Fee was 15 dollars a night and I must say that's a pretty good damn price for such a nice campground that is well kept. Since we were just staying a night, we parked in an empty lot on the top of the left hand side of the campground. It was all gravel and had access to potable water. We were advised not to keep the hose attached, but was not an issue for us. There was an irrigation lid that resembles a sewage connection, but it did not appear to be one given there were rock down the pipe. There was a dump station free of charge so we were good to go. Definitely one of my favorite campgrounds.

I don't know. The area is big as the pictures show. There was only another couple there when we got there so it's nice and not crowded. Love the place.

It was clean. The campsites each have a firepit and a picnic table, both in good repair. There are 2 (that I could find!) pit toilet bathrooms with plenty of t.p. There is a hot spring on site (though it wasn't so hot the day we went in) that is crystal blue and beautiful and has a bench next to it for sitting. There is a shower house built adjacent to the spring that feeds water from the spring into a couple of shower heads for bathing. The shower house includes benches inside for sitting and a small library for reading. There is an information kiosk near the camp entrance with brochures about the surrounding area, and a camp billboard with your basic camp info on it. The camp host at the time obviously was interested in keeping the place nice. On top of all of this, the campground is smack in the middle of a wildlife refuge. Barren as the campsite is, the surrounding area is breathtaking and lush. During our day and a half there, we saw jackrabbits, interesting birds we've never seen before, wild horses, bats, a bunch of wild burros, and we heard coyotes at night. The sky at night will knock your socks off - you can see horizon to horizon without obstruction. I've never seen the Milky Way so clearly as I have from there. Truly amazing. :)

We've spent a lot of time in the western deserts but never up here in northern Nevada. With our 4WD vehicle, we were prepared for iffy roads but surprisingly, the road all the way out to Soldier Meadow was well graded. Not challenging at all. That said, I could see how it would be after any significant amount of rain. Plenty of potential mud spots. As it turned out, we didn't make it to the canyon due to fuel concerns but the road to Soldier Meadow was worth the drive. Next time, we'll carry an extra gas can. There's a gas station in Gerlach but it wasn't open when we drove through in the morning.

The town of Gerlach has 3 bars & the Black Rock Desert Visitor Center. There's Gerlach Water Tower Park with just a water tower & maybe a bench or table, can't remember, plus a map/brochures to pick up. Black Rock Desert Visitor Center - you can ask about the desert, some stuff for sale like sunscreen, water bottles, books, posters. There's a unisex bathroom we used - last flushed toilet for a while! We checked out Guru Rd - it's a neat dirt road with lots of folk art along the way. Pretty cool Elvis Memorial, & sayings on rocks. We turned off 12 mile access to head into the Playa. Desert is just that, sand, dirt, dried mud. Pretty neat to be able to camp in the desert with nothing around. Since it's on BLM land it's FREE to camp there. I'm not sure how they use the bathroom regular if you camp, but they brought in 8 pit toilets for us to use. Everyone was asked to bring 1 gallon of water per person/day. There's no drinking water in the desert. Got there after about 7hrs with lots of stops. Sat we just set up our tents & had a potluck dinner Dutch Over Cookoff & stuff we brought with the Friends of Black Rock. Watched some singers & kids playing with sparklers. Quiet camp is 10pm. We heard fireworks going off, not sure what time that was. Sun they had tours 8:30-2:30pm, but we could only pick one tour. I wanted them all! So we picked Solider Meadows-it's 1hr ea way to get there, several neat hot springs slightly off the trail. We saw some wild horses cross in front of the truck we were in - that was neat. After the tour we looked & found Double Hot Springs on our own. It's way neat!! One hot spring was 175 degree, the other was 180 degrees. No touching it or going in!! Too damn hot! Dinner was make your own tacos - they had drilled the meats, some cheese quesadillas, etc. Mon - some quick breakfast: muffins, oranges, bagels/cream cheese. Everyone started packing out. Leave No Trace!! Everything packed in, must be packed out. Maybe we'll go back for Hot Springs Tour & Fly Geyser!

