"Found this quiet campground in Silver Springs, NV. Only about an hour to Carson City, Reno and Virginia City. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed the peace and quiet."
"Well maintained and had great walking paths. Stars were amazing and there was only noise from the wildlife at night."
$15 - $25 / night
"not close to amenities and no hookups- bring water"
"We camped 2021 at beach 7 and it wasn’t to bad we were in a tent but the water was low in lake just Carson river running to dam."
"Nice trail along the River.
As of October 2023 the access road to scout camp was washed out. But there is dispersed camping on the terrace to the south."
"There are no services and the ground is a little bumpy/sandy but we were able to get around just fine in our camper van."
"Really close to highway, so noise is definitely heard, even at night. Sites are close together, but there is a small amount of grass between them."
"Gravel drives, concrete pads, close together, small grass areas. Great staff, and the Wi-Fi worked (my last four campgrounds advertised Wi-Fi, and it worked at the office, but not at my campsite)."
"Shade might be limited around here, but play a little hide and seek, and you’ll find some cool spots to chill under."
$10 - $20 / night
"Some of the other parks were full so we kept driving and found this state park. There are only 10 camp sites but they are far, enough, apart."
"Stoped by for 1 night on my way through the nevada desert on a road trip. Ended up staying 2 nights. Got a quick spot with easy pay. Had great shade."
"Close to the Sparks marina if you want to walk, but we were here for the Nugget rib cook-off. Just not sure on the all the rules as it seems some are followed some you can ignore."
"Very clean away from the freeway. We paid about $47 for one night for our truck camper with a veteran's discount."
Scoutlaundry room, showers, bathroom, pool were all very clean! The staff was super helpful, friendly, and available whenever we needed them. Would stay here again!
ScoutI enjoyed this spot though beware, you can get stuck in the sand. Many spots may be difficult to maneuver with a larger rig. I did get stuck and luckily someone left a car mat in the sand that they used to get out. It did get windy at the night I was there but calmed down by 10PM. My only annoyance was the poopy smell coming off the water. Not great, but lovely view.
GuideWe didn’t know what to expect blindly making reservations and we are not disappointed! Our stay is August 19th-21st and barely anyone is here, the grounds are immaculate, nice showers and bathrooms, concrete corn-hole game area, park with play area for kids, grassy area for picnics (no dogs allowed on grass), extremely quiet! Weather was lovely 88 degree range, but warning, warm winds pick up in the afternoon so keep things tied down! Water is very warm, around 73- 74 degrees! Many mature Cottonwood trees are lined up amongst the campsites picnic tables and fire pits offering lovely shade.
There is a very nice boat launch area with fish cleaning station, bathrooms, and self service kayaks you can rent.
This place is the perfect stop off while traveling the 395 !
GuideWell, I did. Took me an hour to dig out (truck and trailer) and I turned around and left. This is a site more appropriate to scout ahead of time, without a trailer. I didn't see many areas suitable to set up camp, most of the land was significantly sloped, no or little shade. Wasn't my cup of tea.
GuideThis is a really nice camping spot. I can't say much more than what was already written-easy check-in, nice spot, maintenance people everywhere. Standard park with sites close together, level with concrete pads, paved roads, in an urban setting.
GuideStopped by for the meteor showers that as it turns out may be obstructed by a full moon
ScoutWe’ve been traveling from Olympia and Bonanza Terrace has honestly been one of the nicest stops so far. The park is clean, quiet, and well-maintained, with full hookups that actually work—we were able to run the air fryer, toaster oven, air conditioner, and every light in the RV at the same time with zero power issues. That never happens!
But the real standout was the staff—one of the workers there was so, so sweet and genuinely helpful. You can tell they care about the guests and want people to feel welcome. It made all the difference after a long stretch of travel.
If you’re passing through and looking for a comfortable, reliable, and peaceful place to stay, this is it. Highly recommend.
GuideOk, to stop for the night. To close to the train tracks and highway
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.
