I thought the campground was very peaceful."

"We rolled in around midnight on a Thursday in September and there were still plenty of walk-in sites available. The camp sites were a little close together, but it wasn't too bad."
"Slightly long to get to on the windy roads at night time, but during the day the drive back wasn't bad. Loved the water access, and water was perfect temperature for swimming for our toddlers even."
ScoutStayed here 7 months besides the constant nagging from maintenance… which I get… it’s nice and they wanna keep it that way. Overall great place to stay NOV-JUNE
ScoutNever saw anyone working to rv park. That maybe a good thing, or not. Store had no inventory. Basic needs & full hookups. Not much to look at but it is high desert. Close to the town of Virginia City. When we got here the wind was blowing incredibly. No fires allowed. Park was on the mall side with several year round residents if you know what I mean. Overall it is just a place to stay if you there to see the touristy Virginia City.
ScoutConcrete pads newer campground. Heated pool, friendly staff. Shopping 1.5 miles away . Great local wineries in the area
ScoutThe camp spot is great for an overnight camp spot when driving on I-80. Easy to get to, quiet enough. Not a recreation destination.
ScoutCute campground if you are not looking for a quiet in-nature experience. The highway noise is dominant!
ScoutEasy to find. Nice space. Bathroom and trash and even a shower. Dump station if needed. Very dog friendly. Some nice hikes nearby. Will go back!
ScoutNice Quite kos campground clean and neat
GuideCampground was easy to find and access right off the road. Check in was a Lil off, as the main store/office is actually across the street. When we tried to check at the campground the worker their acted like she didn't really want to be working? And gave an unhelpful direction to the right place.
It is a bit louder than you would hope do to being close to the highway. Also, no dogs are allowed on the beach which was a bummer, but I assume was for wildlife preservation, or preventing landmines.
TravelerDrove a long way to come to this campsite, but it was closed for some reason. The area is gorgeous though!
