Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Lovelock, NV

The bathrooms were gross and my dog got stung by a scorpion, so my opinion is very low for this place. It seems like a nice place to stop and stay a night but keep an eye out for scorpions and I wouldn't recommend going in the water, found all kinds of articles about the water quality being poor. Also, turkeys, turkeys everywhere.

Spent 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.

Arrived very late at night. Not well marked and difficult to navigate in the dark....I may have stayed in picnic area (with a few other self contained vehicles). But very quiet, far from the noise of the 80. The bugs are awful...open your door for a second and they'll swarm any lightsource. Nonetheless, I'd stay again while traversing Nevada for an overnight.

It's a reservoir with a lot of RVs, 4x4s that have driven up to the lakeside, and an outdoor stage was cranking music just a few miles away.

It wasn't a bad place to stop, however, on the drive from Nor Cal (away from the fires and smoke) on the way to Yellowstone. People were kayaking and fishing, and a few had some classic 1990s slow jams to set the mood (if that's your thing).

A family friendly place that's worth a stop in the middle of the Nevada desert.

Very close to Fwy I - 80

Nice area, clean, friendly rangers and lots of space between sites. Site was had no shade.

There are 2 camps, one below the dam & a west side Campground where we stayed. VERY clean with new met al picnic tables and shade structures. Mostly gravel, excellent for RV not so goodfor tents.

I camped here for two one-night stopovers. It is a great spot for breaking up long drives. Easy to navigate, spacious sites, pretty scenery. The only thing I didn’t like was the bright light at the charging stations above the lower campground. Try to get a southern spot to avoid that.

The campground was very nice, the showers were kind of scary, but it was still a nice stop. It kind of seems like a party campground, so weekend might be loud. The site are mostly shady.
