Nice place for camping. With toilet and potable water and shades in every campsite. Fishing is good too.

This park was a wonderful place to stay and explore! We really enjoyed the designated camping areas, which have clean bathrooms and fresh water (not during winter). Each campground has its own parking spot and flat areas for pitching tents with tables, fire pits, and grills. We normally camp in dispersed sites so it was nice to have the amenities. Firewood is often available for a small donation. The Waterfall Trail was a fun and quick hike and we enjoyed the drive through the park. We camped in mid-November and we were the only ones in the park that weekend.

This state park is very, very far off the beaten path with very few visitors. From the main highway, it takes almost an hour of driving a dirt road to get there. Once you get there the park offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, a small creek, and plenty of campsites, and pit toilets. There is no power, so if you need it, you need to bring it. Finally, there is no cell phone reception in the park. It's very remote. But, if you like being away from it all, this park may appeal to you. 🤠

A super secluded state park near the Utah border. Lots of dirt roads - I’d recommend a high clearance vehicle. Open range so watch for cows and horses.

Super quiet and great night skies

These campsites are a real "pack it in, pack it out" place. It is 28 miles down a dirt road. It is 1 step above disbursed camping and not for the dirt squeamish. The soil is volcanic dust that gets everywhere. Campsite A has 10 sites for RVs campsite B has 20+ tent sites. Each with a picnic table/Ramona and fire pit. A water pump is available in warm months. There is no trash pick up or trash cans anywhere. While there is a pit toilet there isn't a sink or trash can. Campsites A and B have 1 handicapped site. These sites are worth a visit as we enjoyed the streams with trout, the hiking, and evenings by the fire.

Great quiet state park. Well maintained, out of the way location is fantastic for a quiet getaway. The only drawback is the 30 miles of dirt road that could be maintained better.

The 28 mile dirt road to get here is very graded and in fine enough condition for passenger cars. On spring break/Easter weekend when nearby state parks were full there were only two other sites being used the first night of our stay and nobody the next. Very peaceful! Water was on at entrance and firewood available for a donation. Hiked the Beaver wash trail. Only complaint was the trail was non-existent from campground til where it runs into Oak Knoll trail. Suddenly from there on the trail was quite wide like it'd been cleared by a mini tractor although I couldn't tell how it would've crossed the stream so many times... The old "walk in" campground is now an OHV campground and apparently the trail is an OHV trail down at this wider area too. Didn't encounter anyone and there are two spots where rockslides have made the trail highly questionable I'd think for such vehicles anyways. Overall, excellent experience! Update July 2020 - Returned to backpack and camp at the "walk in" campground. Trail starting out at Campground A is in worse condition than last year to the point where you wouldn't know where to go once across the stream. We did so pushed on scrambling over rocks and downed trees. The large open clearing where I believe the old dam was is now inhabited by a herd of cattle! Kinda cool except for the literally thousands of cow pies all over the place that you have to step around. They appear however to be the only ones creating or maintaining any semblance of a trail so...thank you cows? At the convergence with Oak Knoll was blown away to run into 2 guys in state park shirts in an ATV coming up from the bottom of the trail but was pleased to see although I noted they went up Oak Knoll as if the rest of the trail has been completely abandoned... Anyways, as stated before it's pretty easy going from there to the walk in campground although was disappointed to see it in such disrepair. All except one fire pit had tall dry grass all around them which would make a campfire extremely dangerous. The restroom, while doors open, hadn't been cleaned at all. Spiderwebs all over and seats covered in dust/dirt. I had my daughter with me though so made a broom out of some branches and that grass and cleaned out the women's side and hauled water from the pump (yeah there's a working well pump) to clean off the seat. It was at this point that a bee flew buy my head which made me turn around to find a yellow-jacket nest up on the wall. Are you kidding me!? Sorry, but what were those guys on that ATV doing??? Obviously not attending to this campground. Cursing I went over to the men's side but this time looked up to find another yellow-jacket nest there! I ended up actually knocking the nest off the wall in the women's room and running like hell. Unfortunately even without their nest the yellowjackets continued to congregate in the bathroom so we couldn't use them. The water from the pump isn't drinkable although it sure did smell and look clean, but it's super cold and feels good. I would like a sign though that clarifies if it's safe to drink after boiling or purification tablets. Sure would've loved to drop some tablets in and drink that icy water in the midst of the summer heat. Oh and yes, gets pretty chilly at night but heats up really fast in the morning.

Nice secluded park that has great scenery and plenty of camping spots. It wasn't crowded when we visited. Make sure to have cash to pay for entry, bring plenty of water, and your hiking boots! I will definitely be looking forward to camping in the near future!

Was so happy to make it out to Beaver Dam State Park last weekend. Definitely one of the most remote in the state! Both from the Utah and the Nevada side, you must drive long, but very well maintained, dirt roads just to get to the park. I'd recommend getting in on the Utah side if you're driving up from Las Vegas, St. George is a nice halfway point. Then once in the park, the roads get WAY ROUGHER. My Kia Sportage did it, but if the roads had been even just a tiny bit more washed out, we would have been stuck. We did not use the longest trail, as hiking through a wash didn't really seem like a worthwhile payout, but we did the interpretive trail, oak knoll, and the beaver dam trail. All were very well maintained (way better than some of the far less remote state parks like Big Bend and Dayton, where trail maintenance is often sorely lacking.) Really enjoyed the day trip. We did not use the camping facilities, but they looked like standard NV State Park facilities.
