Tons of birds, waterfowl, deer, coyotes, beavers."
"Spent two nights here away from everything. Snow on the surrounding mountains, giant white pelicans in the marshes. "
$45 / night
"Very close to town and the free WiFi actually works!"
"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."
"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)."
$15 - $25 / night
"not close to amenities and no hookups- bring water"
"We camped 2021 at beach 7 and it wasn’t to bad we were in a tent but the water was low in lake just Carson river running to dam."
$30 / night
$15 - $20 / night
"Well maintained and had great walking paths. Stars were amazing and there was only noise from the wildlife at night."
"Campground is a little rough around the edges, but it’s a beautiful landscape with several marked short trails that are good for a wander."
RangerStillwater NWR has a number of designated dispersed camping sites with pit toilets and trash bins. Free. All dirt roads but roads are OK. When we were there in April/May 2020, we were the only ones camping in the Refuge. Camped on Division Rd.
All sites were clean and quiet. Level. Some of the lakes are paddleable depending on season and there are lots of hiking trails and interpretive trails.
Tons of birds, waterfowl, deer, coyotes, beavers. Amazing sky with mountains in the background.
About 20 min from Fallon for supplies. Would stay again.
LegendThe 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.
GuideSpent two nights here away from everything. Snow on the surrounding mountains, giant white pelicans in the marshes. We felt like immigrants crossing the Nevada desert in a covered wagon (actually our custom built Ram Promaster adventure van). Great get away.
RangerSome of the other parks were full so we kept driving and found this state park. There are only 10 camp sites but they are far, enough, apart. Water is available from a spigot and there are garbage cans around. It costs $10 of you are from Nevada, $20 otherwise. Of note is the simp station that has a $5 fee. The day use area is beautiful with flush toilets and a nice lawn.
GuideJust off of 80 @ the Mustang exit, east bound side. Industrial area, so trucks going by, mostly during the day, but occasionally throughout the night. Good, clean spot to rest for a night. Adjacent to the river
GuideThis BLM site is 1 of 3 along the west side of Walker Lake. This is the northernmost BLM campground along Highway 95. Follow the signage along the highway. Access to the site is along a slow and easy gravel road that is wide enough for two rigs to safely and comfortably pass each other. As you come down the road into the campground you'll notice you have an option to turn right (south) or left (north). Both roads lead to a vault toilet building with access to drive right on down to the beach. We opted for a site near the northern vault toilet. The views are spectacular as you are surrounded by mountains on all sides with Walker Lake in the middle of it all! This is dispersed camping at it's finest! While you'll have to deal with a little bit of highway noise it's not terrible since it's Highway 95 and not heavily travelled by anything other than semi trucks. The town of Schurz is a mere 12 miles north of the site and has several amenities along with fuel. The towns of Walker Lake and Hawthorne are 10 and 20 miles to the south, respectively. Hawthorne is a more populated area with grocery, gas and other shopping amenities. Highly recommend to any other lovers of boondocking. We stayed during the second week of November and the weather was clear, light wind with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s with the lowest nighttime temp of around 38. We'll be back here again for sure!
TravelerI stayed only one night here in 2022 while traveling through. It was a pretty drive through rural western Nevada, which ended in a four mile graded dirt road. I was driving an SUV with high clearance, but the road is suitable for RVs if you take it slow. Both campgrounds are RV suitable. This one does not have hook ups, but quail run does. The facilities are very new. Each site has a covered picnic table It is not a great tent camping area in my opinion because it is a desert loop and you are out in the open. I slept in my SUV. The area itself is beautiful though, and I need to make another, longer stop there and at the nearby "elbow" unit, which is more remote.
GuideStoped by for 1 night on my way through the nevada desert on a road trip. Ended up staying 2 nights. Got a quick spot with easy pay. Had great shade. Water spikette is across the way with the trash cans. Fire ring had grilltop. The peacocks came to visit. The trails are easy. The day use area is big and has a great group use area with bbq, gazebo and sinks.
TravelerWe were able to snag a spot here during a last minute trip 4th of July weekend. That there were multiple empty sites on a holiday weekend should tell you something. The sites were spread out pretty well, and had tables and fire rings. There were sooo many cigarette butts and other trash all over the place though, and it’s right next to the highway so the noise is pretty bad - even throughout the night. It’s close to Carson/Virginia City if it’s the only thing available, and relatively cheap. ($5/ night for NV residents, $20/night others.)
