peaceful, historically rich camping experience, outdoor adventure, or a bit of both, Fort Churchill State Park Campground provides an unforgettable retreat into Nevada's storied past and the natural beauty of the Carson River Valley.

There's something about those trees man. Magical.

[@CactusAtlas]

Agree! Coming from the desert here in AZ, any tree is pretty magical. 😅 But it's a great campground.

[@DanFalandys-lt9mw]

Another thank you to Amy for keeping the background music very subtle 👍 I prefer to listen to narration while enjoying the visuals 😊

[@CactusAtlas]

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@MrWolfman104]

Thank you for this video! Heading there with my son next month for two nights in our tent. This video gave us a great feel for the campground.

[@CactusAtlas]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful! Have a great time on your trip! 😄👍

[@SwiftyTravels]

That tree booth is SO cool!!! Man, the kids would love that! These campground videos are so helpful!!

[@CactusAtlas]

It's neat, right? Just happened to form the perfect shape for a booth. 😄

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

Cool to see you visiting some of the lesser known/visited Nevada State Parks.

[@CactusAtlas]

We LOVE the lesser known parts in any area and giving them attention. Some of the best places are still just state parks and sadly overlooked. 😊

[@Raptor-gd6sk]

Thanks for these very valuable campgrounds videos. They are so helpful for people like me that loves to camp..

[@CactusAtlas]

Anytime! It's our pleasure. We couldn't find info we were seeking about certain campgrounds so that's why we started making them and luckily... still enjoy making them. 😊

[@DeborahFlorian-gy6lw]

Very nice setup in your new spacious tent. Really like the rug, very comfy and homey! ✨☺️🌟

[@CactusAtlas]

It's about as comfy as a tent can get. 😅

[@RangelandRebel15]

Looks like a pretty cool place to set up camp, relax and enjoy those awesome views!

[@CactusAtlas]

It definitely is! 😊

[@shazart1111]

😂Top of the morning to you too Glenn 🍀...lush greenery for sure in that camp site and beautiful vistas. 🌞 hi Amy🙋...Thank you guys for the tour. Love always 💖✨🍀

[@CactusAtlas]

Indeed. The trees were quite welcome and nice to camp under. 😊

[@richards7977]

Great Video!! Counting down the days until we are back out that way.

[@CactusAtlas]

Awesome! Have fun! 😄

[@votrolacres8526]

Thanks for the video and the campground review. As a tent camper it’s nice to see the options in advance. 🇨🇦

[@CactusAtlas]

Our pleasure! We know exactly how you feel. 😊

[@DeborahFlorian-gy6lw]

That cottonwood tree is massive (if that's what it is)! A beautiful and well laid out campground. But i would have trouble with the generators humming along, and my guess is the wildlife feels the same way. Hard to escape the sound of humanity! But again a beautiful campground.

[@CactusAtlas]

Generators always kinda kill it in terms of quiet, but what can you do? 😅🤷‍♀️

[@gstiles7]

Thanks for the campsite tour, great stuff even if you're not a camper! I'm not as ADD as you to have to complete everything, but thanks for finishing the adobe structures!!

[@CactusAtlas]

Very true! It's not an exceptionally large park so it's not hard to see all the structures so we made the rounds. 😄
