Spring Valley State Park — Attraction in Pioche

There are so many sights to see within this State Park. If you can, you should stay a few days or longer at one of the campgrounds here. Horsethief Gulch campground is near the lake and works well for those with small watercraft or kids who enjoy fishing. Ranch campground is 2 miles up the road, near the Ranger station.

The bath houses are cleaned frequently and the sites are in good repair. The only issue I have is you shouldn't swim in the water, it's too slimy. We saw herons, deer, ducks...
