Kershaw-Ryan State Park
Tall canyon walls hide a lush desert oasis at Kershaw-Ryan, an an ideal base camp.
Located just outside the town of Caliente in southeast Nevada, Kershaw-Ryan State Park is a lush oasis that stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding desert landscape. One of the first four state parks established in Nevada, the park is home to CCC-built campsites, picnic tables, restrooms, and a wading pool, along with volleyball, horseshoe pits, and a children’s play area. Natural springs feed an abundance of trees and wild grape vines that climb up the 700-foot canyon walls. Hiking and mountain biking trails lead to scenic overlooks and views of Rainbow Canyon, which offers rock climbing. One campground is available and offers sites for tent and RV camping (with partial hookups).

Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation
When to Go
The park is open year-round. Summers can be hot and afternoon thunderstorms are a regular occurrence during the monsoon season of July and August, and can cause flash floods. Plan hikes for the morning or evening. Hikers should also look out for rattlesnakes over the summer. Winters can be cold, and snow is possible in December and January, which could impact road and other access.
