Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park Campground Nevada

Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park Overview

Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park Campground has 14 well-spaced campsites near ghosts and dinosaurs in a remote high-desert area of central Nevada. The preserved ghost town of Berlin (1890s) is about 1.5 miles away and you can also see the largest known remains of Ichthyosaurs, an ancient marine reptile that swam in a warm ocean that covered central Nevada 225 million years ago.

The campground is open year-round. Campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs (up to 25 feet). Each site also has a covered table, fire ring and BBQ. Campground amenities include drinking water (mid-April through October), flush toilets, trash collection and a dump station. A picnic / day use area is also over by the Fossil House. Cell service is not available in the area.

Area Recreation & Activities

Outdoor recreation includes touring the ghost town, checking out the dinosaur remains over at the Fossil House, hiking, mountain biking, ATV trail riding, stargazing, picnicking and wildlife viewing.

The American Discovery Trail (6,800+ miles, including 500 miles in Nevada) also has a trailhead from the park.
