Wendover KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Reservations are available at this full-hookup KOA just off I-80 in Wendover, Nevada, though walk-ins can register through an iron ranger at the front office after hours. The campground sits tucked behind the casino strip, close enough to walk to the gaming floor but set apart from the main road noise. Sites accommodate RVs up to 50 feet with electric, water, and sewer connections, and a dump station is on-site for those passing through. A camp store sells basic supplies and souvenirs, and shuttle service to the nearby casinos runs from the property.

The terrain is open and exposed. Reviewers consistently describe the sites as dirt and gravel with minimal vegetation, no shade trees, and very little separation between neighbors. Wind and dust are a real factor, especially in spring, and one visitor noted conditions were "incredibly windy and dusty" given the location. That openness also means tent campers should adjust expectations: this is not a shaded, grassy setup. RV travelers with hookups will likely find it more comfortable than those pitching tents.

Facilities are a consistent strong point across reviews. JR Z. notes "bathrooms and showers were clean and lots of hot water," and multiple reviewers echo that. The campground also has a pool, a playground, a basketball court, and a dog park (gravel surface). WiFi is advertised but has been unreliable according to at least one reviewer, so cell service may be the more dependable option.

The KOA functions well as a staging point for the Bonneville Salt Flats, roughly a five-minute drive away. Campers who have stayed on the salt flats themselves warn that 2WD vehicles can get stuck, particularly after rain, making this campground a practical alternative for those without off-road clearance. Diane also points out it was the "only place in town to find fresh potable water" while camping on nearby BLM land, with water available for $5. Nearby alternatives include Wendover Nugget RV Park just across the state line, and those exploring places to camp near West Wendover will find a handful of other options in the area. October visits tend to find the campground quiet and lightly occupied, while race season at the salt flats draws larger crowds.

Many campers appreciated the clean facilities, friendly staff, and quiet atmosphere despite casino proximity. The spacious but barren gravel sites work well for RVs, though tent campers may find the lack of vegetation and shade less appealing.

Simple but nice!

We arrived late at night and our host (Lucy) left us perfect info to find our site quickly in the dark. It was quite a surprise to wake up and see a pretty empty but lovely campground! Lucy was so kind to us and I wish we could have stayed longer! The Casinos are within walking distance but we did not feel unsafe. The campground is very large (but was empty in October) and we could tell it was very well taken care of! Cute store with a lot of nice souvenirs!

Good but with no wifi

Good utilities, nice facilities. Excellent access to salt flats and casinos. The park is gravel but there are a few grass patches. The dog park is gravel. Basketball and other recreation areas are good. Wifi was a nogo for everyone we met.

Typical KOA but next to Other Worldly Salt Flats and Casinos!

Is pretty typical for a KOA except for the location! This KOA has all the usual amenities: playground, showers, flush toilets, RV hookups, a pool, and wifi. Some convenievces can also be bought at the main registration cabin. In addition to the usual RV sites there are also camping cabins and "tent" sites (which I do not recommend). There are a couple of unique things about this KOA in that it has shuttles to the nearby casinos and is also a 5 minutes drive from the world famous Bonneville Salt Flats where numerous world speed records have been set.

Wendover KOA - Bonneville Salt Flats

We stayed at the Bonneville KOA on a road trip from Southern California out to Colorado. Our original goal had been to drive from the SF Bay Area to SLC, UT (US Highway 80 is a very easy, straight shot drive from CA to UT, even for a 650 mile drive), but got a really late start and changed our target to the NV/UT boarder.

The Wendover KOA is definitely a KOA designed for motorhomes and trailers - it’s BARREN - so not a place I would usually want to tent camp. All of the spaces are dirt lots, including the tent sites - no grass, no bushes, no (well, very few) trees, no privacy, no nothing. Again, this is not the environment I would normally want to camp in, but it worked just fine for a short stop between long stretches of driving when covering miles on a road trip.er

This KOA campground would be great for RV users who want to visit the Casinos on the Nevada side of the NV/UT boarder, and for those spending time at the Bonneville Salt Flats for races or recreational fun.

The facilities were clean - clean bathrooms, clean showers. There were fire pits and picnic benches in the camp sites, and WiFi was available on the campus.

KOAs can be really great and convenient (if not full), considering we did not have a reservation ahead of time, and arrived fairly late, but were able to register through an iron ranger near the front office. If you need to find a place to camp in this area, and do NOT have a 4WD vehicle, I️ would suggest camping at the Wendover KOA instead of the nearby dispersed BLM sites located ON the salt flats. When researching where to stop for the night, we considered staying at the BLM campsites as they were FREE and camping out on the salt flats seemed like a cool idea. We decided against it because we didn’t know how my 2WD Honda CRV would fair on the salt, and because KOAs always have nice clean facilities to use.

We got into a conversation with our neighbors about the salt flats (we had never seen them before). They seemed to think we made the correct choice by camping at the KOA rather than the on salt flats… they regularly take off-roading vehicles out to the salt flats, and have seen a dozen or so 2WD vehicles get stuck out on the flats. Apparently the long, vast salt flats are deceptive, and not always as flat as they appear. Also, they said that it can be very difficult to see pooled water while driving out on the salt, so a lot of people get stuck in deep puddles after rain.

Private and clean

We stayed for one night. The campground is close to the casinos, but still feels private and far away from the bustle of downtown. The facilities are nice and very clean. It is a nice option if you want to be close to the action, but not feel like you are in a casino.

Nice KOA, close to casinos

This is a nice KOA in a convenient location. I stayed there while attending the races at Bonneville Salt Flats. Unfortunately they got rained out but it was still a nice trip. The campground is tucked away behind all of the big Casinos, probably walking distance. The sites are large and spaced out so it felt pretty private. There is a pool, and showers so it's not exactly roughing it. I'd say it's a nice compromise if you don't feel like spending money on a hotel in that area.
