Carson city RV park???

Only problem with Washoe lake is the wind. Davis Creek near there is in the trees and sheltered better from the wind.

Washoe Lake State Park
We haven't tried this place out yet, but its on our list of places to stay next fall and looking forward to it.

We've stayed at Sparks Marina a couple of times in our old 35' coach. Even with it, we found it difficult to make the turn off of McCarran onto Lincoln. I would not attempt this turn in our 44' coach. If I ever return there, I would get off on Sparks Blvd and then make my way (very carefully) through the two round-a-bouts on Lincoln. Even this way is not preferable to me. So, we have changed out stop for the day at Silver City RV park in Carson city. Plus being able to get fuel there so easily, is a huge plus.

I do agree, it's a very nice park, but the pull throughs are not long enough to keep your toad attached. They did allow us to do just that, but they had to put orange cones around the rear of the toad sticking out into the drive way. Also, last time we were there was during spring time and the front of the coach was covered with suicidal bugs. I was washing them off (with hose and squeegee and promptly got chewed out by management. Said no washing of coaches was allowed....even the windshield if using a water hose.

X2, I stayed there with a Heartland Rally group for 4 days. Sites are large, clean, easy to pull through and leave. Young couple just took over as managers who were very friendly and helpful. You need to make sure your GPS is hooked up as you drive there as it is not a direct shot off the freeway. There are a number of large shopping malls within 10 min. Of course Casinos are near by if you like good food and the **** tables:)

Before attending a family reunion in Reno in '14 I did a lot of research and we stayed at Gold Ranch Casino & RV Resort in Verdi. I know it's a ways from Carson City, but with the good freeways and moving traffic (compared to what most of us get to experience anymore) I recommend Gold Ranch highly. Right on I-80 at Calif. line, the campground sits back far enough that highway noise was not obtrusive to us. The place was clean and well-maintained, staff was friendly, and I will stay there the next time we go to the Reno area. Our Sept., 2014 back in rate: $32.25/night.

Thanks for clearing all this up.

In the end Silver City RV Resort would be a good choice.

Ok i am getting picky here now. There is no Carson county. There used to be Ormsby county of which Carson City was in but it is now just Carson City. All the rv parks suggested are close enough to be considered Carson City.

You are correct, Carson City and the old Ormsby County were consolidated and are now one. It is called Carson City. The City has the same geographical boundaries as the old Ormsby County that includes a portion of Lake Tahoe abutting the California line in the middle of the lake. But, for this discussion all the RV parks are close enough or inside Carson City. Comstock is on the southern end of Carson City, Gold Dust West is about a mile east of downtown, Camp in Town is north of downtown about a mile and a half and Silver City is just south of Carson City. None are in Minden.

The RV park in Minden is associated with the Carson Valley Inn and is a very nice park.

Carson City and Carson County are the same including the county and city geographical area. The southern boundary is Clear Creek where Costco and the Bodines casino are. Silver City RV park is less than two miles from Carson City. It is in Douglas County. It is not in the town of Minden.
