"The lake and the surrounding area takes on a different appearance depending on the season you visit, and whether it's been a wet year or a dry one."
"Spent the night here on a road trip. 30$ for non Nevada resident but includes full hookups except water was shut off for the season."
$30 / night
"The spaces are a good size but kinda close to one another. Rangers are friendly and often stop by just to see how things are going. Currently there's a fire ban but they do have fire pits."
"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."
$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."
"Has nice dog park, great hookups. Close to the Sparks marina if you want to walk, but we were here for the Nugget rib cook-off."
"The park is clean and has multiple very clean dog parks. We will stop again."
"We stayed at this location during the Sparks Rib cookoff. The only reason for four stars is due to how narrow the spots are."
"The key here is location, location, location."
"Great place to stay and visit Virginia City"

"I parked behind a hay stack and next to a picnic table where I could set up my little kitchen. There was also a clean porta potty and hand washing station which was very convenient."
"We walked along the creek and just relaxed. Very quiet and the backdrop of the mountains was beautiful."
$32 - $55 / night
"The area in each site for tents is incredibly level and nicely bordered. Additionally, the toilets (pit) and toilet rooms are exceptionally clean."
"You are up on a summit so the only thing to cut down the wind if it gets windy is the stand of trees that the campground is situated in. There are pit toilets and water hydrants."
"We appreciated the designated dog area filled with sandy gravel. The park itself is not anything special to look at. There isn’t much privacy or vegetation to speak of."
"We arrived early after a long drive. They immediately checked us in, gave us resort keys that allow access to the whole of the resort property. My kids loved the pool."
ScoutNever saw anyone working to rv park. That maybe a good thing, or not. Store had no inventory. Basic needs & full hookups. Not much to look at but it is high desert. Close to the town of Virginia City. When we got here the wind was blowing incredibly. No fires allowed. Park was on the mall side with several year round residents if you know what I mean. Overall it is just a place to stay if you there to see the touristy Virginia City.
GuideThis RV resort is situated in the middle of everything! Close to Lake Tahoe, Reno, Virginia City and more! Spaces are wide and recent upgrades will have nice vine covered privacy fences between each site. Showers were clean. Sites were level and pull through. Had a nice store onsite and large laundry rooms. The only draw back to this park is the traffic noise. It was very loud at times but did die down in the evening. Would stay here again.

TravelerWe were able to snag a spot here during a last minute trip 4th of July weekend. That there were multiple empty sites on a holiday weekend should tell you something. The sites were spread out pretty well, and had tables and fire rings. There were sooo many cigarette butts and other trash all over the place though, and it’s right next to the highway so the noise is pretty bad - even throughout the night. It’s close to Carson/Virginia City if it’s the only thing available, and relatively cheap. ($5/ night for NV residents, $20/night others.)
ScoutFound 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.
GuideWe stayed at this location during the Sparks Rib cookoff. The only reason for four stars is due to how narrow the spots are. With the slide out and stairs down we were hanging over the edge of the pull through site. But nice quite park, clean bathrooms,a casino and 32 lane bowling alley! From here we visited the rib cookoff in Sparks, Civil war days in Virginia City and several other areas during our stay. Would definitely book again.
TravelerThis campground is clean and extremely small sites. The climb up to Virginia City ( elevation is over 6100ft) was beautiful in our 39 ft DP, but the site was small. If you have a travel trailer it’s a bit better but we felt on top of one another. Clean laundry, brand new at $3 a load! The little market has basic needs. The park is walking distance to town. We stayed for three nights and were glad to leave the small sites. Can get a little loud on the weekends.
TravelerI tried driving up the other day, but couldn’t make it due to rocks. The road starts out as a nice, easy fire road, gets a little rocky, and then by mile 6 or 7 it goes full blown rock garden. SxS’s were going through it slowly, if that helps.
Virginia City seems like a fun little town, though. And the area itself is pretty cool, just couldn’t make it all the way.
Traveler4 Stars for a Casino Campground you ask? The key here is location, location, location. Now of course it isn't a camping type campground, but it is a nice full hookup location that is a great jumping off point for so many things and places. 30 minute drives will get you to Virginia City, Reno, or close to Tahoe. Staying there for 4 nights gave us a great week of touring all of these places, as well as Donner Pass, Squaw Valley, North Lake Tahoe (remember the Cal/Neva Club?), as well as the local area of Carson City, including the state capitol, and a nice day trip around lake Tahoe.
Yes, it's a casino - you decide if that's good or bad, but the restaurant is pretty good and the meal was free for signing up for the players card. Having 4 bars of 4G LTE at you campsite isn't a bad perk either.
