Fishing Four major trophy trout rivers loaded with Rainbows and German Browns within 5-25 minutes of the kampground.

Shopping From antiques to candy, along with operating gold mines and two old time Follies Theaters, they can all be found in Virginia City and Nevada City.

Rock Hunting Semiprecious stones--garnets, agates, sapphires and rubies--can be found on our grounds or within a short distance.

Gold Panning In gold panning, a mixture of creek or river sand and gravel is swirled with water in a gold pan until the sand and gravel have washed out and only the heavier gold is left, usually with the heavy, black magnetite that always accompanies placer gold. Drive seven miles to Ruby Reservoir or nine miles to Virginia City to try your luck at panning.

Virginia City and Nevada City These sister towns, only a mile apart, were once booming mining towns. Both have been restored and are much as they were more than a hundred years ago. Stroll the boardwalks and visit the historic buildings and exhibits. Take in a melodrama at the old Opera House, listen to player pianos and nickelodeons, and visit the graves of the Plummer Gang on Boot Hill.
