    As you pull in, easy check in inside the store and drop box for after hours

    I will start by saying I was torn between a 4+ star review or a 5 and my deciding factor was that it's exactly as advertised but better (cleanest and friendliest place we stopped on our 3 week cross country trip). So why would I give less than 5? Amenities, mainly for kids. There is one nice grassy patch outside of the Rec Room for outdoor play, but no playground, basketball etc.. After driving 8 hours and kids on electronics, we always appreciate a stop over with a playground to get some outdoor play. However, adding something for kids would bring me up to 5+ stars. The air quality was very poor anyhow and we almost decided to drive straight home to the bay area, but as a solo driver with 2 kids and a grandparent with health issues along, we stayed. Glad we did as it was a very comfortable stay. I had our trip planned all the way back to WI as well as time there but started on travel plans home to CA a few days before leaving (figuring it would almost 3 weeks out). If you are traveling during these COVID days you know it's all semi trucks and RV's on the road and they all need somewhere to stay, add in those weekend local travelers and good luck finding anything on a Fri/Sat night. This was our last night on our 3 week journey and it happened to be a Friday. I spent 2 days calling, Googling and reaching out to any and every RV park and campground. I'd looked at the website and it looked like all drive through's on cement/gravel and with our little 2 person trailer, we like to pop up a tent for my 2 boys. I finally called out of desperation to ask and also check avaiability. Not only did I get the friendliest woman on the phone to talk to, but when I asked about a tent stating it looked like only gravel sites she said, "oh no, we have spaces with grass in the back"... I was so excited to hear but then had to check the dates and she said "yes" to that too! After so many "No's" from the Tahoe/Trukee/Reno areas, I was thrilled but did repeat my travel date and tent request just to make sure. I confirmed the reservation. We pulled in on August 6th to check in at the cleanest little grocery store and friendliest faces! We were led to our site which was right next to a large grassy area near the rec room and an easy pull thru site incredibly level we didn't have to unhook our truck or level side to side.. just enough space on the grass area for our tent (which is big enough for 2 queen bed) and walking distance to bathrooms/showers/ laundry which I'd also requested due to my low vision mother with other health issues and using the wet bath in our tiny trailer is very difficult for her. Bam! Desert Rose met every single one of my requests with not a single issue! I did notice there are many long term residents here. It was very quiet at night, respectful people when we were out and about with out dog the store had all of the usual camp essentials we needed. As someone that needs to eat mainly organic/gluten/dairy free, I was thrilled with the fresh eggs I found out are from one of the store employee's mom and sold fresh each day... score! I can see if you have a really big rig that getting through some of the roads could be a challenge with some of the longer RVs parking their vehicle extending into the road, but it didn't pose an issue for us and I never saw anyone trying to go one direction on a road with another coming opposite direction so it was a non-issue. Noteable: Best laundry facility we have seen in 3 weeks and the showers are full bathrooms with sinks, outlets, shower and a chair. You get your very own bathroom and they are the cleanest and roomiest of any other RV park or campground we have visited. There are cable hookups we didn't try since we were just one night, but WiFi was best of anywhere we've stayed in 3 weeks.. not enough for Netflix, but definitely worked for uploading photos to facebook finally (perhaps our tin can makes this hard, but this was the first place it worked from WiFi at a campground on my computer) We will definitely stop back if we need that last stop over on our drive home again!

    I've been meaning to share my experience staying at The Desert Rose, I just hadn't gotten around to it. Now with the focus being on cleanliness and personal hygiene, I feel I need to do my part and share this outstanding little stop just outside of Reno. When I'm looking to book a campground the number one priority for me is the shower situation. Yes we have a shower in the coach and I do like it just fine, but nothing feels better than a long hot shower with hearty water pressure and plenty of room to move around. Especially after a hard day of driving; my shoulders and neck get tight wrestling the wheel in desert winds. The Desert Rose has about 9 of these private bathrooms that are immaculate. See the pics below and go ahead and zoom in. They've obviously be recently renovated by someone who knew what they're doing. The rest of the building houses laundry facilities and two additional 1/2 baths. There is also a recreation area with television and chairs, a table with chairs, selection of books, magazines, and a vending machine with snacks and beverages. All of which are again, immaculate. The pull through spots are predominantly on cement slabs, all with full hookups. The town of Fernley itself does not have much to offer; however the Walmart has everything you could need and the Raley's supermarket is a MUST. Some of the finest produce I've seen in the country and vegan alternatives throughout. If you're passing through the area, this is where you want to stay.

    We had not been here in years and honestly, this was not my first choice for camping, but instead…read moreof heading to a campground and hoping to score a site, we decided instead to come to Pyramid Lake for a 2-night/3-day stay. Our previous camping experience many years ago was not the best, but we did come during the 4th of July weekend, so it was crowded, loud and all around not a good experience. This time however, it was wonderful!! We set-up camp where we wanted and had the area practically to ourselves, serious boondocking. The weather was also perfect, hot during the day and cool during the night. We also got to witness one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. My only gripe would be the mosquitos and even they weren't terrible. Although we didn't leave our campsite this time, we have previously visited many other parts of the lake as well as the Marina. The lake is huge and although not all of it is accessible, there are still many beaches and areas to visit and explore. I also like to stop at the Marina for ice cream. Another must stop is the Museum and Visitor Center, well worth the stop to learn more about the mysterious and rich history of the lake and the Paiute Tribe.

    I live close to Pyramid Lake. It's a STUNNING oasis in the middle of the high desert. Hardly anyone…read moregoes there, it seems, so it's easy to find a quiet spot all to yourself. The boat launch ramp area is super easy to work with and plenty of room for several boats being dropped at the same time. The biggest benefit is the superior fishing. You cannot go wrong with a trip to Pyramid Lake! Your eyes will thank you, as it's some intense eye-candy out there! Bring your camera!!

    After 5 years of full-time RV living, I can confidently say this is the absolute best RV park we've…read moreever stayed in. The location is unbeatable--you're close to everything in town, yet steps away from a beautiful, relaxing lounge area right on the Truckee River. The facilities are top-notch, but what truly sets this place apart is the staff. They go above and beyond to help you settle in, resolve any issues, and host fun community events. Having looked around the Reno area, no other local park even comes close to this level of quality. We are so happy we chose this place and will absolutely be back!

    Can't say enough great things about this little hidden gem…read more My hubby and I usually book our campsites as we go based on our eta, weather, pit stops, etc. As hubby drove yesterday, I looked on Yelp and found a little site just outside of Reno along the river that looked promising. I tried to book online but it wouldn't let me so I called the number and spoke to a very pleasant woman who took my reservation over the phone and even offered me a first responder discount! Upon arrival, they were set up for after hours check in and very organized and timely. Chris, the security officer guided us right to our site and was very pleasant. Our site was a premium river side set up that did not disappoint! We backed up to the river with lush trees and greenery all around. There's a beautiful patio with chairs, tables and Edison string lights overlooking the river where we would sip our drinks after a long day of traveling and watch the geese and ducks in the river. There's also a couple of benches and fire pits established for campers to use. There are long term residents throughout the park, and some sites are pretty close together so we were very lucky to have gotten a premium, roomy luxurious site at last minute. We definitely recommend paying the little extra for a river front site. Site 11 & 12 are the best! PS: the staff is very responsive to texts and questions and they were a delight!
