    Clark Park

    Perfect overnight

    I love the ability to come in and pick a spot and pay in the morning. It was so easy and convenient especially being the closest place. Loved i didn’t have to get online or talk to anyone at an office. They are VERY organized with arrows, labels, and instructions. Highly recommend. And yes, everyone raves about the dog park but i don’t have pets but it was really big.

    New Frontier RV Park

    Decent

    Large RV park. All sites are paved and level. Trees in between sites are young so not much privacy. Clean. Dog park. Laundry.

    New Frontier RV Park

    Convenient location

    Right off Hwy 80. Quiet, spaces for very large rigs and a full service restaurant on site (Wingers) that has some vegan options. The dog park is all gravel and the pups didn’t like it too much.

    Clark Park

    Great Spot for an Overnight Stop

    Perfect for a one night stay. I called when we were about an hour away and was told they had several spots available. The gentleman on the phone was really helpful and explained the self check-in process and the best location for utilizing the dog ‘park’.

    Self check-in was both easy and convenient. They take cash, checks, and credit cards (additional fee for credit).

    There are both pull-through ($40) and back in ($35) sites. The sites are gravel and offer plenty of space between neighbors. We did have to level our rig just a bit. All hook ups worked great.

    The dog ‘park’ is actually a huge fenced in lot and was very handy giving our 3 Aussies room to stretch their legs.

    There was a bit of road noise at night but it wasn’t enough to disturb sleep.

    $35 for full hookups in a very clean RV park? Definitely worth it!

    Winnemucca RV Park

    Friendly, Clean & Pet Friendly

    Easily accessible from I-80 in Winnemucca, Nevada. I was greeted with friendly service & a cute dog at check-in (immediate WIN in my book).

    Check-in was quick, and the facilities were quiet & very clean.

    It was a nice place to stop driving from California to Idaho.

    Clark Park

    Super clean with fenced dog park

    Not cheap - but worth the $40. Check in was easy. We arrived about 8pm so used the self service envelope... they even accept credit card (we paid cash) Very clean park, nice wide, long spaces - PLENTY long enough for our 40’ Super C and Jeep in tow... they had a HUGE fenced dog park. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

    Clark Park

    Cute spot

    Please read fully so you know. It was definitely a cute spot. stopped here from our trip from Indiana going to California. THERE WAS SELF CHECK IN WHICH WAS SUPER Convenient because we got in at 1130 pm & checked out at 8 am. I do really like the spot, the electric worked fine. It was a VERY quiet spot. But there is a lot of people parked, but you don’t really see them. There’s some swings & a basketball hoop. I would probably stay again. Only downfalls, the dog park & the showers. The dark run is HUGE but it isn’t that secure, there’s spaces under the park which dogs can easily slide under. But it is a very big dog run. The showers, they do cost money which kinda sucks when you are paying for a spot. But I’m not mad about it. For the complaints about the staff, I had no problem with the man in the office, but boyfriend & I talked to him because he stopped us & he was very nice.

    Orovada Rest Area

    This rest area is a great free stop for the night

    On a recent trip to Reno, (June 2021) we stayed here once on the way down and once on the way back. While there were a few RVs each time we used the location, mainly big trucks shared the large space. 

    I gave it 4-stars because only because one night the idling trucks and off again on again refer units made for a restless night. The second time it was quieter, but still several idling trucks all night.  Nearest town is McDermitt, with fuel and a small casino on the Oregon border about 20 minutes away from the rest area, going North towards or South from.  The rest area is about a half hour or so North of Winnemucca, Nevada. 

    There are pit-toilets and a dumpster on the site, and two small picnic tablets under a shelter with a historical marker between the tables. As this is immediately off the highway, there were vehicles driving by or stopping all night long, but those vehicles were generally not a bother.

    As we were a self-contained 5th wheel, we didn't use either the bathrooms or the tables other than walking are the grounds to see what was there. The rest area is all black-top right off the highway (Highway 95, the Veteran's Memorial Highway, North or South). It had a really nice view of the area from the location. Along the east edge of the large paved parking area, it is lined with K-Rails. And fenced off to the land beyond the parking area except for access at the North East end of the parking area to take public lands towards the mountains.
