"We arrived early after a long drive. They immediately checked us in, gave us resort keys that allow access to the whole of the resort property. My kids loved the pool."
"Great staff and wonderful atmosphere. The prices are reasonable but you do have to pay a 19 dollar resort fee bummer!!!! Other then that we've had peace and quiet."
"Laundry facilities and dump station available as well as propane to purchase. There is also a small pet area."
"Park is kept very clean and the laundry and restroom are spotless. Site A16 is not the best site unless you don’t mind being next to the dog area."
$20 / night
"direct access
- very clean vault toilet, I think all sites have bear boxes
- super exposed, very little to no shade Getting the right site is important, most of the sites on the river are right up next to"

ScoutWe arrived early after a long drive. They immediately checked us in, gave us resort keys that allow access to the whole of the resort property. My kids loved the pool. The RV section when we first arrived was a large parking lot. No trees. No grass aside from the immediate vicinity of office. The Bathrooms were clean (the furthest were being renovated). Laundry room was clean. By the time dinner time arrived, the entire lot was full of RVs and families which made the parking lot seem more welcoming. We enjoyed every minute. The RV Office closes at 5pm and many of those who arrived after 5 were camped out in the parking lot.
LegendThis campground is a longer stay place and almost always full. Shady and clean it’s a really appealing place to stay. Lots of amenities here with attendants and an office that is staffed with friendly people who are happy to help with anything you need. Laundry facilities and dump station available as well as propane to purchase. There is also a small pet area.
GuideHuge disappointment! We were so excited, passing through Reno, we got a “standard” site, so we could get a nice steak at the Charlie Palmer Steakhouse, drop some money at the blackjack tables and get a good night sleep in our trailer.
Instead we arrived at 6:10, so the office was closed. There were tons of “premium” sites that we were told were not available. To access the bathroom/showers we needed a key, so we got to drive to the casino and wait in line for 30 minutes.
The site is not very well maintained and the bathrooms were clean by the premium sites, but not as much in ghetto end of the park.
By the time, all was said and done, we were tired and irritated so we stayed in the trailer and made our own dinner. $65 for for a weed infested parking lot with electric and seweris too much. Maybe OK if you REALLY want to gamble.
ScoutGreat staff and wonderful atmosphere. The prices are reasonable but you do have to pay a 19 dollar resort fee bummer!!!! Other then that we've had peace and quiet. Not a lot to look at within the
park but the rivers right there and the mountains are beautiful to look at. Great place so far! They have a laundry room also which is awesome. Showers and restrooms.... enjoy!!!!
TravelerGreat park and although there are a lot of long term campers none of the campers are run down or filled with junk. Park is kept very clean and the laundry and restroom are spotless. Site A16 is not the best site unless you don’t mind being next to the dog area.
GuideNewer showers and bathrooms than any other rv park in Reno. Very little foliage but that is the desert. Large and expensive laundry facility $4.50 for a load. Paid $59 for a back-in 30 amp site full service. Lots to do in the hotel other than gamble and as a camper you can use the hotel amenities - curling, pool, hot tubs, etc. We had fun in the Escape Room and Sensology games. Great views of the mtn range.
GuideVery clean. Level sites. Paved. 50amp. Bring a dog bone. Nice pool. Clean bathroom. Nice staff.
ScoutWe arrived after dark and it took a bit to find the right site as the numbers don’t stand out well and there are several hundred sites. We checked in at the front desk after office hours and the person who helped us was highly pleasant, however directiobs were limited. There is a sign pointing to the RV lot on the periphery of the parking lot. We appreciated the designated dog area filled with sandy gravel. The park itself is not anything special to look at. There isn’t much privacy or vegetation to speak of. It is a bit of a walk to get to the resort. We walked to the pool entrance which appeared to be the closest public access point from the park.
ScoutDate of Stay: July 31 – August 1, 2025 Location: Shamrock RV Park – Reno, NV Type of Site: Overflow lot, no sewer, limited shade, unusable Wi-Fi

We are full-time RV travelers and Good Sam Elite members who chose this park based on its affiliation and proximity to the police department. We paid for a full week in advance and expected a safe, respectful experience.
Instead, we were met with aggressive behavior, bait-and-switch pricing, and verbal abuse from a staff member (appeared to be maintenance, not management). • We were quoted $490 over the phone, but in person, my disabled-veteran partner was told $790. • The park refused to honor both Good Sam and veteran discounts, even though both are listed. • We were charged $52 for propane that was never disclosed before the service. • When we calmly said we were getting the funds to pay, the staff member came to our RV yelling, then threatened to call the police—even after we paid. • He screamed in my face, called me names, and got physically close. Only when I pulled out my phone to record did he calm down. • Two other staff members began filming us, mocked us, and offered no support or apology. • We now feel unsafe staying the remaining 6 days we’ve paid for, but have no other options as all other parks are booked.
This was one of the most traumatizing experiences we’ve ever had while camping. We’ve filed a formal complaint with Good Sam and have video evidence of the staff member’s behavior shift once he realized he was being filmed.
I would not recommend this park to anyone—especially solo travelers, families, or veterans. You deserve to feel safe where you stay.
