Basic full hookup RV park. Open year round. You can book online at goldfieldrv.com. 10 sites possibly a couple more when the park is full. Most have 50 and 30 amp outlets. Water hydrants are heated. A heated hose is recommended during freezing weather otherwise use your onboard tank. Most all sites are pull-through some of the maneuvering is tight for larger rigs as there are pine trees fringing the camp. All gravel sites. Plenty of room for your table and chairs and even your towed without disconnecting! You are up on a hill with a fantastic view of Goldfield on one side. A historic city, once the largest in Nevada that is mostly a ghost town now. On the south and west side you have a rugged ridge and open desert view that often has wild donkeys. Pet friendly. Please clean up after your pet in the park, but plenty of open land all around to run free. Miles of OHV trails to explore. Limitless rockhounding and exploring. Interesting native vegetation includes Joshua Trees, aromatic rabbitbrush, and sagebrush, a few cacti. It is very dry here. A quarter mile off of 95 so no highway noise.

This beautiful marsh also promises excellent birding and wildlife spotting opportunities. Despite its name, actual Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs fishing is fairly restrictive, due to being a sensitive region and prime habitat for the critically endangered Fish Lake Valley tui chub. Keep your eyes peeled for large schools of goldfish found within the warm ponds year-round. Because this natural oasis is found in the middle of high-desert landscape without other water sources for miles, an abundance of wildlife is drawn to the spring as a watering hole.
The Fish Lake Hot Springs are a free public resource. Before you hit the road, brush up on Hot Springs Etiquette and be sure to avoid camping within 100 feet of the hot spring. Be respectful of the local wildlife residents, too, and leave them plenty of space.
Located in Peavine Canyon, on the southeastern side of the Toiyabe Mountain Range. Peavine Creek also flows through this site. Small store located in Hadley 11 miles north of the campground. Hiking north of the campground in Arc Dome Wilderness. Fishing in Peavine Creek. 10 units 1 group.

This is basically the back parking lot of a casino.
As a plus, it is only a few feet to a casino with food (Stage Stop Cafe), drinks (Shotgun Willy's Saloon), showers, laundry, toilets, etc. No road noise as you are out back. Raley's grocery store is off the other side of the same parking lot - super convenient. Maybe a 5-10 min walk down Main Street (Hwy 95) to everything downtown has to offer.
As a minus, it is a line of RV spots on an uneven paved lot. First come, first serve (2 out of about 15-20 spaces were in use when I came). Semi trucks unload at the casino/hotel/restaurant loading dock directly in front of the RV lots - during the day only. The parking lot also seems to be an expressway for OHV vehicles that aren't allowed on the Main Street - during the afternoon one spun by every 20 minutes or so.
For $40, it seems overpriced, but not a crazy ask. Rooms in the hotel for the same night were $87 by comparison.
Verizon Wireness was full 4 bars LTE speed. My speed test came in at 120 Mbps - great. The hotel has free wireless. I was unable to connect to the hotel standard wireless from the RV lot. There is a separate one marked "outdoor wireless", but that only achieved about 1 Mbps throughput. So using cell phone hotspot is the best alternative.
Water spigot did not work at my site, but they warned me about that and there were other site options. I used 30 amps with no issues.
Traveler
Great spot. There were quite a few people out but it was also labor day weekend, I still had no issue finding a spot and there were more sites available. Amazing stars and great hot spring.
Traveler
This gem in Goldfield surpassed my expectations. Clean, accessible bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, super supportive host, and extra amenities- like bikes to use while in town. We made good use of the kitchen and team dining table while there. The privacy of the spot next to the assay office was appreciated- and the grounds were quiet.
I'm looking forward to our return visit!
GuideWe were driving from Las Vegas to Yosemite > It’s a nice spot to spend the night, it’s almost halfway.
The access to the spot was 30min of dusty road but flat enough to drive at 35mph in a campervan.
