I was on a road trip in early March with my dog, and was looking for hiking opportunities. I…read moredecided to give Water Canyon a try. It was a good time. First, the challenges I faced -- (1) At that time of year, snow was melting at lower elevations, and things were very muddy. I just was driving a little sedan with limited clearance, and I realized I would not be able to drive to the end of the trailhead. I parked at one of the campsites and hiked. Even still, my car got really muddy (later the interior got muddy when I got back in!). The lessons are to drive a car with some clearance and 4-wheel-drive if possible, and bring a towel or something to clean off! (2) There was a surprising amount of snow still in March once you get on the trail. I probably should have waited just a bit longer. We were still able to hike for a while, but I wasn't prepared for the snow. Having said that, it was a nice hike. We got some great sunshine, and as the sun started to go down, you get great shadows. It feels like there could be quite a bit of wildlife around you. I saw several campers at the campsites on the way to the trailhead. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. Several other dogs nearby. The place is pretty close to town, also. I stayed at a hotel in Winnemucca that night, and this was a convenient hike for a traveler.

Camped here on a rainy Thursday night, 7/23/15, at the last campsite before the gate...in the grove…read moreof birch trees by the creek. I LOVED IT! One of the best campsites I've stayed at, and it was F R E E ! ! Right outside town, but felt very remote and peaceful (although I can see where it would get rowdy on weekends...there was lots of graffiti on the table about kids having sex there and whatnot). Site was huge, flat and equipped with a fire ring and a picnic table...surrounded by a stately grove of trees, with a view of the creek. No mosquitoes, but plenty of birds and a skunk (who left us alone, thankfully). Not sure if wood gathering is permitted, but there was plenty around. There were also vault toilets nearby. I would DEFINITELY stay here again! Can't recommend this enough!

Been here once, had my dog with me. The dog beach was tiny!! And he was not OK with other dogs so…read morehad there been anyone else there at all the day we went, we would've had to leave and be out the entrance fee I think it was $10. I would only suggest this beach for anyone who wants to go with their dog if their dogs are smaller and/or you know without a doubt that your pup will be fine around other dogs. Otherwise, it's off leash just like at a dog park and it may not be a pleasant experience for you. The people part of the beach seemed nice but I couldn't go explore as we had our dog with us. It's a pretty spot for sure, but I'd rather go down to another beach/lake area which is much larger in order to have a better/easier experience when traveling with my pups, which is often so there's that.

It was a 45mins Drive on dirt road and parts of it was a bit muddy since it rained a few days ago. Got to the parking area and a short walk to the pond where we saw it steaming. The water is nice and warm, parts of it was hot where it bubbles, so be careful where your butt lands lol. The bottom is muddy with very fine black mud, must be some kind of volcanic type ash? I don't know. The area is big as the pictures show. There was only another couple there when we got there so it's nice and not crowded. Love the place. I will return to spend more time camping there.

The WiFi was good, the FHU's were good and the asphalt pads were fairly level. The bathrooms are clean and modern with plenty of roomy showers and sinks.

July 9, 2026- Winnemucca, NV…read more IThis campground is fine for what it is--a convenient one-night stop. The sites are level with full hookups, and it's a large RV park. Overnight guests will most likely be assigned to the D row, where the other one-night travelers are grouped together. The park has a somewhat institutional feel, with modular cabin buildings that each contain three cabins. The full-time RV residents are located in the back rows of the park. There is a fenced gravel dog run, but no swimming pool. I had planned to do laundry, but all three of the large washing machines were out of order, leaving only three small washers, which were already in use. Also, Wi-fi did not work very well. I used my cell service which worked much better. The camp store had very little inventory, and all of the refrigerated cases were empty. In addition, the area outside the office was fenced off and being used to store construction materials, which didn't make the best first impression. Overall, it served its purpose as an overnight stop, but I wouldn't choose it as a destination for a longer stay.

A solid good campsite. Most of the designated campsites are immediately off of the creek, which I…read moreLOVED. Lots of opportunity for shade. Several restrooms available. Each campsite offered a picnic table and a fire pit. This appeared to be a local teen hangout, which was not a bother given the fact the Sheriff patrolled the area. The downside is all campsites are immediately off the access dirt road which meant lots of dust/dirt flying when people drove by.

If you're looking for a basic, no-frills BLM campsite, this is a pretty good one. Quiet at night,…read moreaway from the city, but not too far from I-80. As far as I can tell, it's free - there was no info on the kiosk about where or how to pay, and the ranger who collected trash in the morning didn't ask for a camping fee. Services: They have toilets and picnic tables, but no running water. One star off for the fact the cattle wander through the site (and campsites!) freely, so I was woken up by mooing, very close by, just after dawn. It was pretty - not breathtaking, and probably not a vacation destination, but definitely a good place to camp for the night if you're traveling through and want to avoid paying $33+ for a tent space at the KOA right off the freeway.

