Shamrock RV Park

Not a fan. Came for the Reno Balloon Race; booked it 4 months in advance. But they only had overflow available. You have to call to make a reservation. They didn't disclose to me that the overflow is just a parking lot where their warehouse is(on the other side of their property). I think this should be on the website because otherwise, you have no idea what you signed up for until you arrive. There's no sewer hookup; you can dump at the end. You have to share the water hose with other Rv's during your stay. So you fill up your tank in the beginning. The electric hookup was fine and was 30 amp. However there was no grass for my dog to potty. Pottying my dog at night was not pleasant. The pool is under repair and currently not an available amenity, which should be disclosed on their website. The lot abutts a gravel company that transports rocks and it gets kind of noisy and dusty, even on weekends. I paid$50/day. I won't be staying there again. But the positives were that the staff were friendly and the place is clean.

Date of Stay: July 31 – August 1, 2025 Location: Shamrock RV Park – Reno, NV Type of Site: Overflow lot, no sewer, limited shade, unusable Wi-Fi

We are full-time RV travelers and Good Sam Elite members who chose this park based on its affiliation and proximity to the police department. We paid for a full week in advance and expected a safe, respectful experience.

Instead, we were met with aggressive behavior, bait-and-switch pricing, and verbal abuse from a staff member (appeared to be maintenance, not management). • We were quoted $490 over the phone, but in person, my disabled-veteran partner was told $790. • The park refused to honor both Good Sam and veteran discounts, even though both are listed. • We were charged $52 for propane that was never disclosed before the service. • When we calmly said we were getting the funds to pay, the staff member came to our RV yelling, then threatened to call the police—even after we paid. • He screamed in my face, called me names, and got physically close. Only when I pulled out my phone to record did he calm down. • Two other staff members began filming us, mocked us, and offered no support or apology. • We now feel unsafe staying the remaining 6 days we’ve paid for, but have no other options as all other parks are booked.

This was one of the most traumatizing experiences we’ve ever had while camping. We’ve filed a formal complaint with Good Sam and have video evidence of the staff member’s behavior shift once he realized he was being filmed.

I would not recommend this park to anyone—especially solo travelers, families, or veterans. You deserve to feel safe where you stay.
