Gold Dust West RV Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sitting just off US-395 in Carson City, Gold Dust West is a paved, full-hookup RV park attached to a casino and bowling alley, making it a practical base rather than a backcountry retreat. Sites are asphalt with a tree between each space, and while the trees provide some shade as they fill out through summer, the layout is compact. Slides and stairs can hang over the edge of pull-through sites, so rigs with wide footprints should factor that in before booking.

Cleanliness comes up consistently across reviews. The bathrooms include four showers, four toilets, and four sinks, and the laundry room runs eight washers and eight dryers, all reported in working order. Gregg K. sums it up as a "very clean, paved parking lot with full hookups and cable." WiFi is available on-site, though reviewers note it can be variable, and at least one camper reported four bars of LTE directly at their site.

The casino restaurant is walkable from the RV area, and signing up for a players card has earned some guests complimentary meals. Construction on the hotel has been underway but has not noticeably affected the campground itself. The location puts Virginia City, Reno, and Lake Tahoe within day-trip range, which makes Gold Dust West a workable overnight stop for those touring the northern Nevada and Sierra Nevada corridor. Campers wanting a less developed setting can find places to camp near Carson City, including Camp-N-Town a few miles northwest.

Guests commonly noted the clean facilities and full hookup sites at this casino RV park, though spaces run tight for larger rigs. Several visitors reported customer service issues, but most found it a convenient base for exploring Carson City, Reno, and Tahoe.

Shade and other benefits

This campground is well played out, with nice shade trees. There is a decent laundry facility and pool/spa access. All this and easy access from the freeway. For those who enjoy some adult games, there is a casino that you can spend some time and support the Nevada economy. You might earn a prime rib dinner if you get a players card and earn enough points.

Nice, clean, well maintained

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.

Clean

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.

Great in town rv park!

We stayed at this location during the Sparks Rib cookoff. The only reason for four stars is due to how narrow the spots are. With the slide out and stairs down we were hanging over the edge of the pull through site. But nice quite park, clean bathrooms,a casino and 32 lane bowling alley! From here we visited the rib cookoff in Sparks, Civil war days in Virginia City and several other areas during our stay. Would definitely book again.

Nothing Fancy Good Bathhouse

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.

Rude employees

The front desk has a person named Ann who needs some serious Customer Service Training! I called to make a reservation and she immediately put me on hold without giving me an opportunity to ask a quick question. I was on hold for 10 minutes and probably would have been longer if I continued to hold. I called back and she hung up on me as soon as the phone was answered! I called a 3rd time and finally got through to another more pleasant employee who allowed me the chance to ask my question which was “do you have tent areas”. She answered my question very respectfully which took a whole 15 seconds. I called back to complain to the Operations Manager and guess who answered my call... Ann. I told he I needed to speak to a Manager and she asked me what was it about, etc, I told her to just patch me through to a Manager. This “Operations Manager” came on the line and when I asked for his name HE got an attitude! I will make sure to pass the word to my fellow Military Veterans and friends, NOT to stay at this RV Park! This whole COVID-19 has caused many businesses to lose respect of their customers because they are now booming! WE pay good money for SERVICE and many of these businesses have forgotten that. I hope you don’t have the same experience I did, just making a Reservation!

Great spot

Very clean, paved parking lot with full hookups and cable. Spaces are a bit tight but easily doable. Laundry and showers very clean. Casino and restaurant are as expected. 9.99 prime rib was also pretty good.

OK, Its a Casino. BUT...

4 Stars for a Casino Campground you ask? The key here is location, location, location. Now of course it isn't a camping type campground, but it is a nice full hookup location that is a great jumping off point for so many things and places. 30 minute drives will get you to Virginia City, Reno, or close to Tahoe. Staying there for 4 nights gave us a great week of touring all of these places, as well as Donner Pass, Squaw Valley, North Lake Tahoe (remember the Cal/Neva Club?), as well as the local area of Carson City, including the state capitol, and a nice day trip around lake Tahoe.

Yes, it's a casino - you decide if that's good or bad, but the restaurant is pretty good and the meal was free for signing up for the players card. Having 4 bars of 4G LTE at you campsite isn't a bad perk either.