The parking area is quite big Now one when we arrived near 8.30PM 2 cars when we woke up
It’s nice to be in the middle of nowhere, without any service. A lot of animals near the water (frogs, ducks, birds, cows, fishes)
There is toilets
Legend
Easy access to the desert. Did not go very far down the road. Desert views.
Traveler
we stopped while it was dark out, but it was pretty easy to spot. there’s a dirt road flanked by a cattle gate that’s marked on the map on this app if you zoom in. you can see the highway but it’s so quiet. there’s a minor sound of cars, but only if you strain your ears. we woke up in the morning to a pretty strong breeze, but it was still lovely. the hills in the distance are nice, and there’s some flowers and joshua trees scattered around the property. it was a great place to stop for a night!

Great stop over between Las Vegas and Reno. Pull thrus available, as well as back ins. RV section behind the main building, with full & partial hookups and 50/30 amp pedestals. Restaurant food is good with friendly staff to answer questions. $27.00 + tax/day.
Scout
This is a pretty wild place so it needs to be renovated for more development, so I can more easily access tunnel rush.
TravelerDoes not have toilets or showers.
TravelerIt's a simple RV park with about 10 pull thrus on a a very slightly sloping gravel lot. Don't be dissuaded by the two "Outhouses" - there are two complete facilities, each with shower, sink, and toilet. Very clean. Noise from the main highway, Rt 95, is minimal.
Traveler
Was fine for the night as passing through. Unfortunately they had had a lot of rain so the site was very muddy. Ok facilities
ScoutWas looking for a place to stop for the night. This place was easy enough to find. Indicated by two reflective stakes, otherwise it would be easy to miss. I parked on the dirt road after the cattle gate but in the morning realized there is a pullout area farther down and another dirt part people have been using to drive out into the brush area.
Distant road noise but that doesn't bother me.
ScoutPretty clean. Spaces close to each other. Room to pull thru for most Not level as whole campground is on a slant. Being new to this we couldn’t get level. Other wise 4 stars
Scout
Easy to find and nice walk into Goldfield for the walking tour. Host very friendly and helpful. Clean facilities and nice rest lounge. Lost a star for poor Wi-Fi reception in RV (good in lounge area) and noisy burros at night!
LegendWe are full-timers and have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We stayed for two nights here in mid May to enjoy the spring. This is a nice comfortably hot spring with no odor and two stage lake with Coots and lots of little fish. They are in the process of putting up barriers to prevent people from camping right next to the Hot Well, but there is plenty of dispersed camping around it. Also, unfortunately, there is a new sign(the old one was shot up) that reads“This facility will be closed and filled in if the vandalism and killing of wildlife continues”. Some people are just bent on ruining things for everyone else. There were only a couple other people here during our stay. 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.
We had zero AT&T service. Starlink had speeds up to 8 MB/s and we had DISH coverage on all of the western satellites. We didn’t try any OTA channels with our fixed omni antenna.
ScoutNot many sites but they are expanding. The sites are level but construction at the entrance makes the terrain broken up.
GuideEasy access but still quiet. The restrooms and laundry are a bit dated, but clean. Sites have 50 and 20 amp service, but they provided 30 amp adaptor.
LegendPlease note that this campground is currently closed due to heavy storms that have caused a lot of the trees to pose hazards to campers. Contact the nearest ranger station for updates.
TravelerParking lot right outside of town. Windy..no wi fi. Cable worked but was fuzzy. Laundramat at tonopah rv had 3 out of 5 washers working and 3 out of 8 dryers were working Right on the highway so a bit noisey. But then there is The Clown motel. Lol. Tonopah has some amenities. Food grocery, gas, all pricey.. Its a one night stay kinda place.. The parking lot campground was well lit at night. And there is a dump station.
TravelerSimple accommodations. Just what we needed. Will stay longer next time to check out the sites.
