Dispersed camping pull off near I-80
Nevada's public lands are open to camping. There is no fee for dispersed, primitive camping, but there is a limit to the number of days one may camp in the same location. Dispersed, primitive camping is camping where there are no developed amenities such as water or toilets. Primitive campers are asked to follow the "Leave No Trace" land use ethics. Dispersed camping in a motorhome is allowed, but dumping black or gray water on public lands isn't allowed. Some campground are established that requires a fee to manage it.
A person may not occupy undeveloped public lands or designated sites or areas for more than 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. Following the 14 days, a person and their personal property must relocate to a site outside of at least a 25 mile radius from the occupied site for a period of 14 days.

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!
Guide
Easy to get to off I80, packed gravel sites about 90’ long. Easily accommodates Big Rigs. We have a 43’ Momentum toy hauler. Every site is 30/50 amp, full hook ups, water and sewer. Passport America accepted. Paid $21.50 including taxes a night. Friendly staff. We made a last minute call due to the heat and they were able to get us in. They also accept mail for you.
GuideLocated just around the corner from a full service (Def pumps) Maverick truck stop, this quiet RV Park is a convenient stop along I80. Pull into an open spot in the overnight section and then walk over to the office to fill out an envelope, deposit cash or a credit card slip (4% fee) and then hook up for the night.
The sewer, water, electricity and cable TV hookups are all in great working order in all the sites we saw. Wasn't busy the night we were here.
RangerLarge RV park. All sites are paved and level. Trees in between sites are young so not much privacy. Clean. Dog park. Laundry.
Traveler
We stayed here twice as a layover on our Yellowstone trip from the Bay Area. Great spot with plenty of space.
There are really four areas you can stay. The East River is strictly for tents. West River has about 15-20 campsites with tables and cement pads that support RVs. Nice shade on all of these sites. There are also two sites that don’t have shade but have electric hookups (for an additional $10). The reservoir side has RV parking along the ridge and more legit campsites back a bit further. Lastly, there are big open gravel lots you can park the RV in if all else fails.
We saw lots of people fishing in the river, just off the spillway. Others were swimming and floating down the river in a tube. Plenty of swimming on the reservoir side as well as a nice little beach.
It’s only 2 miles off the freeway but there wasn’t much noise.
We stayed here twice on our trip (there and back) in a 31’ RV. Decent service on the reservoir side with T-Mobile. Not so much on the river side.
GuideThe nicest RV park on our trip from Connecticut to Nevada! Clean and modern with paved streets, nicely spaced with mature trees (something you don’t often find in the desert!). Located behind a small casino that has a restaurant, and only $40.00 per night. You won’t find anything better on I 80 in Nevada!
TravelerWe drive a 25' Class C. We needed to take showers, dump our tanks, and do laundry. This place was perfect. As others said, it's all self check-in. Because we are over 22 feet, the park required that we take a pull through spot for $40. The park was very clean, the laundry room was very clean, and my husband said the bathrooms were terrific. You have to pay for showers in quarters, so we showered in our rig. On a Saturday night, the RV park was nice and quiet and there are also beautiful views of the mountains. We would stop here again in a heartbeat!
TravelerRye Patch SRA is the perfect layover spot when driving through NV. There are sites for tent camping, rv camping with and without hookups, and group camping that I saw. I have made a video that shows the fee schedule (make sure to pay or you will get fined), the sites, etc. Hope you find it helpful.
Cell reception with Verizon is spotty...
ScoutPerfect overnight stop on our way back to California from Utah. Gravel pads. Owners were super accommodating and friendly. Called ahead, late arriving. Full Hookups great cause this is high desert and pretty hot in July.
GuideGreat place to stop for an overnight stay. All self-check in no staff when we were there. Good price for full hookups. Has super clean bathrooms with showers. Expensive $1.50 for 3 minutes, 50 cents for each additional minute. We chose not to use the showers at that rate.
GuideLevel sites. Well maintained...clean. We did the self check in. One night stay on our way to Oregon.
GuideWe stayed here at one of the full service pull through sites with a 19’ RV that we were renting. We arrived around 8:30pm and there was still someone at the registration desk to check us in. You can make reservations online beforehand. Our site had electric/water/sewage hookups. The community bathrooms/showers looked really nice and clean. Location was quiet. If I pass through again, I’d stay here another time.

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.
