Yeah, it's about an hour into Reno, but that doesn't bother us... others might think that's too far.Well maintained, good shade trees... Carl, our escort, was great, as was the receptionist in the main office. Our space is a little low in front, but nothing our leveling jacks can't handle. 50 amp seems good, water is fine, our cable doesn't work but we don't care.Yeah, we'd definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for a quick overnight on I80. This was a nice park with clean level sites. Some sites have shade and grass between the sites. Clean common area with showers and laundry.

This was a nice park with clean level sites. Some sites have shade and grass between the sites. Clean common area with showers and laundry. We were here because AC was required, but I think with the windows open and the AC off the road noise would have been a problem from the highway. There are plenty of long term people staying and they do have some early shifts but everyone was quiet and even though the park was full it was relatively quiet in the park itself.

The RV park was easy to find and enter. Check in was smooth with a very friendly staff, and we were escorted to pull through site 150 with FHUs for our three day stay.

Check in was smooth with a very friendly staff, and we were escorted to pull through site 150 with FHUs for our three day stay. The utilities are nicely placed on the middle of the pad. Site 150 is a premium pull through. The only thing that makes this site premium is the concrete pad, small grass front yard, and shade trees; as there is no picnic table, patio, or fire pit. Sites are near each other throughout the park. We really didn’t see where any sites were better spaced than others. We received a Good Sam discount for the nightly rate, which basically paid for the lodging tax. Then there’s a $2 resort fee and $3 per pet fee ($6 for our two pets) with other charges if you bring additional people and vehicles with you. The WiFi was average for a park this size. Cable did not work, but they were trying to get the cable company to come fix it and now looking for a new cable company. However, we got a fair amount of OTA channels, with two prime channels. We got 2 bars on Verizon. There’s an interesting mix of full timers, seasonal, and short termers. I state interesting as many of the permanent party live along the South to West perimeter. Most take pride in their sites but as good as the park sites look towards the front it degrades in too many sites looking like, well, a “trailer park”. There’s a very clean and well maintained facility with a Rec Room, showers and nice big laundry. We like the rule where a site can only use two machines at a time. Unless you want to trek out into the desert where the Quads and ATVs go, there are no trails here to walk your dog, but there is a small fenced, off-leash dog area, which was nice. We thought this park would be more of a destination park and for us, it was not. This park had the worse road noise we've experienced after two years on the road. Our sound machine could not drown out the internal park muffler rumbles of locals going to work that started about 4:00 AM, the highway noise all day plus most of the night, and the 5:30ish AM train. We stayed here three nights based on reviews from other websites. Our opinion overall, this place is nothing special. However, it is a good overnighter and could be an option to explore the Reno area.

This is the only RV park in Fernley I've found that caters to overnighters. Today I made a reservation for one night in September.

Today I made a reservation for one night in September. After answering their questions re: rig type, # of people, pets, etc., was shocked when I received the confirmation email. In addition to the $38 reservation fee for one night (minus $5.70 discount for Escapees), upon check-in I would be charged:$4.00 extra for 4 people inhabiting the RV (?)$2.00 resort fee$3.55 lodging tax$1.00 charge for the vehicle towing the RV into the park (?)$1.00 pet fee for a PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED SERVICE DOG for our son who has a physical disability. When making the reservation, I made a point of mentioning that the dog is not a pet, but a service dog. When I called back to politely question the service dog fee and point out that federal and Nevada state law prohibit public accommodations from charging a "pet fee" for service animals, I was told that the policy of the park is to charge a fee for "pets" and that they "have a nice dog park." $1 is not worth fighting for, but due to this and the other unusual fees, I've cancelled our reservation and we'll just push through to our next destination.

Check in was quick and easy, but despite still being under a state indoor mask mandate, there were none to be seen here. The layout and spacing is pretty typical of commercial camping with level sites throughout. Our pull-through site was easy to access, and while we fit, it was snug all the way around. Our utilities were easy to reach and worked well, including a heated water hook-up (handy here in the winter), and our Verizon service worked well without a booster. The park is pretty tight on space and low on grass for dog walking, but they do offer a reasonably sized dog run and there is an open field behind that park that worked well for us. There is only a little road noise, thanks to their privacy wall, but there is a lot of coming and going throughout the park (though every car that passed, drove slowly, and I didn’t hear a single car stereo). This CG is more expensive than what we usually pay for this type of site/location, and their actual pricing is a little different/vague from what I saw on their website - nightly we paid $44.18: $38 for March/Winter + $1 resort fee + $1 pet fee + $4.18 tax.

Admittedly, Fernley is an ‘on-the-way’ location for most travelers so having a well managed, clean, safe and friendly place is what you want. This is just that.

This is just that. Really clean and well laid out bathrooms and site layouts are very well done. The folks are helpful, the place relatively quiet, and while Nevada looks like Afghanistan with gambling, we had great sunsets and quiet Saturday night, just what you want after an I-80 drive.

We stayed here en route from California to Idaho. This isn't a destination RV resort. It is a passing-through kind of place (for us).However, I would say about 50% of the slots seem to be occupied by people who live there full-time. They did have drive through spots and a lot of trees (which is unusual in this part of Nevada). ...moreWe stayed here en route from California to Idaho. This isn't a destination RV resort.

I have nicely spaced pull thru sites with some back-ins. The sites have level concrete pads with a grass area along side. No Table or fire pit. There is a Rec. room and laundry which we did not use. There are some long term guests but the place is neat and tidy. The wi-fi is among the best we've used at an RV park. We were able to stream some videos with no problem. The staff is very friendly and helpful, someone guides you to your site explains the hook ups asks if you have any questions and is off. Among the best RV park staff we've come across.

