ScoutClean and cute, rv sites are level and spacious
GuideA great spot near Pyramid Lake. Normally a 5-star rating, but deducted due to the many flies and 2WD spots due to the proximity to the road. With a 4WD, you're much more flexible. Still, a spot I can recommend. Great view of the vast prairie and mountains. Protected by amazing rock formations that resembled giant fossils. We had T-Mobile internet.
GuideThe turn off to the dirt road was 300 ft past where the app said it was. Once we got deeper into the forest my gps wasn’t on the the route depicted on Dyrt, but it’s a fun trail. We went in about a mile in our RAM Promaster converted van then turned around and took a big flat spot closer to the road.
ScoutRoad is well maintained gravel, no potholes. Sites are nicely spaced, large and maintained. Vault toilets were super clean. Sites have a table and bbq. Got lucky and no loud parties, neighbors were respectful. We arrived just after dark and only stayed 1 night so cant comment on the daytime or weekend vibes.
ScoutTook in a 19 foot trailer - there were 3 sites we could easily use. The surrounding Forest is gorgeous. No one else here. We stayed 2 nights to hike a nearby peak hike Shallow Grave Trail.
TravelerStayed here overnight. Could easily stay here for a few days and see all the fun things around Reno, Carson City and Virginia City. Great camp hosts, clean showers, flush toilets, garbage and dump available.
ScoutSites are clean and well cared for. Each site has a patio area with turf and a picnic table. Staff meets you at the front, guides you to your site and helps you pull in. Staff also pointed out all the relevant features (hookups, parking spot for towed vehicle, restrooms/showers, pool, laundry and dumpsters)
TravelerUse the coordinates to get to the Boca campground site and make a right, the exact coordinates will take you to a boat ramp , the campground itself was fire we stayed at site 25 , had a private walk way to the beach
TravelerAwesome site, stayed in my van on the boat launch. There are tent sites above the boat ramp with bear boxes and fire rings. Left side of tent sites is very loud due to the rushing river. Very secluded from others, only 2 others on the boat ramp in vans. do not attempt to do this in anything smaller than an SUv sedans would definitely not be able to make it to this site. Road has lots of holes and rocks sticking up out the ground.
