    New Frontier RV Park

    Decent

    Large RV park. All sites are paved and level. Trees in between sites are young so not much privacy. Clean. Dog park. Laundry.

    New Frontier RV Park

    Convenient location

    Right off Hwy 80. Quiet, spaces for very large rigs and a full service restaurant on site (Wingers) that has some vegan options. The dog park is all gravel and the pups didn’t like it too much.

    New Frontier RV Park

    New park

    Nice for middle of desert. All asphalt and gravel. A few patches of grass that you a supposed to stay off of. Not so friendly for pets. But...park is well maintained, clean and plenty of nice showers and laundry. Good overnight stop.

    Water Canyon Recreation Area

    Winter Camp

    We enjoyed our one night stay. Just a short drive from town and up a dirt road it was easy to find. We had some cell service with Verizon. We camped in third pull out where the vault toilet is. There are a few trailheads further up the road which leads to some traffic on the road during the day. It looked like a few people have gotten stuck after recent snow but we had no troubles in my Subaru.

    3 day limit, no water, pets allowed, dumpster, picnic tables, fire rings.

    Orovada Rest Area

    This rest area is a great free stop for the night

    On a recent trip to Reno, (June 2021) we stayed here once on the way down and once on the way back. While there were a few RVs each time we used the location, mainly big trucks shared the large space. 

    I gave it 4-stars because only because one night the idling trucks and off again on again refer units made for a restless night. The second time it was quieter, but still several idling trucks all night.  Nearest town is McDermitt, with fuel and a small casino on the Oregon border about 20 minutes away from the rest area, going North towards or South from.  The rest area is about a half hour or so North of Winnemucca, Nevada. 

    There are pit-toilets and a dumpster on the site, and two small picnic tablets under a shelter with a historical marker between the tables. As this is immediately off the highway, there were vehicles driving by or stopping all night long, but those vehicles were generally not a bother.

    As we were a self-contained 5th wheel, we didn't use either the bathrooms or the tables other than walking are the grounds to see what was there. The rest area is all black-top right off the highway (Highway 95, the Veteran's Memorial Highway, North or South). It had a really nice view of the area from the location. Along the east edge of the large paved parking area, it is lined with K-Rails. And fenced off to the land beyond the parking area except for access at the North East end of the parking area to take public lands towards the mountains.

    Winnemucca RV Park

    Friendly, Clean & Pet Friendly

    Easily accessible from I-80 in Winnemucca, Nevada. I was greeted with friendly service & a cute dog at check-in (immediate WIN in my book).

    Check-in was quick, and the facilities were quiet & very clean.

    It was a nice place to stop driving from California to Idaho.

    New Frontier RV Park

    An oasis in the desert

    The nicest RV park on our trip from Connecticut to Nevada! Clean and modern with paved streets, nicely spaced with mature trees (something you don’t often find in the desert!). Located behind a small casino that has a restaurant, and only $40.00 per night. You won’t find anything better on I 80 in Nevada!

    Water Canyon Recreation Area

    Nice, quiet, campground

    Great campground in a surprisingly green area.  Sites are well layed out and sit right next to a small creek.  Nice play to stay when driving through Nevada.

    Orovada Dispersed

    Get away from the crowded rest area

    Small flat area at the end of a .8 dirt road. A little rough but manageable by any vehicle. One other camper was there so we pulled our van onto the pasture and leveled it out. BLM land surrounds the area so those rules apply. Nice to get away from the crowded rest area and let the dogs run off leash.