TravelerThis is just a great little Campground stay at and there's so much history and Goldfield a person really out at stay for two or three days to see everything. The park is got showers and 50 amp hookups in a concrete pad next to you the manager Georgie is just an extremely nice person and definitely helpful she make sure your guided right into your spot
GuideClean, easy on and off highway. 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.
GuideWhat a treat the Desert Skies RV Resort in Mesquite, Nevada is! The park is large and very spacious with FHU back-in and pull-through sites. The sites are double width with a gravel parking half and a concrete patio half, allowing for plenty of room for all your vehicles and toys. There are also some park model mobile homes that have full-time residents sprinkled in. It is located next to a beautiful golf course and near town and casinos. There is an office, mailroom, gym, laundry room, billiard room, restrooms, pool, hot tub, mini-golf course, dog runs, driving net, pickle ball courts, and access to desert trails for walking. So much fun to be had! All of the facilities here are very clean and there is no trash in the park. All of this and 360’ mountain views! If you are near Mesquite, this RV resort is worth a stay.

LegendWe had stayed here about two years ago when we were again going North out of the Las Vegas area. This review is written from an overnighter point of view versus a destination campground (CG). We were glad to see a high of 90 here versus the 110 prediction we’d just left. We were amazed how Tonopah had changed in two years and found out the reason. Silver and gold veins had again been found in the hills near here. The discovery of silver is what originally got this town started. Even the famous Clown Hotel and adjourning cemetery had a new owner and face lift. Several movies and documentaries had been made based on this haunted motel. Check in was easy and we were assigned pull through site 18 with FHUs out in the front (all the sites here have FHUs). 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. We hooked into their WiFi and found it OK. We also used their cable and found it to be a little fuzzy. Last time we were here both were better but there are way more people staying in the CG and motel this time around. There was a class A checking in at the same time and since they were staying a week they were placed in another area west of the office behind the motel. The sites back there are spaced a little wider apart. There were way more gas stations and restaurant options than last time. Even better location now for an overnighter as long as the boom continues.
LegendWe pulled into to 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. We have a great level spot, great water pressure, full bars of cell service, full hookup 30/50 and laundry facilities on site. As I write this we haven’t visited the restaurant yet. EJ the desk clerk was extremely friendly and helpful. We wanted to check in, she said, find a spot you like, hook up and come back and let me know your spot number. $27/for full hookup is EXCELLENT. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be back this way, but if I am, I’ll be stopping here again!
GuidePaved parking lot 50 30 amp no over the air TV pretty noisy they do have a Raleys grocery store in walking distance
RangerI've passed through Goldfield Nevada several times and always wanted to stay long enough to explore it more. In October 2020 I did just that. I wasn't sure exactly when I'd get there so I didn't make a reservation ahead of time but when I got near Goldfield I called around and they had a space available. (I called a few campgrounds and I can't remember if others were full or if this one had the best rates. I think I paid $25/night for three nights. Their rates have increased to $35/night in January 2021 (I called to confirm this.) They do offer lower weekly rates. People were friendly.
It's typical RV park. i.e. You're parked too close to your neighbors. My space was next to the "dog park" which was maybe a 20' x 10' fenced area so I didn't have another RV on that side. That made me happy. Few people actually used the dog park while I was there, They had full hookups. There may have been picnic tables I don't remember. They had showers and a restroom. I liked the location because I could walk just about everywhere. I didn't want to unhitch my trailer for such a short stay.
Overall it was a good stay. I prefer to camp BLM lands because you can spread out and there's a lot of space between you and other campers. I have solar, a composting toilet and running water on board so I'm pretty much self contained off-grid for a week or two. I'd like to explore the nearby BLM camping next time. The disadvantage would be that you'd have to unhitch to go explore the town.
Forgot something VERY important. You have to visit the DInky Diner. Really good food. super friendly. The owner, Karie, has a story about how she started the diner. Check out the photos.
