Rest Area, Truck Stop or WALMART in HWY 80 E after Reno, NV

This Labor Day weekend, DW and I are leaving for Ely, NV from the Bay Area to meet up with our daughter and her family. Any Rest Area, Truck Stop or WALMART to catch a few winks in HWY 80 E after Reno, NV? Leaving after work Friday so we are probably in Reno area at Zero Dark Thirty.

Thanks,
-Virgil

  • Thank you Nevadanick. I called Cabelas and they allow one night overnight parking. I saw the satellite image and they have a longer parking spot for semis and RV's
  • Now that i think about it, if it was me i would stay at Cabelas near Boomtown.

    Stay at a truck stop, park between two refrs that'll do ya. We did at 1:30 am, drove way too long but slept like a baby with all that humming going on.:B
  • This website (app is available) RvParky.com is one I utilize often and has accurate up to date info. Their info does show rest stops on I-80 and indicates that many area Walmarts prohibit overnighting on their premises.
  • There is a WalMart in Fernley where you pick up 50 to Ely, there is also one in Fallon.
