Tonopah Station Casino RV Park and Tonopah RV provide full hookup sites for motorhomes traveling through central Nevada. Tonopah Station offers pull-through spaces with 50-amp electric service behind the casino, convenient to a grocery store and restaurant facilities. Sites are paved but sit on a slight slope that may require leveling blocks. Tonopah RV features similar amenities with full hookup sites including electric, sewer, and cable TV connections, though water hookups may be unavailable during winter months. Both parks accommodate big rigs, with Tonopah Station particularly noted for its accessibility. Clark's Custom Camp in nearby Goldfield provides an alternative with 50-amp service and concrete pads adjacent to each site. "This is basically the back parking lot of a casino... it is a line of RV spots on an uneven paved lot. First come, first serve."
Between Reno and Las Vegas, these RV parks serve primarily as convenient overnight stops rather than destination campgrounds. Most operate year-round with varying seasonal considerations. Cellular coverage is generally strong, with one reviewer reporting Verizon speeds up to 120 Mbps at Tonopah Station. Dump stations are available at both Tonopah facilities, while showers and laundry facilities can be found at Tonopah Station and Clark's Custom Camp. Pet policies vary by location, with most parks allowing pets but maintaining specific restrictions. During peak travel seasons, early arrival is recommended as Tonopah Station operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The proximity to Highway 95 means easy access for large motorhomes but also potential road noise at certain sites.

"Just a short distance off main road that's not heavily traveled. I grabbed the first spot in. Has a large tree with a rope swing. Has room for 2 vehicles. Nice and flat for tents also."
RangerStayed a couple extra nights for the mine, donkeys, and views which were all great. Road was a bit rough but doable for all vehicles up to large rigs. Several spots along road. Pack in pack out. Verizon was great.
TravelerThis is my second time staying here. It is first come first serve and if you can get a spot right as you turn in or close to there that's best. Further up is where the deliveries to Ridley's happen so it can be a bit noisy. Night time is quiet though. I stay here because I really like the casino, the staff is always very nice and the restaurant has great hamburgers. It is a safe place to stay from my experience. It's also easy and easy out.
LegendThis town is pretty sketchy. Doable for an overnight.
LegendLooks ok for a night. My pics show what is right in front of this parking lot rv stop. Just for reference from the street/highway.
LegendIt served the overnight stop, tank dump, water refill that we needed. We arrived in the dark which is a no go for us, but since site was pull thru and just next to the highway it worked out fine. Office staff was very kind over the phone booking my stay and the next morning. Campground is older and laundry room waspretty rough with most machines not working. Again, just an overnight was just fine. I really didnt even plan to do any laundry but decided to do sheets at the last minute.
TravelerRoad is fine - large parking area - minimal road noise - no toilet or water but if you are in an rv that is not a problem. Had a good nights sleep!
GuideNice location right outside of town pretty inexpensive $35 a night for full hook ups great views clean bathroom have laundry
GuideThis RV Park is about a block from the highway so it is nice and quiet. Roomy pull through parking. Full hookups all work great. Clean and tidy. Easy to get in and out of. Bring your own food, not much in town is open.
TravelerThis is a small, veteran owned rv park. Spaces are few, but very roomy and include all the basic hook ups. Goldfield is full of history and this park is centrally located. Will always stay here on our way thru.
Tonopah sits at 6,030 feet elevation in central Nevada, where temperature swings of 30°F between day and night are common. The high desert climate creates clear, dark skies that make Tonopah one of America's top stargazing destinations. RV camping options in this region primarily serve as convenient overnight stops along Highway 95 rather than destination campgrounds.
Stargazing sessions: Tonopah's designation as one of the darkest sky locations in the US makes nighttime viewing exceptional. At McKinney Tanks Camp, campers report "a sky full of stars" though "rodents loved to visit the camp throughout the night."
Gemfield rockhounding: Just outside Goldfield, explore for minerals and gems. "Great location to go to Gemfield! Rode our bikes the 1 1/2 miles up the road and had a great day rockhounding," notes a camper at Goldfield Road Dispersed.
Historic walking tours: Explore Goldfield's mining history on foot. "Easy to find and nice walk into Goldfield for the walking tour. Host very friendly and helpful," reports a visitor about Clark's Custom Camp.
Soak in hot springs: Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs offers natural bathing with "a man-made pool and then several concentric pools coming out from that each cooler in temperature." One visitor describes it as "definitely the best. Super clean, beautiful and remote."
Wild burro encounters: The Goldfield area is home to free-roaming burros. "Wild burros are so cute," says one camper, while another mentions, "Wake up to donkeys in the area" at Goldfield Road Dispersed.
Clean bathrooms: Despite simple accommodations, bathroom cleanliness stands out at Goldfield Miner's Camp, with one reviewer noting, "Don't be dissuaded by the two 'Outhouses' - there are two complete facilities, each with shower, sink, and toilet. Very clean."
Dark night skies: The minimal light pollution creates memorable stargazing. "There is absolutely no light pollution here, so the skies when clear are awesome, as was the view of the snow capped White Mountains to the West," reports a camper at Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs.
Convenient grocery access: The proximity to shopping at Tonopah Station Casino RV Park earns praise: "Raley's grocery store is off the other side of the same parking lot - super convenient."
Winter water limitations: During colder months, some facilities restrict water access. At Tonopah RV, "During the winter there is no water at sites but they do have a spot you can fill up."
Road conditions vary: Access to dispersed sites often requires careful driving. "Gemfield Rd. is pretty rough for pulling a trailer. Lots of washboards & big holes. Just take it slow, and all is well," advises a camper at Goldfield Road.
Uneven surfaces: Many RV sites require leveling equipment. "Not level as whole campground is on a slant. Being new to this we couldn't get level," reports a Tonopah RV visitor.
Limited amenities: Most sites offer basic services. "Dirt lot with power, sewer, and cable. During the winter there is no water at sites but they do have a spot you can fill up. Wifi was ok. Ok place to spend the night," notes a Tonopah RV reviewer.
Visit historic attractions: The area's mining history offers educational opportunities. "There's so much history in Goldfield a person really ought to stay for two or three days to see everything," suggests a visitor at Clark's Custom Camp.
Pack for temperature swings: The high desert experiences dramatic cooling at night, regardless of daytime heat. "We were glad to see a high of 90 here versus the 110 prediction we'd just left," mentions a Tonopah RV camper.
Check cellular coverage: Connectivity varies widely between sites. At Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs, campers report "zero AT&T service," while others note "Full Verizon & Streaming with T-Mobile Home" at Goldfield Road.
Explore unique facilities: Some campgrounds offer unexpected amenities like "bikes to use while in town" at Goldfield Miner's Camp, where one visitor appreciated "Clean, accessible bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, super supportive host."
Arrive early for first-come sites: At Tonopah Station Casino RV Park, a visitor advises, "We pulled into Tonopah as a halfway stop between Reno and Nellis AFB. They are first come, first serve, so try to arrive before it gets too late."
Check site levelness: Many report uneven surfaces requiring additional equipment. "Sites are on slight slope, power and water," notes a Tonopah Station Casino RV Park reviewer.
Watch for seasonal rate changes: Some parks adjust pricing based on customer frequency. At Tonopah RV, "The cost of the site seems to be based on how many times you have stayed here. We got a discount for being repeat customers."
Use RV parks as regional bases: The central location makes exploration convenient. "Between Reno and Las Vegas, these RV parks serve primarily as convenient overnight stops rather than destination campgrounds."
