Davis Creek Regional Park

Cant understand why this place hasn’t been rated in 2 years. We have been full-timing since last August. This turned out to be one of our favorite campgrounds. Beautiful setting in the woods, yet only 15 minutes from Carson City, and 30 from Reno. Clean, lots of trails, fishing pond, and the rangers were all extremely nice. Some of the rv sites are reservable 15 days in advance. The others are FCFS. Place was full on the weekend, but cleared out Sunday afternoon.

When I booked our stay for March 2, 2022 nothing stated that the grounds weren’t very level. We had to put chocks under our vehicle tires to keep accidentally rolling downhill, then ran out of blocks to level out the back end of our trailer.
It was dark when we arrived and there were only 2 others on the grounds or we would have moved.

We came for the showers, bring quarters.
$1.50 gets you 4 minutes.
Can hear road noise from I580 but not terrible.
Sites are some level, some not. About half full when we were here. $25 for site only, no services.
Would stay again.

It’s in a decent location between Reno and Carson City. You’ll definitely hear car noise but it isn’t overly aggravating. The lower RV sites are decent but you still need to do some blocking to get your rig level. The uphill sites are tiny and I wouldn’t want to try unless I had a van or a truck camper and you’re gonna have to do some heavy duty chocking and blocking. I think the reviewer weroamandrambke covered it best. Firewood is now $8.

Davis Creek Regional Park campground is a lovely place. We camp there often. It is just off the highway, but because of all the trees, you don't hear the noise. There are trails to walk and hike and a pond for fishing.Washoe Lake is across the highway a short drive away. Bathrooms with shower are clean (shower is 4 quarters for 3 mins). Sites are spacious with plenty of room to spread out. We camp with tents and usually have more than 1 vehicle (extra vehicle $5.00) and we have plenty of room.

It is a short drive to Carson City (south) and Reno (north) if you need supplies. We love this place.

This is a nice county campground set in the trees west of 395 between Reno and Carson city. It has reasonably sized sites with tables, bear boxes, and fire pits. Running potable water and clean bathrooms with coin showers. They keep one loop open for year round camping. You can hear road noise from 395 but it is not bad.

This is a County Park, therefore, no STATE Park discounts, no Senior Citizen Discounts, no Military Discounts. Make RESERVATIONS, this is a popular campground.

Nick Steuer is the Park Ranger.

The indoor plumbing restrooms are clean & stocked, Same for the PAY type showers @ $1.00 for 3 minutes of hot water. RV campsites are SHADED, paved & level.

Tent campsites are available. There are a few FREE, shaded parking areas for CARS near the trailhead for HIKERS & nearby vault type porta-johns.

I have a hearing loss, I've not noticed the nearby highway road noise.

We had reservations at a KOA, but we were the last to get one and it was not a good site. So we kept driving and found this little gem tucked away. Campgrounds are clean, they have firewood for sale, great for families, and dogs. The only downfall are the noise of the generators. But it won’t stop me from coming again. The only thing different I would do for next time is call ahead and reserve a site. We would’ve stayed longer but we were in a reserved site.

We spent one night in the winter. The boys had a lot of fun in the snow. There was quite a bit of snow, so it was hard to find the tables and fire pits. The restrooms were open, and warm, which was very nice. There were a few other groups there, but we were pretty spaced out. I imagine this place is quite busy in the summer.

Came up here to use the dump station, since Washoe Lake State Parks was closed due to the lakes rising water table. Their dump station is on at least a 30º slope, downhill! There is no chance in heck you will get more than half you tank dumped. Driving through the campground, it is pretty, but you best be under 30’ for sure and have PLENTY of leveling material, I would guess 5% of the sites approached level. Best for tent campers.
