Campgrounds in Eureka, Nevada

Eureka was once a bustling center of activity during the silver rush in this area. A silver strike in 1864 started the rush, but it turned out that the most abundant resource in Eureka was lead. As mining became less and less of an industry in Eureka, the town transitioned from a hub of excitement with an ever-growing population to a town of around 1,500 citizens and the best preserved mining town in the Western United States. People visiting here who wish to camp may find it difficult to find accommodations, but there are some options.
