Reno: The next place in the same area is Davis Creek Park. From Reno you drive south on Hwy 395 about 20 miles to the Old 395 turn off, turn right and go about 1/2 mile to the park entrance on the right. There is a parking lot for horse trailers that is a pull through. There are two corrals, but no overnight camping in the parking lot , you would have to camp in the park camping area. There is a fee for overnight camping in the park, but I don't know how much. The parking area is free. The horse trail is well marked and offers access to the High Sierra's via the Ophir creek trail. Elevation gain is from 5,000 to 9,000 feet. The trails are rough and rocky , but offer spectacular views.

Located 1 mile north of Historic Virginia City in the Comstock is a beautiful guest ranch with great accommodations for people and horses. While there are no horse rentals at this time, you are welcome to BYOH and ride the Comstock. It is a short ride to downtown Virginia City, Graveyards, and hundreds of miles of trails that take you back in time.
The proprietor’s Peter and Judee Sorenson are extra friendly and will cook you a meal to die for, breakfast above the barn or dinner on the patio in the serene 7 Mile Canyon.
Horse accommodations are excellent and there are several bunkhouses to suit individual needs, all of which are very nice and have kitchens. For couples our favorite is the Carriage house. For the family try the Longhorn as it has bunk beds for the kids. We occasionally ride there from our home in Dayton or up Jumbo Grade from Washoe State Park, spend the night and then ride home.
See their website or contact them at (775)847-7223 for a summer concert and special events schedule. Another great place for the kids as they have a miniature horse, pot belly pig, and numerous other animals. This is one of our favorite places!

Take hwy 844 45 minutes east of Gabbs, Nevada and follow the signs for approximately 7 miles of good dirt road. Ione Nevada is a mining town known as the "town that wouldn’t die".
While there is no official Horse campground they do allow you to camp in the meadow at the south end of town and at times have had pipe corrals set up for visitors.
There are many trails, canyons and unused mining roads in the mountains that surround it.
There is even a trail that goes to a cool old mining camp from the 1800’s. The town only has about 20 structures and you can access the trails in a matter of minutes from "downtown".

In addition they have hookups for non-horsie RV’s. The town itself runs on a generator 24/7 and consists primarily of a bar/general store with a beautiful little kids park called the Little Miner’s Claim directly across the dirt street. It is located just 7 miles north of the Berlin-Icthyosaur State Park which is a small version of Bodie and a fossil site as well. The state park does not allow horses, but is well worth a visit. Trails abound and you are free to do as you wish in the wide open spaces of Nevada. If you look hard you will find multiple old mining camps in the area. We take our kids there regularly and have always been treated well. Ione is featured on a variety of ghost town Websites, but does not have one of their own. For information contact the Orehouse Saloon (775)964-2003 or email us for pictures.

There is NO horse-camp per se, one area has some pens set up with barbed wire and no water available. Set up camp anywhere you like, plenty of options with lots of room.

We watered the horses through-out the ride at various locations at the lake (plenty of motorized watersports going on with the associated noise, so need a well-broke horse to water at the lake or stay to the west side of the lake where it's quieter). Otherwise you can haul water from any of the outlets at the bathrooms to your camp, make sure to bring enough buckets for this.

Excellent riding, anywhere you like, on trails/dirt roads or anywhere off-road, all sandy and flat, no rocks.
Plenty of bird viewing. Windy in the afternoons.

From Reno: I-80 East, exit first Fernley exit, right at off-ramp, follow road past the WigWam, turn right onto Alt95 towards Yerington, into Silver Springs, left on Fir (sign directing you to Lake Lahontan) and follow signs into the park.
As of 06/07 $10/night to overnight w/o boat. Horses are no extra charge.

There are 2 horse campgrounds at Lake Lahontan.
One is located near the ranger station at beach 7 and has permanent corrals and adjacent dry camping with state park toilets within an easy walk, althogh there is alot of regular beach traffic there you can keep your horses and explore the park. The other is called "boyscout camp" and is located just outside of the park on the Carson River.
This camp features 4 permanent corrals and state park toilet.
It is located south of Silver Springs on Hwy 95, just as you pass over the Carson River turn left on the dirt road and it is less than a mile on the left. While this camp is often occupied on summer weekends, it offers excellent soft trail riding down the Carson River to Lake Lahonton State Park, and is on the annual Pony Epress reinactment ride path.
