Guide
Lahontan is an acquired taste. If you're looking for a cool "forest" experience, shady pines, and easy-breezy camping then this is NOT the place for you. It's a huge man-made reservoir in the desert. It gets very hot in the dead of summer and shade is limited in many areas. The trees are mainly cottonwood and willow. Most of the camping areas are not formally developed and you just kind of have to "cop a squat" if you can find a decent spot. The area is hugely popular with boating, fishing, and jet-ski enthusiasts so the beaches and the lake can get very crowded. The restrooms in some areas are BASIC - some would even call them "outhouses". Others are much less primitive. There is one developed camp ground on the Silver Springs side (no RV hook-ups).
I grew up camping, boating, and fishing at Lahontan so it has a soft spot in my heart. Just know that it's not for every one.

A rude cranky old lady will yell at your kids for playing on the grass. They won’t let you stay to long if have kids. This is NOT a family friendly rv park. It’s meant for long term elderly. Which would be nice if they were nice. I also called ahead to make a reservation and they said they had plenty of room and just come in. When we should up they were packed and we just paid to dumb and leave. As a family unit this is not for you. If you’re retired and just looking for a stay or long term stay it’s good to go. Just don’t bring your kids. At least the gentleman in the office was super nice. He was the only good thing I can speak of. Of course the cranky lady went and complained to him. All because our kids were playing on the grass. Pffff.

Camp on Pryamid lake shore or full hookups @marina RV park tents trailers etc. Indian Reservation permits required. Fireworks sold & allowed designated areas. Also, fishing is great and seasonal. Activte Quiet community

When we arrived we had to use the exit to enter, which meant backing our 43’ toy hauler in thru a Narrow gate on a busy back road, as the front way had been painted so they had it closed. We weren’t told of this before hand. It is just a large parking lot that has been turned into an RV park. The rules state no rigs 10 years or older… which is bs as the majority of rigs there were that old and permanent residents. The place was like a run down, trashy trailer park. It did have full hook ups. We were there for a week and during that time, they never had both gates working at the same time. The back gate broke so they left it open. The back gate led to a very sketchy neighborhood and, with the gate left open, anyone could come in. The dumpster was padlocked closed, but there were small, overflowing trash cans for guests to use. Trash was supposed to be picked up on Friday, but was left overflowing for 3 more days. This place was the only place with vacancies in town.

The fees are pretty based on the honor system. $20 a night., $5 for an extra vehicle and 7 people max per site. There is both tent and trailer camping. They have bathrooms and showers.
This is one of my fav hiking locations in Nevada! I love the variety. There are different levels of hikes from easy to more difficult. There are lots of trees with excellent shade and you can't beat the views of Washoe Valley when you get to the top.
Guide
The RV spots are paved and level, the hookups worked well. Most RVs seemed to be people living there. The bathrooms were horrible with trash all over the floors and both showers were broken and unusable. When I left I got gas and mentioned it in the store, which is also the RV park office. They said there were also showers attached to the store and it sounded like they might have been serviced more often. The staff was very nice. I might stay here again, as there don't seem to be good alternatives, but would check the bathrooms/showers attached to the store with shoes and not flip flops or would use my toilet and shower in the van.

Called and they are long term only
GuideWe stayed here for one night on our way south from Likely CA. Our space was very clean as was the rest of the RV park. Nice laundry room. Full Hookups. Nice helpful staff. The casino was next door however due to the pandemic, we do not go in those or restaurants at this time. Only 18 minutes into Reno going south on Hwy 395.
Guide
This campground is located right below the boomtown casino in Verdi, NV. It's a well maintained ground. And pretty quiet. Several long-term sites in the back. All in all not a bad spot to spend a week or two.
Traveler
Great 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.
Scout
Beautiful views Can only stay a week here. Does not matter the loop your staying. But worth the stay. Close to Carson city. Loop A full hook ups Loop B no hookups Bathroom toilets onsite We had a 35ft 5th wheel w/dually.
GuideExtremely friendly RV Park manager. Made sure to point out all the park features and amenities. Once he heard I was a new RVer he put me in a spot that was easy to get in and out of.
This park has full hookups and free WiFi. I also had good service on my AT&T phone service. Park has restrooms and showers, as well as a dog run (sand/dirt) with chairs for the humans. Short walk across the parking lot is a gas station with small convenience store, and right next to that is the Casino. Small but with a great restaurant that cooked a really good steak.
Would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area!