Fairgrounds in Fallon, but we were shut out this trip by an equestrian event. A quick search (thank you Campendium) landed us at Desert Rose in nearby Fernley. We called first and made a quick reservation, which I highly recommended as they were full by 5pm. Super friendly and helpful staff and a very clean, well maintained park. Many sites have a little grass and a shade tree. The pull-throughs were just large enough to allow to stay hooked up, but the back-in sites along the fence looked very tiny.Expect road noise from Hwy 50. This is a fairly large RV park so there was also a lot of traffic in/out as residents come and go. Sites are typical for a private RV park, too close for comfort but it filled the bill for a night’s stay. There’s a rec room, showers/bathrooms, and a coin laundry. Riley appreciated the fenced off-leash dog area. (Note: the park excludes specific breeds including Rottweiler, Doberman, Pitbull and Wolf breeds. I hate those policies, but good to know up front.)The nightly rate was $38 but then they tacked on a $2 resort fee and a $1 pet fee and then taxes. They offer several discounts including Good Sam, AAA, PA. After all the pluses and minuses, our nightly fee was $40.96.We had 3 bars of Verizon 4G. Their wifi worked fairly well, enough to get my Campendium reviews posted. ????

It is a Passport America park but the PA minimum is two days and we only overnighted.

This is the only PA park in the area and we wanted to see Reno on our way to Vegas. The park is very nice, and the sites are large. Close to Fernley and not too far from Reno.

There was some road noise as well as park resident late night in-and-out, but it’s to be expected when ‘camping’ in town.There are several separated, fenced-in dog areas, which is something we’ve not seen in our 16 months of travelling. It was very nice to have an individual separated area for my dog to run around in.Check-in was pleasant, and we were escorted to our site via golf cart.

I was greeted by name and shown to my site without waiting. The front desk staff were welcoming and my escort to my site was friendly. There are small patches of grass in between sites, some with trees. It was lovely to sit outside and relax, except for the mosquitoes and gnats. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here for one night in early April. We have a B Van, so they put us in a back-in site. We didn't really have a place to sit outside the van, but it was just a one nighter.

We didn't really have a place to sit outside the van, but it was just a one nighter. The office was being renovated, so we had to knock on a window to check in, but the office staff was friendly. They send someone in a golf cart to lead you to your site and ensure that you get set up okay. It felt a little parental, but the fellow didn't linger longer than necessary.My favorite thing about the place was the community room. Unlike many places where showers are in one area, laundry in another, etc, this building had private shower rooms, laundry, and a tv all in one place. It was great to pop clothes in the wash, jump in the shower, pop clothes in the dryer, and then watch tv until it was dry. The tv is a smart tv, but it didn't seem to be set up yet, and the cable wasn't working that night (see below). Still, this community room with secure bath, laundry, and tv is brilliant. They had games, couches and comfy chairs. I chatted for a while with a long-term resident and elderly his mother. Really nice people. The park was nice and quiet through the night.One issue: The circuit for the cable box for the whole place is on the power pillar for, you guessed it, site 47(I think). We inadvertently cut cable to everyone along two rows of the park by turning off all circuit breakers on our post before hooking up, and then turning on only the one we were actually using. It's kinda funny, kinda weird, but also easily fixed. It's a known problem and happens regularly. When I found out what happened, I just made an executive decision to put duct tape over the switch related to everyone's cable. Future problems solved!I would say the two biggest cons are that he highway is right over a concrete sound barrier, but inside the van, I didn't hear it. It is also a positive attribute since it's an easy place to stop over if traveling Highway 50. My least favorite thing about the place is that it was pretty dark at night. They need more lights along the park roadway. Walking back from the community room with my laundry, it was hard to see where I was going.

We decided to stay there to avoid the winter storm and ended up staying 4 days. It was a pleasant surprise. Super friendly staff, very level sites, large and clean washrooms. Lots of seasonals, but it is winter, so no one is outside!

Stayed here because of snow on roads. Nice and friendly, supper clean and roomy full bathroom/ showers. Would stay here again to refresh. Level pads.

If you're just looking for a place to overnight on the road to somewhere else, then this is probably okay. Crammed spacing on the back-in sites. Center pull-throughs reserved for big Class A and 5th wheels at least have a little grass. The woman who checks you in is a bit officious and off-putting (or maybe I was just tired).

Center pull-throughs reserved for big Class A and 5th wheels at least have a little grass. The woman who checks you in is a bit officious and off-putting (or maybe I was just tired). It didn't feel like a good value for the nightly rate, but it did the job for one night. Also, on the plus side, the private restroom/showers were really, really, really nice. Very clean and modern.

Place was fine, we wanted full hook-ups so this fit the bill. Lots of full time residents here, which always makes the place feel different.

When we asked the staff to check on a constantly barking dog, it turned out to be a resident and they blinked. OK. The clubhouse was older but very clean. Loved the fact that each shower and bath was a private room, super nice. Laundry was immaculate and only $1.50 per wash, $1.00 to dry. Note that this is right along Highway 50 so the road noise is noticeable. Sites were level and paved. Not good Verizon service at all.

They are a Passport America Park although they manage to add a "resort fee" to make it more than 1/2 price. The price listed is what they charged me. Normal rate is $35.00 per night. Water pressure was around 55 lb, electric was good, and they have cable although we didn't use it. The clubhouse was very clean and nice, bathhouse was clean. We are still trying to figure out where the "resort" is but for our needs this was a nice campground.
