Desert Rose RV Park

RV travelers navigating Nevada's desert highways find Desert Rose RV Park positioned along busy roadways in Fernley, with full hookups and concrete pads for extended stays. The park operates as a mix of overnight stops and longer-term residents, creating what one reviewer described as "an interesting mix of full timers, seasonal, and short termers."

Sites line up in rows with concrete parking pads and small grass areas between units. MickandKarla W. notes that "sites are near each other throughout the park" with premium pull-through spots offering shade trees but no picnic tables or fire pits. The park includes a recreation room, laundry facilities, and shower house that multiple campers describe as clean and well-maintained.

Highway noise presents a consistent challenge here. Campers report hearing interstate traffic throughout the night, with early morning train sounds around 5:30 AM adding to the audio landscape. WiFi reaches most sites, though cable television service has experienced outages. Cell coverage varies by carrier, with some areas receiving limited signal strength.

For those exploring the broader region, campgrounds near Fernley provide additional options. The park charges nightly rates plus resort fees and pet fees, with Good Sam discounts available to offset lodging taxes.

Great Campground/Poor communication

They allowed us to stop for the night last minute (even though we called and left voicemail a day prior to showing up and they never returned it) while we were car camping and it was lovely. They weren’t going to let us at first since they don’t typically allow car campers after Oct 1st.

Got here and urgently needed to use the bathroom. The bathroom code they gave me doesn’t work. I called their emergency number 3x and no answer even with voicemails. This in turn led to us needing to use the wall but graciously someone let us inside to use the bathrooms.

They told us they got us a quiet spot… heard the interstate ALL night. But the kicker was when they turned the sprinklers on in the middle of night and soaked our car WITH OUR WINDOWS OPEN!

Beautiful site. Very poor service with staff.

Nice Park for a Night or Two

Gravel drives, concrete pads, close together, small grass areas. Great staff, and the Wi-Fi worked (my last four campgrounds advertised Wi-Fi, and it worked at the office, but not at my campsite). Close to town, with town having many multiples of options for food, groceries, etc. Nice for the couple of nights I was there. Road noise can be loud at times.

Lovely people, convenient spot

Lovely folks run the place, they were able to help us find a repair shop so our trip wasn't interrupted. It's in a great location on the way to Great Basin or before heading off to the Black Rock Desert to the north. Amenities are simple and very clean, don't expect a casino resort experience.

They are very flexible and helpful, we have stayed here a couple of times now and look forward to our stops.

Great experience

We arrived late afternoon and Debbie was so nice. She greeted me even though she was busy with another camper. It is a perfect stop on our last leg of a very long trip of over 5000 miles. We will definitely stay here again when we do “The Loneliest Road in America”.

Basic RV Park

Dusty gravel streets between rows of sites. RV's are closely packed. Concrete parking pads, small grass area and a tree between sites.

Good enough for a night stay

There was nothing wrong with this place, it was just kinda blah. Gravel road, sites are paved though. Really close to highway, so noise is definitely heard, even at night. Sites are close together, but there is a small amount of grass between them. There are showers, laundry and Rec room, but we didn’t use any. It was a fine place to spend the night if you’ve passing through, but I wouldn’t want to spend much more time than that there.

Nothing Special but a Good Short Termer to Visit the Reno Area. 

The RV park was easy to find and enter. Check in was smooth with a very friendly staff, and we were escorted to pull through site 150 with FHUs for our three day stay. The utilities are nicely placed on the middle of the pad. Site 150 is a premium pull through. The only thing that makes this site premium is the concrete pad, small grass front yard, and shade trees; as there is no picnic table, patio, or fire pit. Sites are near each other throughout the park. We really didn’t see where any sites were better spaced than others. We received a Good Sam discount for the nightly rate, which basically paid for the lodging tax. Then there’s a $2 resort fee and $3 per pet fee ($6 for our two pets) with other charges if you bring additional people and vehicles with you. The WiFi was average for a park this size. Cable did not work, but they were trying to get the cable company to come fix it. However, we got a fair amount of OTA channels, with two prime channels. We got 2 bars on Verizon. There’s an interesting mix of full timers, seasonal, and short termers. I state interesting as many of the permanent party live along the South to West perimeter. Most take pride in their sites but as good as the park sites look towards the front it degrades in too many sites looking like, well, a “trailer park”. There’s a very clean and well maintained facility with a Rec Room, showers and nice big laundry. We like the rule where a site can only use two machines at a time. Unless you want to trek out into the desert where the Quads and ATVs go, there are no trails here to walk your dog, but there is a small fenced, off-leash dog area, which was nice. We thought this park would be more of a destination park and for us, it was not. This park had the worse road noise we've experienced after two years on the road. Our sound machine could not drown out the internal park muffler rumbles of locals going to work that started about 4:00 AM, the highway noise all day plus most of the night, and the 5:30ish AM train. We stayed here three nights based on reviews from other websites. Our opinion overall, this place is nothing special. However, it is a good overnighter and could be an option to explore the Reno area.
