Best RV Parks & Resorts near Carlin, NV

The  Iron Horse RV Resort in Elko, NV is a real gem in the Nevada desert. It's on the main highway parallel to I-80 on the north end of town. You have to keep your eyes open on the right side to catch the entrance signage. The Resort is tucked down a private road. The office folks were very professional.

This RV Resort was extremely well kept and fairly quiet in the evening. Like many RV Resort these days, there are permanent or transient work related residents that are mostly out the perimeter sites.

All sites have concrete patios, flat and level packed gravel pads, picnic tables and full hookups. There are even a series of mini bungalows.

As you can see, Yoshi agrees!

We spent a night in hot August here in our Westfalia camping van. There are no tent sites but cabins and RV spots. Nice bathrooms, showers, a playroom with a ping pong table. The cabins looked attractive. It looked like a lot of people were there long-term. It really is more for RVers and those that want to stay in a cabin. I would recommend, except there is a train that goes by at least two times and blows its horn (this on a Saturday night). The coyotes in the middle of the night were wonderful but the trains weren’t. Also I had trouble getting on the internet with my iPhone 6–couldn’t connect to their WiFi.

Just passing through and not expecting much but this campground surprised me. It’s clean with friendly staff and plenty of shade trees! Amenities: full hook-ups, small swimming pool/spa, dog park, playground, good sized game room with pool/air hockey/ping-pong/and foosball! Definitely would stay here again!!

Located just around the corner from a full service (Def pumps) Maverick truck stop, this quiet RV Park is a convenient stop along I80. Pull into an open spot in the overnight section and then walk over to the office to fill out an envelope, deposit cash or a credit card slip (4% fee) and then hook up for the night.

The sewer, water, electricity and cable TV hookups are all in great working order in all the sites we saw. Wasn't busy the night we were here.

It is a $15 a night rv park. If you want a $60 a night spot spend the $60. You get hookups a shower and laundry right off the 80. If that is what you want that is what you get.

We aren’t rv park people at all. We definitely prefer disbursed, alone camping. However, that wasn’t a possibility last night so we decided to stay at Iron Horse. It’s super nice. Very clean and quiet. The dog park is pretty convenient and the bathrooms are huge and clean. Would definitely recommend. Having the hookups was so nice given how cold it’s getting at night. Would stay here again.

Would NOT RECOMMEND!! Had a very unpleasant stay here with my granddaughter. We came to visit my sister, her husband and my niece. Two of my sister's 40lb propane tanks were stolen, supposedly after they were filled with propane from this RV park. They reported to the staff the tanks where missing and possibly mistakenly taken. The staff told my sister to walk around and look to see if they spotted their tanks. My sister and her husband did so, but didn't see their tanks, so they went back to there trailer. A few minutes went by and 6' tall male employee came up, fast, on a quad with a buddy of his. He was VERY aggressive, extremely rude and argumentative. He even told my sister they stole their own tanks to avoid paying the propane bill! My granddaughter and I were too scared to even stay in our trailer and stayed in my sister's. Not only was there a thief on the loose, but now the staff at the RV park were coming at my brother in law, sister and escalating a very minor situation. All that man wanted was his money for the propane! Didn't once ask about my sister's stolen tanks! That staff member then called the Sheriffs department claiming a fight in progress. This aggressive staff member then claimed to be buddies with the sheriff's and said he's a volunteer fire fighter, to attempt to intimidate. My brother in law is a disabled vet from Iraq and he did his best to de-escalate the situation and I'm thankful. Four sheriff's showed up over this. I felt safe once they showed up and I told them so. This RV park didn't give a damn about the theft, just the propane. Trashy RV Park, I'll never go back. The showers and bathrooms where out of service as well. Dog poop from previous campers was all over. Just gross. Wi-Fi without internet FYI.

No frills RV park. Has this laundry room, clean and cheap. Right next to train tracks and lot full of heavy machinery. Mouse is too bad, surprisingly. Pets allied. Must be on leash with you. No tying dog out. No monthly rentals with dogs. No bullybreeds. Seems to be mostly full timers living here. Everyone keeps to themselves. Low water pressure. Good Verizon LTE. Poor T-Mobile

We felt very lucky to have been able to get a spot here after all the campgrounds in Elko were full and we had an overheating truck. Elko RV Park at Ryndon may not look like much, but the staff and permanent residents make it a gem! Mae, who works in the office, introduced us to a mechanic who lives there. He worked for hours on our truck and got us back on the road. I would highly recommend this campground as a stopover!

