Camping in Nevada

Whether backpacking in the Ruby Mountains or stargazing in Great Basin National Park, campers love camping in Nevada (The Silver State). With 4.1 million hectares of parkland, two national parks, and 25 state parks, campers can explore forests, valleys, mountains, desert plateaus, and the Great Basin. If you tire of biking, rock climbing, and kayaking, you can visit a ghost town, check out old mines, or see indigenous petroglyphs.
