    This place was so so amazing. The camp host Brad was an absolute Legend giving us knowledge about areas near by and some History. Beautiful grass areas and the river had multiple areas to relax and meet wonderful people. Manager was so nice and kind and asked how things were going and if we needed anything. Our cats loved it. Checkout these beautiful pictures.

    Site #14. Only 50 amp so bring a converter or rent one from the office for $20.

    Wow. What a find. Right in the heart of Reno yet very peaceful and filled with nature and trees. Full hook ups. Beware that this is an old park so you'll need lengthy sewer hoses and water hoses. Very easy to find. It's less than a mile from 80. Helpful and kind front office. We love this place already and we've not even been here 24 hours. Highly recommend!

    This place is awesome. The bathroom and showers were amazing. Laundry facility was fantastic. Will stay here again. Everyone we talked to were great, nice and quiet. And the sound of the river was beautiful.

    Very friendly staff and neighbors. The resort lines the truckee river and is beautiful! Many long term sites are fenced in and private for a month to month stay. We were sad to leave..As they are doing construction and lots of improvements to the property! Noise was never an issue and we felt right at home.

    What a lovely, clean, safe place to stay! We spent one night here in a spot backed up to the river. What a beautiful view! Checking in was easy, we were walked right to our spot by such a nice and friendly man who was a co-owner of the resort. I took a morning walk all around the park early this morning. It was quiet, very clean, and felt very safe. The park was full, some travelers some residents, but everyone had beautiful clean spaces, no clutter around anywhere. There are plenty of trash and around but there was no sign of bugs or critters or what you can find at campgrounds. We used the bathrooms, including the showers. They were also clean and did not disappoint with supplies: full length mirrors, combination lock on the main entry door and all the stalls and shower, and plenty of soap and towels at the sink. The shower stream was strong and there was plenty of hot water, a camper treat! We will definitely suggest this place to friends and come back if we come this way again.

    My wife and I were coming up through Reno and needed a place to stay on a late Sunday evening. We parked in front after hours and Dale immediately came to our rescue. The dude is amazing! Helped us out in a pinch, got us all set up, and even sat on the grass with us to provide some local restaurants and things to do! We had planned on staying one night but liked it so much we stayed another. Highly recommend the river front spot, it's beautiful. Nice bathrooms, showers, and laundromat. Perfect location to spend a night or a few months

    Our set up. You can see the clearly river from it, but not in the picture.

    Loved our stay at River West. We stayed in a river-facing RV spot and had a great time. The staff was super friendly and helpful, especially Dale the night manager who helped us with check-in and parking, and gave great recommendations of the stuff to check out in Reno. We stayed for 4 nights and I totally would return again. The resort is centrally located about a mile from downtown Reno with the main casinos and about an hour-ish from lake Tahoe. Not many amenities offered, but the bathrooms and showers were clean and had hot water. That was all we needed.

    We decided to stay at River West Resort for Hot August Nights! We wanted to bring our RV and enclosed trailer this time. We picked the best place to stay. The night manager, Dale is absolutely the best! All the staff is very friendly. The resort also has beautiful cottages for family and friends to rent too! It's very quiet and sits along the Truckee River. It is also located short distances to most of the Hot August Nights show and shines. We had a crew of 4 couples and we all enjoyed it so much we are planning the same trip next year!

As we were unloading and started to walk down to the bank another two trucks pulled up. They were friendly with kids, and a huge German Shepherd! Glad he was on a leash. Out of 7 rods in the water and a few boats passing, no one had either a bite or a fish. An hour and half oases and another big group arrives and scatters. I was ready to go, didn't feel like the fish were hungry(but I was)!... I was really impressed with the bathrooms. Extremely clean and sufficient Tp!

    Beautiful campground in Chilcoot!!! Conveniently located 40 minutes from Sparks/Reno. Look…read morecarefully at the campsite map and pick one the sites that backup to the Little Last Chance Creek. We had # 10 and it is probably the best site , you can't get your tent any closer to that creek. I would recommend #7, #10and # 25 for creek access, #9 is also a great spot but I believe it's first come first served only. I saw a few beautiful trout pulled out of the creek in the evenings when the sun is setting and the bugs come out! Don't bother fishing in the middle of the day, I'd say early morning till 9:00am and evenings after 7:00pm. The creek is an awesome place to hang on a hot day, lots of shade from the trees, water was pretty chilly in late June, quite a bit colder than the Truckee River but definitely worth doing a cold plunge or two!! No showers but they do have flush toilets and water spigots. A picture is worth 1000 words so I'll let my pictures speak for themselves......