We rolled into Elko on a Saturday night and tried a few different RV parks that were either full up or overpriced. Gold Country had a spot available for $27 with AAA discount ($30 without) and it was either this or the Walmart parking lot. The two other RV places down the street were $50 a night.

All their 22 spaces are mainly in the back parking lot of the hotel and “back in” only - not pull through. We had a trailer so ideal. We ended up pulling into the space at night and then backing up and out of the spot in the morning.

I saw a security guard walking the grounds at night while i was waking my pup and it did help me feel a bit more secure since we were hauling a uhaul trailer.

Bathrooms were dated but seemed clean. We decided not to shower in then tho. We were almost to our destination and they were a bit too... something. Two stalls, two showers in the ladies room.

The lot we were next to looked like they had been there a while as they had a whole yard setup with fencing for their small dogs and potted plants. Some local flavor.

Wifi was for hotel guests only, not the RV folks.

We drive a 25' Class C. We needed to take showers, dump our tanks, and do laundry. This place was perfect. As others said, it's all self check-in. Because we are over 22 feet, the park required that we take a pull through spot for $40. The park was very clean, the laundry room was very clean, and my husband said the bathrooms were terrific. You have to pay for showers in quarters, so we showered in our rig. On a Saturday night, the RV park was nice and quiet and there are also beautiful views of the mountains. We would stop here again in a heartbeat!

We had a nice, full hookup site and the staff was very friendly. We had a nice view of the surrounding mountains. While the pool area was small, it was refreshing.

Perfect overnight stop on our way back to California from Utah. Gravel pads. Owners were super accommodating and friendly. Called ahead, late arriving. Full Hookups great cause this is high desert and pretty hot in July.

Great place to stop for an overnight stay. All self-check in no staff when we were there. Good price for full hookups. Has super clean bathrooms with showers. Expensive $1.50 for 3 minutes, 50 cents for each additional minute. We chose not to use the showers at that rate.

Level sites. Well maintained...clean. We did the self check in. One night stay on our way to Oregon.

Came in late for a quick stop on a trip home and needed showers, level ground, a place with quiet hours, and somewhere safe to call home for the night. And it checked those boxes. 

I was pleased with how clean the showers were at the end of the day when we came in, and in the morning, they had been bleached. 

Left before sunrise so I cannot attest to the cleanliness if the entire campground, but our site was level and tidy.

First, the campground is geared towards rv"s and RTTs and trailers. Most of the sites are pull thru, with several back-in. Normal tent camping wont work.

The facility was clean and welcoming. However, couple bones of contention kept me from giving it 5 stars, here's why:

1. If you are in a RTT, there is a lot of light in parking lot. The back in locales are right near office, so street lights, cars pulling in, etc.
2. The two bathrooms were amazingly clean. However...YOU MUST PAY SEPARATELY TO USE SHOWER! 1.50 to start, and a quarter each additional minute.
3. No change machine!!! Good thing I had 2.00 in quarters, and I take fast showers!
4. The back in spots are near the dumpsters...so you get an occassional whiff of garbage.
5. Union Pacific main tracks are about 2 or 3 blocks from the locale, and the sound the whistle all night.

Found this gem from a billboard that seemed too good to be true: $14/night for a spot with showers and laundry. We called to check it out and made a reservation. While it may not look like much, fourteen dollars was well worth the price. The spots have 30/50amp hookups, potable water, and sewer. The showers were hot with amazing pressure. The laundry facility was large and the washers/dryers worked well. It’s close to the highway and train tracks, but we didn’t really notice the noise. There is no WiFi, but our phone service was great. Would absolutely stay again.

This place is a wreck but the electric is good and it's slightly quieter than sleeping in a truck stop.

Great place to spend the night. Very clean & well maintained. Level gravel sites. Gorgeous laundry facility! Directions to get here off the exit were incorrect. Just look for the Maverick gas station. Only negative was you had to pay for the showers - but the bathrooms were big & extremely clean.