For starters, this review isn't about the RV park, as it's about the bar and restaurant. But when…read moreI "Yelped" this place, here is where I landed. Star Point Trading Post and RV Park is a friendly outpost, located in Mill City, Nevada along I-80 about a half hour west of Winnemucca. Star has a well-equipped general store, that sells a little of everything when it comes to groceries, beer, liquor along with camping supplies, hardware and automotive supplies. But... that's not all, as there's a fantastic restaurant, that features a full-service bar, for your enjoyment! As you enter, you'll notice the cashier's station is to your immediate left, with the bar and restaurant just beyond. To your right is the general store. The building is evenly divided between the store and the restaurant. I love the giant yellow gumball machine. Dollar bills are stuck to every column in the bar area. The general store has a little bit of everything, as it's the only store for many miles. You name it, they have it, including a deli case, snacks, a few groceries, lots of beer and soft drinks, with a shelf that has a good selection of wine and liquor. The aisle in the center has a great selection of nuts and bolts, and on the other side, there is lots of camping and outdoor products. There are also automotive items, and cleaning supplies. Even though they have a near-monopoly for miles around, the prices are what you'd expect to pay if you were in downtown Winnemucca. The second page of the 7-page menu features "Burgers and Sandwiches." I was tempted to order the "Half Pound Foot Long All Beef Hot Dog," but in the end, I went with the "Half Pound Original Buster Burger." All burgers and sandwiches include cheese and a side, and the menu offers a vast assortment to choose from. To see all seven pages of the menu, From the "Burgers and Sandwiches" section of the menu, I went the "Half Pound Original Buster Burger," which seemed to be the "signature" offering on the lunch menu. All burgers include cheese, so I chose "Pepper Jack," and my side was "Crinkle Fries." When you order a burger, you are treated to a vast array of sides, along with several varieties of cheese, which is included with the price of your order. Side choices include crinkle fries, seasoned curly fries, seasoned Jojo potatoes, onion rings, baked potato, small green salad or cottage cheese. I've never seen a restaurant that offers so many choices of sides! Cheese choices include American, pepper jack or Swiss. Add-ons are available for additional $1.00 each. The burger stated out with a half-pound of ground beef, cooked perfectly medium, just the way I love it. When I placed my order, I didn't mention how I desired my meat to be cooked, but I'm sure Tara could have cooked it any way I wanted. The pepper jack cheese was melted perfectly, and the helping cheese was large. The meat and cheese was set on a large, fresh, lightly buttered and toasted roll. The fresh garnishes of lettuce, onion and tomato were placed on the plate, to be added at my discretion. This is an outstanding for a superior burger, as the 'hot' stays "hot," and the "cold' stays cold. Tara knows her burgers! The "Crinkle Fries," were deep fried to a light golden brown, and lightly salted, which made for perfect fries. Included on the side was a small cup of ranch dressing, which makes for an outstanding dip. I could have asked for ketchup or hot sauce, but I'm happy with ranch! I added the onion, lettuce and tomato, and took a bite into my burger, and was instantly in "burger heaven." The meat was lightly seasoned, juicy and tender, and I could actually taste the pepper jack cheese, which enhanced this amazing burger. The cool garnishes contrasted to the hot meat, cheese and bun, which made for one of the best burgers that I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy for a long time. Chef Tara has talent! As I enjoyed my cheeseburger, a steady stream of locals came in to purchase things in the store, pick up a newspaper, or just to chit-chat. Don knew everybody by name, as Mill City is a small community. My "Original Buster Burger" was simply delicious, the fries were amazing, the beer was cold, and the staff was super friendly. When you're in the mood for great food, and maybe you need to pick up a few supplies, stop by Star Point Trading Post and RV Park, enjoy the food, and say a friendly "hello" to Don and Tara.

My 300th review!!!…read more Water in the middle of the desert? No, wait, a wetland habitat in the middle of the desert? This must be a mirage! Nope, if you've found your way out to Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge, that's definitely water you're seeing, along with all sorts of shorebirds, herons, egrets, ducks, owls, hawks and other wildlife coming in for a bit of respite from the harsh environment around it. With most of these types of areas, my first question is always about the quality of the roads used to get around. The roads are all gravel once inside the refuge, but I can tell you that at Stillwater, in dry conditions, a car is perfectly fine. There are no dips or divots in the road a car can't handle, and definitely no clearance issues. Even when the roads are wet, there really isn't an issue. As a national refuge, this is a federally managed wetland project designed to provide habitat and attract and sustain wetland species in Northern Nevada. For birdwatchers, this place can be paradise, with several species calling the area home. The refuge has a great walking trails that take you into some unique habitat, and give you opportunities to see the diversity of wildlife in the area. I've seen all sorts of birds, as well as deer, coyotes, and more. If you have a non-motorized boat, paddling through some of the larger ponds can be a great way to spend an afternoon. They even have overnight campgrounds that are suitable for tents or RVs. I've been coming to Stillwater for the past few years, and with the drought conditions throughout the state, this place has definitely suffered. To put it in perspective, last year there were 3 large areas holding water, and in 2014 they're down to one. I'm hopeful we have a great winter that brings a lot of precipitation that will help replenish our water supply. We all know we need it!

I prefer lots of trees myself, of which there were very few. However it was VERY beautiful and we did enjoy it. There was also a wildlife viewing platform that allowed you to look out on the marshes. The bathrooms were impeccable for the "porta-potty/outhouse" type that most parks have. Talk about clean! wow! It wasn't to terribly hot in November when we went but PLEASE bring water with you, you'll want it. A jacket too if it's in the Winter months.
