CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Pyramid Lake Marina and RV Park, near Sutcliffe, Nevada, is a fantastic spot for those looking to enjoy the beauty of Pyramid Lake. With options for both tent and RV camping, you can set up right by the water or in a more developed area with full hookups.

This campground is known for its clean and orderly beach, making it a great place to relax or take a dip. Visitors have praised the helpful staff and the well-stocked store at the marina, which has just about everything you might need during your stay. As one camper noted, “The beach was very clean and orderly,” which adds to the overall charm of the place.

If you're into fishing, you're in luck! Pyramid Lake is famous for its Lahontan cutthroat trout, and many campers have enjoyed casting a line right from the shore. Just keep in mind that you'll need a permit to camp here, and while there are no trees for shade, the stunning sunsets and clear skies more than make up for it.

For those who want to experience a bit of local culture, the campground is situated on Paiute land, and many visitors appreciate the peaceful community vibe. Whether you're here for a weekend or a longer stay, Pyramid Lake Marina and RV Park offers a unique blend of relaxation and adventure.

Couldn’t make it in time…

Sadly we were delayed and would not have arrived at Pyramid Lake until 2am so we didn’t stay. We did however visit the lake and museum and visitor center and it was well worth it! We will definitely be back to try and camp here again. We spoke with the locals and they confirmed that once you purchase the camping permit ($15) then you just drive to the lake and find a spot - very rustic, very cool! The lake itself is absolutely beautiful. We can’t wait to come back… maybe during a full moon and fishing season! Be sure to visit the museum and definitely stop at the INDIAN TACO spot on the way to the lake… it was delicious!

Down on the beach below the Marina

We stayed for 3 days on the beach next to the picnic leantos. We were the only ones camping on the beach. Very quiet. We have a 24' Class C motorhome. The beach was very clean and orderly. The Marina has a great store for just about anything you may need. The staff was very helpful.

Dry camping.

Camping here was great. Many different spots from able to use the marina or at the boat launch still on pavement or just right down on the beach next to the water. Only biggest issue is there is no trees. So no shade. Bring your easy ups.

Not in RV park but on the lake

Beautiful $15 permit and you find your own spot. You can be as faraway or as close to other campers as you want. No hookups or services but the water is perfect for swimming,fishing or boating. Bonus.....4th of July fireworks are permitted and the reservation sales awesome ones.( we are just observers)

This is right by my most favorite place in the world.

Words cannot explain this enchanted place. Located just outside of Reno , this is where the locals play. With the most beautiful sunny, and sunsets I've ever seen this week is the only lake in the world you can catch lahontan cutthroat trout. October 1st opening day. About 11 dollars a night to tent camp , or bring an r.v. for your glamping experience. The Paiute Native Americans reside here , and I have a wonderful relationship with them volunteering picking up the area in my spare time . This is Americas best kept secret. If you camp here, make sure you leave it clean when departing . Lots to do here.

Great way to check out Pyramid lake

This is a nice jumping off point for checking out the pyramid lake area. Beautiful high desert lake. Note that this is primarily an RV park and that if you are okay camping rough, there is a better campground just north of this place.
