Stories from the community

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Such an amazing overall experience! The farm workers were all so friendly! My kids (4 and 2) absolutely had a blast feeding the alpacas! Would definitely come back and recommend!

3 nights at Village Camp Truckee

Wonderful experience, we'll definitely be back. Facilities are clean, upgrades to the grounds are in progress, all services are available at your designated spot. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Thanks!

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Stacey was an informative, welcoming, and sweet host! We loved loving on all of her animals. Thank you!!

2 nights at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

This ranch is amazing!!! Prompt responses from my host. You can come and go with ease, feel safe in the presence of all the animals and the area is amazing. Close to Carson city and a quick drive to Reno. I highly recommend. The price was also super fair and spacious to fit my toy hauler. Come check it out. It was great

Weekend Trip to L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Had a great time with the Alpacas and other farm animals. It's a working ranch so don't think amenities, which is what we liked about it. You are free to roam and the views are amazing. We'll be back.

2 nights at Lahontan Shores High Desert Retreat

Such a peaceful spot! The view over the lake was gorgeous, especially at sunset, and I loved how quiet it was at night. The dirt road was a little bumpy, but totally worth it. --- I'd definitely come back.

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

The animals were wonderful and the site is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your alpacas, lamas, angora goats (babies), chickens, ducks, dogs, and Donkeydonk with me. Sure I left something out. Very peaceful!

Weekend Trip to L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Gorgeous land with sweet animals! We were there on a chilly night and were looking forward to a fire, but the two fire rings were taken already. Nonetheless would stay again! Hosts were very nice!!

2 nights at Historic Ranch In Yerington

Brad is a fantastic host. We were among his first ‘hipcampers’. We got a flat on the way and had to be towed to site. Brad was very accommodating and offered to drive me in the quest for a new tire. We had a group campfire and enjoyed each other’s company. We parked on the side of a big shed and it was very private. The side is about a mile from the city which offered all the amenities. Including a RV repair and tire shop!

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

This place is Extraordinary! Holy moly! My girlfriend and I had an amazing stay here. The alpacas are so fun to be around, they will definitely get you laughing. Donkydonk (donkey) was such a sweetheart. They have super chilll goats but heads up they will try to eat your straw hat. They have a great breakfast basket. Also can’t beat being under a-hour to Lake Tahoe. Truly a hidden gem this place is! I would 100% recommend everyone to visit.

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Stacey is very responsive and kind, Jimmy (I forgot his name) the substitute host was also so kind and welcoming, the scenery and area is gorgeous and pastoral, the animals were a delight (there were also the tiniest of tiny baby angora goats!!!!) the porta potty did not stink, there was some extra wood to burn. Would definitely stay here again, thanks so very much!

Weekend Trip to L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

The land was beautiful and the Alpacas were absolutely adorable. There were also baby goats that were born the morning we arrived. The check-in process could have been smoother. We arrived on bikes and wandered around a bit before we were able to find a gentlemen that showed us around and let us know where we were supposed to pitch our tents. The camping area was a nice flat and open field, but didn't have any sort of shade, table or bench. The potable water was from a tap in an area labeled as "private property, keep out", but one gentleman said we could use it. However, the next morning when we went to fill our water bottles before cycling out, a barking dog came barreling towards us upon entering the area and a different gentleman was there who accused us of leaving a gate open the previous night. When asked which gate and when, he couldn't answer and then tried to backpedal. There were several other RVs and campers there coming and going, and we were sure to close the gate when we came and left, so we weren't entirely sure where this hostility was coming from. Overall we were happy with our experience, but it did have some strange vibes and we didn't feel entirely welcome.

Weekend Trip to Water front on Topaz Lake

This place is absolutely amazing! Very clean, beautiful views, sites right on the water. We booked over Easter weekend and were the only ones there. It was heaven! Perfect weather and they provided fire wood, complimentary.

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

Glamping was a breeze! The sleeping area was clean and had so much space. I used my sleeping bag for extra warmth at night, but there was a propane heater for use if you need it. The alpacas were my main draw and I’m so glad I was able to interact with them. They were very friendly and very curious about the dog I had with me. I enjoy the fact that I was able to feed the animals with feed they provided at their shop! Each paid campsite gets a free bucket of feed. They have two guardian dogs that patrol the area and protect the livestock, and they were very friendly. Overall a very enjoyable time. I added a breakfast to my trip and I loved it! My dog also had a very enjoyable time smelling all the smells and interacting with the animals.

1 night at Historic Ranch In Yerington

This spot was conveniently located and had plenty of room for RVs, tents, and even car campers like me. The host was super welcoming—he’s an author and knows a ton about the local history. We ended up sipping beers and watching the moonrise, which was a perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend if you're looking for a laid-back place with good energy and even better stories.

Weekend Trip to Water front on Topaz Lake

This site was amazing! The views and access were wonderful and clean bathrooms were very much appreciated! Thank you for hosting such a great place!

Weekend Trip to Water front on Topaz Lake

Great location, great campground and an awesome host!

2 nights at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

We loved tent camping in Stacey's land. The hosts were so welcoming and responsive. It was so peaceful with beautiful views of the night sky and snowy mountains. The animals were so lovable and curious. Every single one with its own cute personality. Loved the 20 year old donkey who loved eating carrots and apples. What an amazing experience!

1 night at Water front on Topaz Lake

Great site, perfect midway point between southern sierra’s and Bay Area that’s very peaceful and clean. Site was a bit hard to find as the billboard says something else but you’ll figure it out. Clean bathrooms too. Just wish host was a bit more communicative but no worries, we figured it out

1 night at L.Davis Ranch and Olde LYFE Alpacas

It was so fun to tent camp amongst alpacas! They were curious, but kept their distance. The sunrise and sunsets were gorgeous and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

RV camping near Carson City guide

Overview

Nevada's capital, Carson City stretches from the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada mountain range to the banks of Lake Tahoe—in a prime location for traveling RV campers passing through. Lake Tahoe is undoubtedly the most popular spot for RVers near Carson City, as this giant crystal clear lake is ringed with RV campgrounds in spots from Incline Village and Sand Harbor to Zephyr Cove and South Lake Tahoe. The California side of the lake offers even more options. To park your rig, look for a campsite with lake views, full hookups, and firepits, or head into the more secluded Tahoe National Forest for quiet, dispersed camping farther from the water. No matter where you park it, you'll want to wake up for boating, fishing, and swimming around the famous lake. Nearby Washoe Lake State Park also welcomes hikers, mountain bikers, and RVers—its campsites offer different levels of electrical hookups as well as potable water. Carson City RV campers are drawn to private RV spots as far south as the Bridgeport Reservoir, about 90 minutes away, for trolling, still-fishing, and fly-fishing. On the days where it’s too hot or cold to fish, swim, or hike, head into Carson City to explore the historic capitol building, State Railroad Museum, or Nevada State Museum,.
