Sparks Marina Rv is another good one in the Reno area, thats where we stay.

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:)

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.

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.

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