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.
ScoutGreat staff and make checking a breeze. All travel trailers lined up. You do hear traffic on interstate. Very nice rec room, laundry and clean shower room
TravelerGreat experience all around. We pulled a 36' toy hauler, and we were able to find a pull through spot. However, it was pretty tight, and I wouldn't recommend that large of a trailer if you don't want a few scratches from bushes. The park ranger was extremely friendly and the campground was well kept.
RangerYou must go through the main entrance to the Fort Churchill historical site to enter this campground. DO NOT drive down the gravel road that runs along the river. There is no camping at the historical site, only in Samuel Buckland Campground. It’s very nicely laid out, with some pull through and back in spots. No hook ups, vault toilets. $5 firewood at the Fort Churchill entrance, but no burning allowed at this time. We were nicely surprised to have water spigots at the sites (not hook ups). First come first served $15 per night and very quiet at night for a good sleep. Verizon cell service was not good.
GuideGravel 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.
LegendNeat little campground close to town with lots of mining history on display. There are 10 sites that are nice sized, some private and some out in the open. Site 7 is my top pick, and it has good hammock trees. While there is a nice bathroom, there are no showers. There is a dump station for RVs. There is a lot of road noise from the busy highway. I was surprised to see peacocks roaming in the campground, and in town there were wild horses grazing on the median in front of the local casino. There are some short trails you can hike along the water canal.
LegendThis location is so convenient and easy! Pull through sites that can fit any Rv. Everyone at the front desk was kind and very responsive. The operations manager was so kind as to pick up and deliver our empty propane tanks upon our arrival! Views of the Walker over from the walking trail were perfect. Kids welcome, two nice playgrounds and a pickleball court that they provided rackets for. Each site also has a small grass area. Would definitely come back!!
TravelerThis campground is clean and extremely small sites. The climb up to Virginia City ( elevation is over 6100ft) was beautiful in our 39 ft DP, but the site was small. If you have a travel trailer it’s a bit better but we felt on top of one another. Clean laundry, brand new at $3 a load! The little market has basic needs. The park is walking distance to town. We stayed for three nights and were glad to leave the small sites. Can get a little loud on the weekends.
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.
