Gold Ranch Casino and RV Resort

General: 105-site FHU RV park with a mix of pull-through and back-in sites; site is assigned upon check-in.

Site Quality: All camper pads are paved and although the park is on a slope, all sites appear level. Each site had a picnic table but no fire ring. As would be expected, there is little privacy/separation between sites. 

Bath/Shower House: There were five individual sink/toilet/shower units that were clean. The units themselves were a little tight (except the ADA one) and even though there were hooks, there was a round stool instead of a bench. The shower had good water pressure and hot water.

Activities/Amenities: Well, this is a casino! Hubby gambles but I don’t, and he did not indulge this trip! Upon check-in, we were given several coupons including one for $15 off food at the café but you need to walk through the casino to get to the café (no surprise). We had breakfast there and it was good (as was the service). There is access to a hiking/mountain biking path, but I did not explore it since it had rained heavily the day we arrived, and it was muddy. There is a laundry facility that takes pre-loaded cards. The detergent dispenser was out of order when we were there. There is a cozy “living room” with a fireplace, couches, books, and games but it is only open during office hours (9-5). 

This RV Park is right off Route 80 for easy access but it is located behind the casino so the noise is not as loud as you might expect. This was a good stop for us as we had to refill our fresh water and empty our grey water. The staff was very friendly. We appreciated reduced winter rates after October 2 ($40 for a back-in site).

Beautiful view of the mountains, good security, private bathrooms and showers, pool and hot tub, very clean. Access to trails. However we have a cab over camper. They do not allow you to drop your camper and leave for extended time periods. We have found that many RV PARKS have the same policy. They accommodate any size of rig. It is the best relaxing RV PARK in the area, especially for a small rig.

Great find just west of Reno. Clean, large sites, and amazing customer service in the office.
