Best Campgrounds near Coleville, CA

Nice paved RV Park away from the bustle of the casino but close enough to walk over for a meal. They are remodeling the hotel but we can’t hear anything inside our RV. The laundry room is decent size with 8 washers and 8 dryers, everything is in working order. The bathrooms are clean with 4 showers, 4 toilets, and 4 sinks, all clean and tidy. There is a tree between each camp site but they appear to be trimmed up enough for taller RV’s to still fit; the trees are just leafing out and will be welcome shade this summer.

Dog droppings everywhere and truckers stop to bathe in the lake and sleep. I don’t mind, however, they keep their diesels on from time to time and along with the noise we’re choking on diesel exhaust fumes.

Usually I dry camp, but every once in a while like to come to a place with hook up so I can fill my water, dump my tanks take a shower, etc. This spot fits at Bill plus there’s a pretty lake. The non-hookup sites are $20 and full hook ups are 40. Ended up being $46 with fees. A little spendy. You do need a reservation in advance. There’s a QR code at the entrance however, cell service wasn’t strong enough to make the reservation. I had to come pick out a spot and then make the reservation online with my Starlink. That’s the really only annoying part here. Visited in April and the place was half empty. I would not enjoy it if it was full. Your neighbors would be really close.

This campsite is near the Stanisaus river! You can hear it at night and this place is a great spot to disconnect for society! Cell service is spotty to nothing, which is perfect!

Very clean and well maintained. Concrete, level FHU pads with picnic tables.  Clean showers and restrooms. Friendly staff. Convenient to town.

Typical casino RV site - showers, laundry and full hookups. Hardly anyone there so we got a nice site in the corner with some rare Nevada grass. The casino construction was not an issue for the campground. Exceptionally clean facilities.

Right across the road from the water, this campground was full of trees with amazingly large pinecones on the ground (crafter alert). Bathrooms and laundry facilities had plenty of hot water but could have been cleaner. No one was there in January so we were able to take the dogs for a decent hike into the back sites. If you are planning to walk in to a site with a tent the actual site location matters. Some along the edge were great with lots of space but others were very close together.

Loved the big beautiful trees. Enjoyed the creek behind. Lovely campground. Nice, clean facilities. Has bear lockers, pinicic tables and fire rings.

Sportsman’s Beach was a great stopover for us. It’s enough off the main road that you hear very little road traffic. There are no amenities, but there are covered picnic tables and a public toilet

okay. let’s be real. the road is a beast. I would not drive it with any vehicle other than SUV/Truck. DO NOT bring up an RV/Trailer. you’ll regret it. we stayed and car camped. an awesome view of the lights of Reno. can be very windy but if you get between some of the trees it’s not to bad.

Pull into a spot and relax while you listen to the creek, close to the road easy access

This spot is national forest, and overnight camping is not allowed. We had a knock from someone with the forest service the next morning who was very kind and let us know that overnight is not allowed.

Look up lakes and forest in this area on google — not many places allow dispersed camping

Just here to tell folks the road is already closed but there are a couple small pull offs.

We spent 1 night and was hoping to spend another except for an unexpected rainstorm that brought of course rain and high winds. It is a windy area as it is in a canyon, but it had settled after the sun went down, and we were able to build a beautiful campfire. Our site was very large and it might have been a group site but there was only 1 post on the site. The vault toilet was just across from the campsite. The site was quite private and had a small walkway down to the stream where you could fit maybe 4 or 5 chairs and just enjoy the endless stream. I have T-Mobile and I had absolutely NO service.

We were only after a night, so didn’t need much. Travelling this time of year when campgrounds are closed makes for desperate last minute decisions. BUT if you’re staying here, go across the road to Lake Tahoe Pizza Co. the best pizza!

Free camping

Very simple and clean park but it is right next to the highway with very limited amenities. Their “amenities” they list online are not accurate but again it’s nice and clean. Also make sure you have a secondary form of transportation since this place is secluded due to private neighborhoods so there is no access to town via bike or on foot.
