Campgrounds in/near Reno?

Heading from BC to Reno in Sept. Anyone have campground suggestions in/near Reno? Are casino CGs as good as any?

We're northerners and used to lots of trees. Is there such a thing as a CG there with maybe at least a few token palm trees? Or are we going to die from heat exhaustion in the wide open spaces? :B

    We stayed at Rivers Edge, a very well maintained cg beside the Truckee river. The only downside was that is directly under the final approach path to the airport, a little unsettling at first. Fortunately the flights end at 9 pm.

    Sparks Marina is a great park..just east of Reno. You will never know it's a different town as they are joined together.

    No trees, but you won't find many trees in Reno.

    Or you could get your tree fix at Lake Tahoe. :)