    If I'm the first to review, I can't wait to read the rest that are sure to follow for this great…read morecampsite! Camping is hardly a primitive activity anymore. It's more like sleeping outside, which is totally cool, but you still want to have that feeling of being off-the-grid, away from it all, in the midst of nature. With more people enjoying the activity these days, that is getting harder and harder. So for those of us seeking the traditional camping experience, we need to be a lot more selective, picking sites that provide privacy, plenty of personal space, and a natural setting we can enjoy. The Chilcoot Campground is just a few miles outside of the Frenchman's Lake Recreation Area, and approx. 5 miles up HWY 284 from the turn off Highway 70, about 40 minutes from Reno. It's heavily shaded by towering trees, offers large sites, and has flush toilets and running water too. If that isn't enough reason to stop here, the campground also has several amenities that make it a whole lot of fun. For starters, Little Last Chance Creek runs the length of the campground, and there are even sites that back right up to it. It doesn't move that fast, so swimming and wading are both options, and there are even some small brook trout to be caught, if you have the patience. There's also a path that runs along the creek, offering everyone in the campground access to the water. The path eventually takes you out of the campground, following the creek, offering some opportunities to get a bit of privacy from the other campers, and there are some great pools just outside that looked perfect for swimming! This campground has sites available through online reservation, but also offers first-come first-served sites as well, which is a rarity in CA. Some sites border the highway, which I wouldn't recommend, but many are partially secluded and nicely separated from the neighboring sites. Each one has a picnic table, fire ring, and you'll find a water spigot nearby for rinsing water too. The sites that border the creek are primo, as are the others on the far end of the campground, so check online to see what's there. We stayed in site 13, which was sweet! The front area was well situated with the picnic table placed appropriately, where it would receive the most shade, with the fire ring right next to it. We had ample room to setup our large camp stove, and our supplies. The site also had two large areas to setup tents, both of which were pretty well surrounded by trees, which blocked the views of other campers in adjacent sites and kept the tent cool in the hotter times of the day. On top of all this Mike, the Camp Host, was AWESOME! He really treated the whole place like it was his baby and made sure every inch was clean and clear, and guests felt right at home. I've passed this campground a million times before, but I'll never make that mistake again. It's a whole 15 minute drive to get from there to the far end of Frenchman's for fishing access, and a lot less people than in the Lake's campgrounds, meaning you can really enjoy relaxing there.

It is often simply used as overflow for the latter. However, although much smaller than Gold Lake, it is no less beautiful, and the lack of motorized watercraft give it a quieter, more serene appearance. Not camping at the time, we were simply looking for a nice lake to have a picnic by that was accessible by car. In the Lakes Basin area, in spite of what everyone says, this is no mean feat. The forest service seems to assume that the great majority of users have four-wheel-drive vehicles anyway, so no sense wasting money fixing the multitude of hazardous potholes on seemingly every access road. At this campground, we took one look at the dirt campground road and its giant potholes, and aborted an attempt to drive in. Fortunately, off the highway just south of the entrance is a large dirt area to park, fairly devoid of holes, that had a walk-in path to the campground and the lake. Goose Lake is a short walk from that parking area, and if you don't mind sitting on a rock, there is an abundance of beautiful areas to have lunch by and enjoy the water. Even if you only have a short amount of time, Goose Lake is worth a visit. The campground is small, with only 13 spots, and was quite quiet during our midday visit. The big disadvantage to this campground: no water. You would probably need to make visits to nearby Gold Lake and refill water supplies. The vault toilet was clean and relatively odor free. The daily camping fee is only $10, and does not take reservations. To reach the campground, go south on Highway 89 from Graeagle for 2 miles, then proceed south for 12 miles on the Gold Lake Highway. Definitely a four star for day use, but potholes and the lack of water knocks it down a star for camping...
