"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."

"Easy access right off the freeway but tucked into trees so you don't hear any road noise. Nice hiking trails, clean restrooms and very nice staff. Well maintained!"
"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."
$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."

"We walked along the creek and just relaxed. Very quiet and the backdrop of the mountains was beautiful."

"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."

"This RV resort is situated in the middle of everything! Close to Lake Tahoe, Reno, Virginia City and more!"
"Great location if you want to be near Costco and the capital city. Great views of the Sierras and the Carson valley. "
"It is a bit of a walk to get to the resort. We walked to the pool entrance which appeared to be the closest public access point from the park."
"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."
ScoutThis is a good established campground for families with young children. There are lots of areas to bicycle and hike, the bathrooms were clean and the rangers were present. There was bear activity and a mom bear did appear around 10:30pm in our site but she left once she confirmed the bear vault was properly closed. I would highly recommend this campsite. The only two problems I would mention is that the sites are oddly close to one another and the fact that the showers are located far from the Eastern loop.
ScoutGreat staff and make checking a breeze. All travel trailers lined up. You do hear traffic on interstate. Very nice rec room, laundry and clean shower room
GuideI went to stay at a paid campground nearby but they said my dogs would have to be leashed, so he suggested this place for us. It has a few roads with a couple campsites. Pure dispersed camping. But beautiful, any AWD car can make it down these roads. Only about 2 miles of the main road
ScoutNicely kept campground but no night enforcement for quiet hours.
Had several rowdy groups keeping us up til 2am. A few air horns, car alarms going off. No camp hosts or ground keepers around.
For the amount of amenities, I would’ve thought they’d have night employees
GuideWe couldn’t find this spot. We went up a dirt road near where it said on the map but it didn’t look right and wasn’t very accessible for our car. We ended up camping further down the road in what seemed to be a day use car park? We’re not really sure. It’s definitely worth checking in daylight hours, we struggled as it was 10pm when we arrived
GuideSites have lots of space, table, fire ring and generally level drive pads. Water spigots are not too far. Showers scattered throughout camp though not every bathroom has them. There is a small camp store that has wifi. Book far in advance to get a spot in summer.
GuideUnfortunately , a fire has wiped out this once stunning campground. We will be anxiously awaiting when they revive this area, but the trees that once existed are gone .
GuideAbout a half dozen spots to camp depending on how close together you want to be. Tonight only one other camper far apart. 4000’ altitude, 1-2 bars on Verizon.
RangerWe were at another location up the road that was listed on Dyrt and the Forest Service Fire Team came up and started talking and they suggested this site and its awesome. You cross the bridge over the river and the trail is to the right. There are a total of 3 established sites. The 3rd site requires a vehicle with a little more clearance. We got our group to the second site and that included a van camper that was 2wd so its easy to get to the first two sites. All the sites are on the river and have paths down tonthe water with a little beach. When we were there I early June the water was still very cold. It's a popular fishing spot with the locals. Not much traffic at all as its on a side street. Each site is large enough for 3 campers to fit. Stone fire pits hard already been established as well. Would definitely come back given the chance.