The 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.
Guide
We have camped here many times over many years (in tents as well as RVs). Relatively quiet, spacious camp spots (fairly level), beautiful area with lots of trees, a lovely creek running through the back of of the campground, clean bathrooms, just 25 minutes from Reno and three miles from Frenchman's Lake. There's a wonderful general store a few miles down the road and the camp host sells firewood. No electric or water hook-ups at the sites. There are (potable) water faucets sprinkled throughout the campground but you're not allowed to use them to fill your rv water tank. Due to several years of drought and the trees getting old, many had to be cut down around the campsites. Some of the sites aren't as shady as they used to be. You may need a shade structure. Tip* camp away from the main highway. Those spots have far less shade and there is quiet a bit of road noise.

We were grateful to get a last minute spot here. The young man in the office who helped us was super nice! Some of the sights on the “valley” side have amazing views!! Ours was not one of these as we got a spot last minute. The lower rating is because the whole park is tight with it looks like 50% long term residents who don’t keep their sites very tidy. Also, 2 of the 4 combo toilet/shower rooms were out of toilet paper and a third one had a clogged toilet. The showers had hot water but look like they could have used a scrub with some vinegar to get rid of all the calcium deposits that made them look not so clean. Also, we couldn’t get the Wi-Fi to work at all. The park was very quiet at night and all the people there seemed nice and respectful of their neighbors. Just not our scene as it was too crowded. I think if you can get one of the sites when a view it may be worth an overnight stop. Virginia City, in spite of the history there, is a tourist trap.

This is the model RV Park, everything is laid out nicely, large spaces, pool, car shows, and a wonderful staff.
Guide
A pretty typical Casino RV park, pretty tight paved sites, mostly asphalt with a few trees. Bathroom and showers are adequate and clean. WiFi was variable worked most of the time. Convenient to 580 and downtown Carson City.
RangerThis is a nice jumping off point for checking out the pyramid lake area. Beautiful high desert lake. Note that this is primarily an RV park and that if you are okay camping rough, there is a better campground just north of this place.
ScoutRv park was clean clean clean very nice staff. The only negative part was my children and I could not enjoy the amenities Kids must be 18 to enjoy the spa even if accompanied by adults, had a great club house with a pool table but kids must be 14 to play.
ScoutWe didn’t reserve a spot (15 days in advance), but we were lucky enough to find an “RV” spot for our small camper. The spot wasn’t a “pull through”, and it was very difficult to park our trailer. Fortunately there’s free parking at the front of the campground for additional parking (our vehicle that towed the trailer).
To stay at a site, it’s $30 a night, no hookups, flushable public toilets, coin showers, fire rings, water spickets, and the sites are decently spaced apart.
ScoutKeystone RV Park is a top choice for travelers, offering clean facilities, spacious sites, and friendly staff in a peaceful setting near local attractions. old age homes Nelspruit provide essential care for the elderly, including comfortable accommodations, medical support, and social activities, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment with compassionate staff.
GuideSpent the night here on a road trip. 30$ for non Nevada resident but includes full hookups except water was shut off for the season. Flat, wide spaces with mostly pull throughs, clean bathrooms and shower. Convenient credit card pay system. Also a dump station.

Newer 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.
GuideTypical casino RV site - showers, laundry and full hookups. Hardly anyone there so we got a nice site in the corner with some rare Nevada grass. The casino construction was not an issue for the campground. Exceptionally clean facilities.
GuideThe Reno area is our home base, we are full time RVers in a 35 foot long fifth wheel. We come to Sparks Marina RV Park whenever we are in town visiting family, and we typically stay for at least a month or sometimes two months. We have visited ALL of the RV parks in the vicinity, and in Carson City to the south. By far this is the best place in the area. The sites are not at all outdoorsy, it is more of an urban feel, with a concrete pad and fake grass, but each site has a tree which is nice for shade in the hot summers. The circulation works well and if you have a pull through you have two parking options for your tower/toad vehicle. The spaces are long enough for the larger rigs, and are wide enough for all of the slides, even on both sides, and for awnings to go out. Staff here is EXCELLENT. We are always treated well, and we like how they are always there to help. The office has some supplies for sale, and the laundry room and bathrooms are the CLEANEST we have ever seen. Facilities are modern. Rec room has ping pong, and pool, a large screen tv as well. There is a small pool and hot tub, which gets a lot of use when open. They do not allow tents. They have a pretty robust WiFi system, and all cellular options are available in the area, so internet is not a problem. Prices are higher than other options but the location is excellent, staff is excellent and they do a good job of security as well. We feel safe here, and it is always clean.
RangerStayed here for a week. Full hookups. Not a bad park but there is constant public and trafic noise. You are right next to a strip mall. Otherwise a decent place for the price.
ScoutGreat service fully paved sites full hookups including internet at the site and TV. Very clean away from the freeway. We paid about $47 for one night for our truck camper with a veteran's discount.
