we got there late and thought we were going to miss the morning tour but the person working the camp opened another tour for us and a couple of other groups that had shown up. we got to see the ichthyosaur fossils and ask questions. there is even more to see of the ghost town for the Berlin mine. Will definitely be returning again in the future.

Lots of interesting artifacts in the Ghost town. You can see the dinosaur bones even if the building is closed. The campground is surprisingly busy.

What a treat. We made it there is time for one of the 2 shlwo gs a day to see the fossils. They were amazing and well worth the detour. We have a small class C RV that we went out to the park with. It's pretty rough road for that. But most vehicles should make it. The Berlin ghost town is so well preserved. It is open for exploration and will be as long as visitors continue to respect the area.

With a 2 hour drive from Reno, it's something in the middle of nowhere. The fossils are difficult to see. The displays are ok. The ghost town is way more interesting. Be prepared to get some rain!

A. Rugged scenic wonderland! Brought my family and some friends joined us. Our kids had one of the best times camping ever! We hit it during spring, which is one of the ideal times. I'd consider going back in the fall as well. No showers, vaulted toilets but nice campgrounds. We stayed at the group campsite which was spectacular.