GuideThis campground rates a 4.0 I give it four stars because it will be a welcome Haven and oasis after a 7-hour drive from Klamath falls Oregon to winnemucca Nevada We will be very happy to see it. it has clean reviews and I'm really banking on this being a winner
TravelerFirst, the campground is geared towards rv"s and RTTs and trailers. Most of the sites are pull thru, with several back-in. Normal tent camping wont work.
The facility was clean and welcoming. However, couple bones of contention kept me from giving it 5 stars, here's why:
GuideJust a short distance off the interstate. Was just passing through, quick overnight stop. Stayed in the upper level campground, did not go to the lower level with all the RVs and tents as I was planning on leaving super early in the morning. $20 for out of state, $15 for in state residents
GuideSo this is the campground just below the damn (cross damn first and turn left), but there are other sites up and around the reservoir and boat ramp. This particular campground has trees and paved road/pads. No hookups at individual sites. Water spigots dispersed. Free dump station at top of damn. Every site has a steel fire pit and nice big steel picnic tables. Lots of open space for tents and such in fairly level and Sandy ground. My 40’ rig would fit in most spots no problem. Has free showers, but due to the current extreme drought the damn level is WAY low so they are closed, and no fires right now either. My cell signal (t-mobile) only above damn, no service actually down in the campsite. Overall clean though and nice atmosphere and perfect stopping spot for a night or two traveling through.
GuideLarge, clean campground ok Wi-Fi, cable, 50 amp service Winnemucca is a cool little town to visit
LegendVery clean, the staff very friendly and they accept Passport America, $ 19.50 fool hookups.
ScoutIt's a reservoir with a lot of RVs, 4x4s that have driven up to the lakeside, and an outdoor stage was cranking music just a few miles away.
It wasn't a bad place to stop, however, on the drive from Nor Cal (away from the fires and smoke) on the way to Yellowstone. People were kayaking and fishing, and a few had some classic 1990s slow jams to set the mood (if that's your thing).
A family friendly place that's worth a stop in the middle of the Nevada desert.
RangerWe camped here because it was getting late and we didn't want to look for the dispersed sites we read about farther down the road. Besides I wanted a shower!
The folks at the check-in were very friendly. The showers were clean and spacious.
The sites are the usual RV back in or pull through with electric sewer and water for $48 per night.
GuideThis place is a wreck but the electric is good and it's slightly quieter than sleeping in a truck stop.
TravelerThe site’s are pretty level pull throughs are paved backin’s are gravel
RangerStayed a night in June, then a night in September.
NV State Park that was not taking reservations at time we visited, and was 1st come/1st serve (might be different now). June: Picked out a nice spot on W side with shade, but neighbor had obnoxious generator going constantly so we moved to site 2, which was quite nice with shade, access to bathrooms, showers, a water tap on site. $20/night for dry camp for out-of-staters, many have a shade structure over the picnic tables and most appear fairly level.
For an extra $10 there are a few sites with electric on a bluff above the campground, which is below the dam, on the south side but NO shade or trees, basically on gravel.
Water in reservoir quite low, so no boats apparent but some rafters. Wild turkeys strutting around the campsite, including one Tom in full fluff. Cell service was one bar and supposed LTE in campground, but unable to pick anything up. Was able to get/send texts from parking lot at put in with Sprint/T-Mobile but limited access in actual campground.
Plan to check out west side campground later. September: Stayed again on way to Lake Tahoe. No one at attendant booth, just drive in and pay at credit card kiosk or with traditional cash and envelopes. Stayed in site#14 which was quite shady and next to bathrooms, although neighbor showed up late and his truck was parked very close and we heard their talking much of the night. Spotted a great basin gopher snake right next to our trashcan which was startling but it was gone by next day. Campground was initially pretty sparce (arrrived around 2p) but filled up pretty by end of day.
GuideVery spacious sites. Pull-throughs are cement and back-ins are very level gravel and asphalt. The end of the row sites have grass otherwise it is all gravel with tables. No fires. Trees have grown quite a bit and are really helping with some shade. We like it here but nothing to do in town. So sit back and relax
ScoutGreat place to spend the night. Very clean & well maintained. Level gravel sites. Gorgeous laundry facility! Directions to get here off the exit were incorrect. Just look for the Maverick gas station. Only negative was you had to pay for the showers - but the bathrooms were big & extremely clean.
GuideThere are 2 camps, one below the dam & a west side Campground where we stayed. VERY clean with new met al picnic tables and shade structures. Mostly gravel, excellent for RV not so goodfor tents.
