Discover Washoe Lake State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

When most people book an RV in Washoe County, they head straight for Lake Tahoe on the border of northern California and Nevada.

Washoe Lake is almost 6,000 acres in size and boasts year-round RV camping, hiking, boating, and fishing. The lake is located in Washoe Valley, a scenic valley full of farmland between the rugged granite Sierras and the silver-rich Virginia Range.

Getting Outdoors

Washoe Valley has some great year-round recreational opportunities, though it can occasionally snow on the valley floor during the winter. There are numerous trails on the south side of the lake, with a network of unpaved trails for all skill levels in the hills to the southeast. These trails will offer stunning views of Washoe Lake, backdropped by the mighty Sierra Nevadas. There’s also a one-mile Wetlands Loop on the south side of the park. This marshland is full of waterfowl and is a stark contrast to the arid trails just a couple of miles away.

Camping at Washoe Lake State Park

The campground at Washoe Lake State Park is open year-round and features 49 sites suitable for RV rentals up to 45 feet in length. Each campsite is equipped with picnic tables, a fire ring, and grill. Some sites even include shade structures, but they're first-come, first-served. Washoe Lake is in a scrub valley, and most vegetation is only sagebrush, so the shades are valuable on a hot sunny day. There are no hookups at any of the RV campsites, but there's a dump station in the campground.

Exploring the Area

This area of northern Nevada is full of rich history, stunning scenery, and never-ending recreational opportunities. World-renowned Lake Tahoe and Lake Tahoe State Park are just 45 minutes to the west. Summer activities include boating and hiking, and winter activities include skiing and snowboarding. The Carson River, 30 minutes to the south, also offers fishing and boating opportunities.

Jourden and her family were very nice and very prompt with all communication. They got us on the road quickly and drop off was a breeze. The trailer had one minor issue but overall is in very good condition. It's a great trailer for a family of 4 or even 5 if someone doesn't mind sleeping on the bed that is a converted table area (and those all have cushioning that's on the thin side). The trailer is very well stocked with a good asortment of pots and pans and tableware, and even a outdoor folding table. It's also all very well organized in bins and compartments.
