Last visit: October, 2011
From Mark: Mark RV camped at Kershaw-Ryan State Park last October. He found the campground on the internet.
Campground Review and Description
Description:
I stopped here for one night on a trip between Price, Arizona (Lake Powell) and Reno. The campground is only a couple of years old and there is a well-developed day use area a half-mile up the canyon.
The area has beautiful scenery and the day use has gardens, fountains, play area, wading pool, covered picnic tables and some hiking trails. There are no hookups but the bathrooms and showers are spotless. Showers are 25 cents for 4 minutes. Water spigots are generously dispersed throughout the campground. A camp host is on site as is the resident ranger. I highly recommended Kershaw-Ryan State Park Campground for a night or two.
Pros, Cons, Attractions and Additional Comments
Pros: Sparkling clean restrooms and showers
Cons: No hookups.
Attractions: About half way between Lake Powell and Reno.

From Kershaw-Ryan State Park: Kershaw-Ryan State Park is situated in a colorful, scenic canyon at the northern end of Rainbow Canyon in eastern Nevada. Steep canyon walls tower to 700 feet and overlook a long, narrow valley. Early settlers in the area cultivated a garden of grape vines, fruit trees and a grass lawn surrounding a spring-fed pond, providing a beautiful contrast to the rugged landscape.
A picnic area, children’s wading pool, playground, group-use area and trails offer visitors nature study, photography, picnicking and hiking. The park has a new 15-unit RV/tent campground. Kershaw-Ryan State Park is located two miles south of Caliente via U.S. 93 and State Route 317.
