When Dayton was fi...rst settled in the 1840s, of course Dayton RV Park was not anywhere in the plans. However, over 160 years later in 2007, it became part of Old Town Dayton that you can still explore today.The Carson and Colorado Railroad was incorporated in May, 1880 to service the growing Mining Companies of the west Central Nevada and nearby California. Work began on the narrow gauge railroad in 1880 and by April, 1881, trains were carrying freight and passengers from Mound House to Hawthorne, NV, 100 miles south. By 1882, the Carson and Colorado had reached Candelaria, NV, the terminus of the initial railroad. To accommodate further building and financing Nevada, the Carson and Colorado Company was expanded to enable the railroad to extend into California. Although the projected plan called for extending the line to Fort Mohave on the Colorado River, the track actually ended at Keeler, formerly Hawley, CA, near Owens Lake. A decline in mining activity along its route caused financial difficulties for the railroad around 1890 and the company was forced to re-incorporate as the Carson and Colorado Railway Company in 1892. The railroad was absorbed by the Southern Pacific Company in 1900. The Southern Pacific continued to operate the line as the Carson & Colorado until it consolidated most of its narrow gauge lines into the Nevada & California. Portions of the line were abandoned in the 1930s and the 1940s and operations ceased entirely by 1960.50 site RV Park, full hook-ups all sites, pull-thru's available, can take rigs up to 46.