For starters, this review isn't about the RV park, as it's about the bar and restaurant. But when…read moreI "Yelped" this place, here is where I landed. Star Point Trading Post and RV Park is a friendly outpost, located in Mill City, Nevada along I-80 about a half hour west of Winnemucca. Star has a well-equipped general store, that sells a little of everything when it comes to groceries, beer, liquor along with camping supplies, hardware and automotive supplies. But... that's not all, as there's a fantastic restaurant, that features a full-service bar, for your enjoyment! As you enter, you'll notice the cashier's station is to your immediate left, with the bar and restaurant just beyond. To your right is the general store. The building is evenly divided between the store and the restaurant. I love the giant yellow gumball machine. Dollar bills are stuck to every column in the bar area. The general store has a little bit of everything, as it's the only store for many miles. You name it, they have it, including a deli case, snacks, a few groceries, lots of beer and soft drinks, with a shelf that has a good selection of wine and liquor. The aisle in the center has a great selection of nuts and bolts, and on the other side, there is lots of camping and outdoor products. There are also automotive items, and cleaning supplies. Even though they have a near-monopoly for miles around, the prices are what you'd expect to pay if you were in downtown Winnemucca. The second page of the 7-page menu features "Burgers and Sandwiches." I was tempted to order the "Half Pound Foot Long All Beef Hot Dog," but in the end, I went with the "Half Pound Original Buster Burger." All burgers and sandwiches include cheese and a side, and the menu offers a vast assortment to choose from. To see all seven pages of the menu, From the "Burgers and Sandwiches" section of the menu, I went the "Half Pound Original Buster Burger," which seemed to be the "signature" offering on the lunch menu. All burgers include cheese, so I chose "Pepper Jack," and my side was "Crinkle Fries." When you order a burger, you are treated to a vast array of sides, along with several varieties of cheese, which is included with the price of your order. Side choices include crinkle fries, seasoned curly fries, seasoned Jojo potatoes, onion rings, baked potato, small green salad or cottage cheese. I've never seen a restaurant that offers so many choices of sides! Cheese choices include American, pepper jack or Swiss. Add-ons are available for additional $1.00 each. The burger stated out with a half-pound of ground beef, cooked perfectly medium, just the way I love it. When I placed my order, I didn't mention how I desired my meat to be cooked, but I'm sure Tara could have cooked it any way I wanted. The pepper jack cheese was melted perfectly, and the helping cheese was large. The meat and cheese was set on a large, fresh, lightly buttered and toasted roll. The fresh garnishes of lettuce, onion and tomato were placed on the plate, to be added at my discretion. This is an outstanding for a superior burger, as the 'hot' stays "hot," and the "cold' stays cold. Tara knows her burgers! The "Crinkle Fries," were deep fried to a light golden brown, and lightly salted, which made for perfect fries. Included on the side was a small cup of ranch dressing, which makes for an outstanding dip. I could have asked for ketchup or hot sauce, but I'm happy with ranch! I added the onion, lettuce and tomato, and took a bite into my burger, and was instantly in "burger heaven." The meat was lightly seasoned, juicy and tender, and I could actually taste the pepper jack cheese, which enhanced this amazing burger. The cool garnishes contrasted to the hot meat, cheese and bun, which made for one of the best burgers that I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy for a long time. Chef Tara has talent! As I enjoyed my cheeseburger, a steady stream of locals came in to purchase things in the store, pick up a newspaper, or just to chit-chat. Don knew everybody by name, as Mill City is a small community. My "Original Buster Burger" was simply delicious, the fries were amazing, the beer was cold, and the staff was super friendly. When you're in the mood for great food, and maybe you need to pick up a few supplies, stop by Star Point Trading Post and RV Park, enjoy the food, and say a friendly "hello" to Don and Tara.

We had a reservation next door at the Winnemucca RV park but had concerns based on their reviews so we drove in here first and the gal in the office was able to not only accommodate us but also transferred our payment over from the other place because evidently they are under the same company just different management! Thank you so much!! Very clean here! It's all gravel and everything is well maintained. Large bathroom/showers, a pool, 2 doggie areas (no grass though) kind of like large sand boxes but very clean! They even have a dog washing station! Clearly they're a dog friendly RV park. Theres a lot of long term guests there, some who are working the lithium mines 60 miles away, everyone is friendly. I'd definitely recommend staying here!

The office is closed Sunday and Monday but the self check in process was clear and they had our reservation info ready. They have a small playground and a dog washing station. I didn't go into the bathrooms...so no advice on that. The downsides: It seems part RV park part trailer park of sorts. There were many trailers that appeared permanent and lots of big dogs outdoors in kennels set up. They have a koi pond that is in need of a deep clean. The pool looks decent but if the office is closed (all day Sunday and Monday) the pool is closed as well, which is a bummer.
