Rye Patch State Recreation Area
Nice little oasis
We stayed here twice as a layover on our Yellowstone trip from the Bay Area. Great spot with plenty of space.
There are really four areas you can stay. The East River is strictly for tents. West River has about 15-20 campsites with tables and cement pads that support RVs. Nice shade on all of these sites. There are also two sites that don’t have shade but have electric hookups (for an additional $10). The reservoir side has RV parking along the ridge and more legit campsites back a bit further. Lastly, there are big open gravel lots you can park the RV in if all else fails.
We saw lots of people fishing in the river, just off the spillway. Others were swimming and floating down the river in a tube. Plenty of swimming on the reservoir side as well as a nice little beach.
It’s only 2 miles off the freeway but there wasn’t much noise.
We stayed here twice on our trip (there and back) in a 31’ RV. Decent service on the reservoir side with T-Mobile. Not so much on the river side.

Stars galore, easy access, clean setting
Rye Patch SRA is the perfect layover spot when driving through NV. There are sites for tent camping, rv camping with and without hookups, and group camping that I saw. I have made a video that shows the fee schedule (make sure to pay or you will get fined), the sites, etc. Hope you find it helpful.
Cell reception with Verizon is spotty...

Good spot
Just a short distance off the interstate. Was just passing through, quick overnight stop. Stayed in the upper level campground, did not go to the lower level with all the RVs and tents as I was planning on leaving super early in the morning. $20 for out of state, $15 for in state residents

Rye Patch State Recreation Area
Great little place to stop.
So this is the campground just below the damn (cross damn first and turn left), but there are other sites up and around the reservoir and boat ramp. This particular campground has trees and paved road/pads. No hookups at individual sites. Water spigots dispersed. Free dump station at top of damn. Every site has a steel fire pit and nice big steel picnic tables. Lots of open space for tents and such in fairly level and Sandy ground. My 40’ rig would fit in most spots no problem. Has free showers, but due to the current extreme drought the damn level is WAY low so they are closed, and no fires right now either. My cell signal (t-mobile) only above damn, no service actually down in the campsite. Overall clean though and nice atmosphere and perfect stopping spot for a night or two traveling through.

The Slow Jams...
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.

As noted in other reviews good stopover on long drive
Stayed a night in June, then a night in September.
NV State Park that was not taking reservations at time we visited, and was 1st come/1st serve (might be different now). June: Picked out a nice spot on W side with shade, but neighbor had obnoxious generator going constantly so we moved to site 2, which was quite nice with shade, access to bathrooms, showers, a water tap on site. $20/night for dry camp for out-of-staters, many have a shade structure over the picnic tables and most appear fairly level.
For an extra $10 there are a few sites with electric on a bluff above the campground, which is below the dam, on the south side but NO shade or trees, basically on gravel.
Water in reservoir quite low, so no boats apparent but some rafters. Wild turkeys strutting around the campsite, including one Tom in full fluff. Cell service was one bar and supposed LTE in campground, but unable to pick anything up. Was able to get/send texts from parking lot at put in with Sprint/T-Mobile but limited access in actual campground.
Plan to check out west side campground later. September: Stayed again on way to Lake Tahoe. No one at attendant booth, just drive in and pay at credit card kiosk or with traditional cash and envelopes. Stayed in site#14 which was quite shady and next to bathrooms, although neighbor showed up late and his truck was parked very close and we heard their talking much of the night. Spotted a great basin gopher snake right next to our trashcan which was startling but it was gone by next day. Campground was initially pretty sparce (arrrived around 2p) but filled up pretty by end of day.

Great Desert Stopover
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.

Rye Patch State Recreation Area
Easy access
We ended up dry camping here overnight just passing through. It was a great spot with some nice scenery. The Ranger was helpful with some questions we had. We stayed in the upper lot as we arrived at dusk and didn't want to go down below with our rig and figure out a spot. They can accommodate large rigs without any issues, but we were just fine up in the lot. Our 5th wheel is a 43'er and would have been fine to go down there and find a spot, but I'd recommend a scout vehicle go first to find/claim your spot as it is First Come, First Served. I do look forward to staying again!
- Pricing was $20/vehicle overnight.
- Electric Vehicle charging stations were being installed in the upper parking/camping area where we stayed.

Convenient off the highway but far enough out
Stopped here for one night, the cost was only $15 which was great. Bathrooms with flush toilets and showers. The lower campground looked great with trees and right next to the river but all the sites were full. The upper campground is really only good if you have an RV or are camping out of your car. It was crowded but for the price it worked for us. There is a boat access as well. We had pretty good cell service (t-mobile).

2x in ten days
We enjoyed the quiet stay on our way out to California, so we stayed again on the way back from there.
The entrance and overnight fees are not obviously stated on the entrance shack.
We learned this on our return stay. Awakened by a ranger’s soft knock on the RV door, we were informed that we hadn’t deposited enough in the fee envelope. Although not asked to, we made up the difference for the first stay.
There is:
- potable water at various sites, tasted good
- one dump site (total)
- a garbage bin every so often
- No mobile service
- fuel close to the freeway entrances

Quiet, off freeway, overnight
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.

Perfect
This is the perfect hidden lake down in the canyon. A very beautiful spot for fishing, deer and turkey watching. The sites aren’t right on top of each other, and they allow plenty of space for each site. This is definitely on my list to come back to.

Love this place
One of my favorite campgrounds that I’ve stayed at. We paid $25 for one night, since we were out of state. For that much, we got toilets, showers, picnic tables, and running water to do our dishes and drink from. The campsites are close enough to the lake for it to be enjoyable. Really loved this place.
Nicole B.TravelerRye Patch State Recreation Area
It was okay
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.

Pleasant campground just a few miles off I-80. Most sites provide shade. An oasis in the desert.

Great place to stop for the night
Nice little spot to stop, with the river right by the campground, which I loved waking up to. A little difficult to navigate if you arrive after dark, but not bad. The view of the stars was amazing!

Nice spot by the boat ramp
Nicely done. Each campsite has a tree, shelter, table and firepit. Right now, the trees were blooming so lots of birds and bees. Very nice showers.

Shady spot by the river
Nice campground located on the river below the dam. Some very shady spots and some not so much. Water available here and there. Quite busy on a Friday night, with generators on most of the evening and lots of motorized traffic. Bathrooms ok and 2 showers in the upper part.

Really nice spot!
We showed up at 730 pm on a Saturday in June and while every official spot was taken the ranger encouraged us to find a spot in one of a couple overflow lots. There was plenty of space and we settled in for the night.
The creek campsite looks great. The toilets were clean. It wasn’t noisy at night at all, and the sunset was outstanding.

A Welcome Oasis
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.
