Best RV Parks & Resorts near Chilcoot, CA

Snowflower sits just off I-80, it’s owned by Thousand Trails. With the popularity of RV camping, this campground can get busy in the summer months. It is closed in the winter due to snow. There is a small lake that is good for kayaking and paddle boarding. There are sites with partial hookups (electric and water). Lake Tahoe is just 30 minutes west.

I am a member of Thousand Trails and that being said this is one of my favorite TT spots in California. Family friendly, great little Lake for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding. RV sites have partial hook ups.  Thousand Trails does not reserve campsites so it can be quite a scene to find a site especially in the summer. Only one dump station was open (there are 3) so waited 30 + minutes to dump, hopefully management is working on that… they do offer a honey wagon service for $40.00 available 2 times a week.

When we arrived we had to use the exit to enter, which meant backing our 43’ toy hauler in thru a Narrow gate on a busy back road, as the front way had been painted so they had it closed.  We weren’t told of this before hand.  It is just a large parking lot that has been turned into an RV park.  The rules state no rigs 10 years or older… which is bs as the majority of rigs there were that old and permanent residents.  The place was like a run down, trashy trailer park.  It did have full hook ups.  We were there for a week and during that time, they never had both gates working at the same time.  The back gate broke so they left it open.  The back gate led to a very sketchy neighborhood and, with the gate left open, anyone could come in.  The dumpster was padlocked closed, but there were small, overflowing trash cans for guests to use. Trash was supposed to be picked up on Friday, but was left overflowing for 3 more days.  This place was the only place with vacancies in town.

The fees are pretty based on the honor system. $20 a night., $5 for an extra vehicle and 7 people max per site. There is both tent and trailer camping. They have bathrooms and showers.

This is one of my fav hiking locations in Nevada! I love the variety. There are different levels of hikes from easy to more difficult. There are lots of trees with excellent shade and you can't beat the views of Washoe Valley when you get to the top.

Impressed with clean sites and tall pine trees. A very clean RV park and friendly staff. Call for reservations as its popular. Some lower sites had concrete pads for the provided table. Several seasonal private modular homes among the RVer. Secured large dog area with running creek within walking distance. A number of lower RV spaces within walking pathways to creek. Most were 30 amps and upper level had some 50 amps. Lots of back ends and pull throughs. Visitors must walk to the trash designated area fenced in with recycling bins. Only one bathroom building that housed laundry room. Shower stall in women’s area .50cent for 20 minutes and 2 toilet stalls that the door hits your knees a very weird old bathroom. We enjoyed the park and plan to return again.

Called and they are long term only

We stayed here for one night on our way south from Likely CA.  Our space was very clean as was the rest of the RV park.  Nice laundry room.  Full Hookups.  Nice helpful staff.  The casino was next door however due to the pandemic, we do not go in those or restaurants at this time.  Only 18 minutes into Reno going south on Hwy 395.

This campground is located right below the boomtown casino in Verdi, NV. It's a well maintained ground. And pretty quiet. Several long-term sites in the back. All in all not a bad spot to spend a week or two.

Great park and although there are a lot of long term campers none of the campers are run down or filled with junk. Park is kept very clean and the laundry and restroom are spotless. Site A16 is not the best site unless you don’t mind being next to the dog area.

Very clean, full hook ups, can accommodate big rigs. Weekly, monthly, overnight. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star rating is that there is nothing around to do. General store across the street with gas and diesel, some food and drink.

We have camped here many times over many years (in tents as well as RVs). Relatively quiet, spacious camp spots (fairly level), beautiful area with lots of trees, a lovely creek running through the back of of the campground, clean bathrooms, just 25 minutes from Reno and three miles from Frenchman's Lake. There's a wonderful general store a few miles down the road and the camp host sells firewood. No electric or water hook-ups at the sites. There are (potable) water faucets sprinkled throughout the campground but you're not allowed to use them to fill your rv water tank. Due to several years of drought and the trees getting old, many had to be cut down around the campsites. Some of the sites aren't as shady as they used to be. You may need a shade structure. Tip* camp away from the main highway. Those spots have far less shade and there is quiet a bit of road noise.

Great lake for swimming and water play. Too warm for trout and too small for kayaks/SUPs. But it does make a beautiful backdrop. 
The park is rather spread out, so a bicycle/ebike is a plus. And if you mountain bike, there's some decent trails close by to ride. There's also legit fishing lakes within about a 20 minute radius. 
RV sites are mostly electric and water only, and many aren't anywhere near level. Nonetheless, I loved the place and will definitely go back. If you prefer parking lot RV parks though, go somewhere else.

This is the model RV Park, everything is laid out nicely, large spaces, pool, car shows, and a wonderful staff.

This is a great campsite, with lots of amenities. Super family friendly. Lots of kids at this site.

I came here in early August, 2020! It gets warm during the day and many spots have trees, which provide partial shade at some point in the day. I do recommend bringing a pop up structure for the moments when shade is not available.

We stayed at campsite 24, which is right on the river and next to the main river pool access. Lots of people coming by but everyone is respectful and there is some privacy from small trees planted along the path.

At the other end of the site is a river access that’s smaller and allows dogs (the main one does not). Since I do not have kids but do have a dog, I will probably try for the sites closer to the dog access next time.

The main river pool gets busy, lots of kids, families etc. but in the early evening and morning it is pretty empty and was a great time to relax. The dog access river pool was a lot less crowded. You can also float from the dog access pool down river to the main pool site which was a lot of fun.

The property has great bathrooms with showers. They take quarters for the showers, $.25 for 2 minutes. They have a small store onsite for the last minute essentials. They have a air pump to fill up rafts to float in the river. They also have wood delivery to your site if you order by 7pm. Each site has a picnic table and small fire pit with a grate if you want to cook on that! They also have a larger communal areas with BBQ and sink for those wanted to have a group meal. Each campsite has water, electricity and full RV hookups. So lots of RV’s at this location.

Very dog friendly and kid friendly.

Staff was super helpful and always present. They made rounds emptying trash cans, cleaning the bathrooms and just monitoring the area so that’s is super well maintained. You can tell they really love the place and want to keep it clean. They also were super nice when enforcing the rules, not mean but were not afraid to remind people to follow the camp rules (which were super reasonable).

No cell service, which was great. But you can drive up the hill 10 minutes to park at the vista and get a signal.

All in all we had a great time and will be back!

This place had everything for camping such as hookups, sewer, 30/50 amp, horrible WiFi, satellite if you can find it…. Skateboard park was nice but the people around weren’t. Watch out for needles because drug use was advertised…. They weren’t worried about getting arrested. The park for children was nice but don’t feel safe!!! Nothing else it advertised was close and at night we wanted to lock up night!! Vocabulary for RV campgrounds not RV parks because people lived and rented monthly spaces which is fine but not if you’re looking to have a camping experience!! We met another new camper and they felt the same way. They even encountered a grocery store employee DRUNK. She took her mask off and the smell of alcohol about knocked the him over. She was rude and drunk! Wouldn’t recommend this site or area!

A pretty typical Casino RV park, pretty tight paved sites, mostly asphalt with a few trees. Bathroom and showers are adequate and clean. WiFi was variable worked most of the time. Convenient to 580 and downtown Carson City.

Rv park was clean clean clean very nice staff. The only negative part was my children and I could not enjoy the amenities Kids must be 18 to enjoy the spa even if accompanied by adults, had a great club house with a pool table but kids must be 14 to play.
