I was informed that the motel had been sold and the RV park would be closed down. Several sites had already been torn up during this visit. This will make staying in Fernley a little harder, only one other park in town. New Wal Mart going in across the street, might be OK for rest stop when completed. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Check in was courteous and quick. The sites are adequate for a 40' MH with slides, toad has to be unhooked and parked along side. Electric was good, ran both airs with no problem. This is a one night park and serves that purpose. Didn't care for the indoor pool, hot and humid inside. Shopping center nearby. Rv area is behind the motel, I had a quiet night. Easy off and on to I-80, or to hwy 50. We camped here in a Motorhome.
While Best Western provides adequate Motel Rooms for rent they should have stayed out of the RV Park business. This Rv park is attached to the Motel. It is totally asphalt and conctrete. The AC Power is deploreable. The receptionist didn't have a clue about the park and directed us to an occupied spot. It is clear that this park caters to permanent residents as evidenced by the long term sites being trashy and cluttered. People let their dogs run lose. They suggest reservations probably due to the size of the park and the number of long term residents. I say skip it. We made a mistake! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice for a short stay. Great indoor pool and washer/dryer setup. Large sites, quiet and close to restaurant's/casino's. All paved and well taken care of. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here using our Passport America and Good Sam memberships. We would stay here again. Very well kept park and personnel are excellent. Close to freeway but high concrete wall lessens the noise. Large sites with concrete and small grass area. Nice laundry/recreation room with excellent individual showers and toilet facilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My first 10. You've GOT to check out their bath/shower rooms: gigantic, all-in-one private bath suites, and immaculate. Sites long and level, strong wifi, manicured lawns. Their best asset (aside from the bathrooms) is their workampers. They treat you like family. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Staying here for a week based on previous reviews. They didn't lie. Our site was long enough for our 36 footer and toad. Would stay here again when in the area. No pool, that's ok. No shade, but we are here in Nov. High wall to keep down road noise and wind. Very friendly staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very friendly staff. They escort you to the site and tell you where all the hook ups are. One of the cleanest restroom shower area we have ever seen. A no frill park. No swimming pool, but you get free WiFi. A pretty descent cable selection. A nice clean park with a friendly staff for only $17.00 on Passport America you can't beat it. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Reserved for one night, stayed for three days. Wonderful place with nice management. We had a water leak and needed pipe fittings so went to Ace Hardware in town. Huge inventory for a small town store. Had everything we needed. Would stay at Desert Rose anytime we are in the area. Highly recommend it to everyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.
WOW ! Everything said here is true ! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice staff, nice park and a welcome relief from the RV Parks in Reno. Well worth the 30 mile drive if you feel you MUST go to Reno! New casino in the area, Hwy 50 has had improvements, along with a "sound wall" for the park! Quiet and nice. Will come again when passing through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice staff, friendly. Grounds clean. We had 3 rigs and stayed side by side. Pull Throughs were able to handle 37' Motorhome and toad without sticking out into access lanes. I would highly recommend this park for overnighters or longer if you had an agenda in the area, we were on our way to the coast and stayed here going and return trip for 1 night each. Shade is getting there, but trees are smaller right now. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Will do for an overnight stop. Not much else here. Small , no frills. Extremely friendly staff. Short pull throughs, had to overhang on both ends with my 36 footer and toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the nicest RV parks we have stayed at. We are senior citizens, traveling in a 40' motorhome and what we look for is a nice, clean park with level sites, 50 amp, WiFi (very important), and friendly people. This park has all that and is very reasonable at $16 with Passport America ($26 without). PA is good for 3 days then 2 days at regular rate, then PA again. It was quit warm and windy when we were here, but we would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very well-organized and managed park. There are small trees and grass but no shade yet. There is a large sound wall/wind break between the park and Alt50. The only negative was the mosquitoes - large and numerous, and hungry. The utilities including wifi are very strong. Concrete level parking pads with some asphalt and gravel roads in the park. We plan to stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great alternative to the higher price spots in Reno (approx 25 miles). Home town casino nearby. Attractive place with large restrooms and spacious showers--maybe not elegant but certainly lots of rooms and plenty of hooks and bench to make it an easy trip. Park is still pretty young so trees are not large so do not expect major shade from trees. We camped here in a Motorhome.
You know those signs you see that say,"clean up after yourself, your mother don't work here" ? Well I am convinced she must. This is without any doubt the very cleanest R.V. park in the land. The showers just have to be seen to be appreciated, they even smell fresh all the time. We travel a great deal and have stayed in some pretty nice places, but this place wins all the cookies. Is there an 11 I can give them? We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
A newer park with additions being added. Friendly staff. Sites are level with lots of room. A sound-barrier wall has been erected on the highway side. Our rate reflects Passport America. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park, friendly staff, exceptional shower and restroom facilities (individual rooms, large, included bench in shower) that included laundry and lounge with sofas and reading material. Next to hwy (Alt 50) but we weren't disturbed by noise. Pull-thru sites side-by-side, but angled and not intrusive to neighbors. Very clean and quiet. 37' motorhome with toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easily located off Alt-Hwy-50; friendly staff; level wide paved spaces, telephone at site $1 or modem at laundry room; 8 separate lockable bathrooms each with toilet, sink, shower (very clean); propane; cable TV. Great one-night stop for us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff. We came for 1 night and stayed a week. We had to leave for 2 days and they allowed us to stay in our site (connected) for a little over $5.00 a day. The front sites have a grass lawn with plenty of room between sites, back sites do not have grass. Only down side to resort was the train tracks and Hwy 50 nearby which disrupted our sleep the first night only. Great home base to explore Fallon, Dayton, Carson City and of course Reno/Sparks. There is a golf course next door to the rv park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Excellent park! Very clean and restroom/showers are like a private home bathroom and all
are handicap equipped. Staff is beyond friendly and very helpful. A good home base to do Virginia City and Lake Tahoe or Carson City all within an hour drive. I would give this campground a perfect 10 if it had a pool. Most all sites are long pull thrus where you don't have to unhook your tow for short stays. Beautiful landscaped lots and well manicured. A little ways out of town but the camp store carries a nice selection of items. The name fits it as it is a rose in the desert. Nice country setting away from the big city of Reno. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Friendly check in. Think new owner/managers. Quiet, clean and efficient. If you are not interested in stopping in Reno this is an adequate stop just outside Reno without the lights and distractions of that city. We camped here in a camper.
Don't know the rate, we were passing through. I wonder if we pulled into the same "park" as the last reviewer??? Ours was full of permanent residents, loose and nasty rottweilers and void of anyone that would assist us. We stayed at the Desert Rose, up the road...no comparison. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wonderful RV Park just 30 miles east of Reno. So much nicer than the parking lot campgrounds in Reno. Each site had a telephone hookup and cable TV. The restrooms are spotless. There is also a nice laundry room. The pull thru sites are all cement pads with a little strip of grass. Plently of lighting if you arrive after dark. Park staff is very friendly and most helpful. Park is just off I-80 with easy exit and return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
