"Excellent location, stunning scenery, limited cell service, sounds perfect because it is. Fishing, exploring and just relaxing."
"Besides the beautiful scenic lake spot that offers fun on the lake during the day and star gazing at night it’s a well ran campground with amentities."
"Not sure why the directions say California when it’s in Nevada. Someone edited the map to a random place in California. I fixed it, if not google maps desert creek campground fixes it."
"Located in a nice canyon next to a creek. Stayed here one night.
There are lots of different spots with fire pits once you get into the canyon. Lots of firewood as well."
"Side by sides, quads, dogs, miles and miles of trails and a ghost town we still haven’t found lol"
"Famous for its black and forest service atv/utv trails. Pool hot tub bar laundry. At&t and Verizon work well. T-mobile does not. Wifi is sketchy no over the air TV."
"Every night they walked through the grounds to see how everyone was while drinking a glass of wine."
"Being along US 395 it does get truck and traffic noise on the two-lane highway, but with all of the amenities and access to tons of local activities the road noise was more than bearable."
"Decent little RV park that worked well for us as we were driving through and needed a place for the night. It’s surprisingly nice and cute considering it’s behind the Chevron and the casino.
"
"There are plenty of trash cans around the park. They are emptied almost daily.
Pets are welcome. Dogs must be on leashes and picked up after."
$35 / night

"No fires are allowed, but you are right on the lake, with two docks and a beach with shade everywhere and amazing views, so who cares?"
"It was a pretty drive through rural western Nevada, which ended in a four mile graded dirt road. I was driving an SUV with high clearance, but the road is suitable for RVs if you take it slow. "
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.
ScoutGreat place to camp, fish, kayak, hike and relax. Dirt roads all the way in from Hwy 4 so be prepared for mild offroading and dust.
ScoutThis is a quiet campground that is good for small trailers or RVs, or tent camping. Access is rough gravel, and narrow roads inside the campground would make anything longer than 25’ difficult. There are vault toilets but no other utilities.
TravelerGreat find! For a free spot, it was clean and had pit toilets, bear boxes and fire pits. Plenty of space between sites, some creekside, and access to trails and the Virginia lakes resort is a 5 minute drive. Bodie ghost town and Mono lake are great day adventures from here as well.
ScoutStopped by Iron Mountain this morning on my way down 88. Not a sole in sight at this old abandoned ski resort.
A few rock fire rings but I think camp fires may be banned.
Lots of piles of logs so it may be busy with logging equipment, etc during the week.
Good place to stop at for a night. Not too much noise off 88 since its so close.
GuideGreat location to the TRT. Stayed here the night before getting on the TRT. Very quiet and plenty of sites open. Down side is all the used TP along the logs. Please leave no trace behind or use the clean pit toilets. Definitely will come back to this campground. The creek is nice.
TravelerCamped a little over 0.5 miles from the Hot Springs parking lot. Dirt road had 5-6 other groups on it. About a 10-15 minute walk to the bathroom at the Hot Springs parking lot. Stargazing from the hot springs was awesome!
