Fort Churchill

I had a wonderful time walking through history during the day and also enjoyed an entertaining and informative candle light walk through the ruins of Fort Churchill. I highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic piece of history located along the Carson River south of Silver Springs. The visitors center was recently reopened after a multi-year renovation. The attached photos & videos are from the reopening ceremony in October 2025. Also an excellent campground with shade, pit toilets, running water, tables, fire pits, and level sites.

I'd say this place is more for rv folks then tent campers. Only a few spots are private. Most are really close to each other. We went in August and hardly any water in the Carson river. Vault toilets that need to be emptied. Lots of flies almost, like a lot. They do have a good price on firewood. 20 a day for non nevada residents. With all the other camping places we wouldn't return .

Great place to walk around and learn some cool history. There's a very nice shaded picnic area and a really nice campground. We used the picnic area and plan to stay at the campground sometime. Recommend checking it out.

A wonderful place to visit. There's a dry camping area, picnicking area, a nature trail along the Carson River to Buckland Station, as well as the trail around the Fort ruins. They are working on the museum at the moment and adding seating along the ruins trail. Other work is being done to make it even better than it already is. I love seeing our $$ being used for what it was intended for.
