Nice place to stay for the night, power hook ups and bathrooms/showers were nice and clean. Can’t beat the price!

Great price and lots of space in the field. We have stayed here twice now and love having our own space out in the field. They do have full hookup sites that are harder to reserve but the field is always open and has water and electricity. They have bathrooms and showers too that are nice and clean and have lots of hot water. It’s walking distance to main street and even closer to Schat’s Bakery! They do not allow tent camping however which is important to know. Some incredible views of the Sierras too.

I love it here. Im a travel nurse and NO WHERE else had long term sites available. They are so accommodating and I love how close everything is. I also love having access to the fairgrounds. Price is amazing, and all utilities included. I want to stay here forever! Oh and I do have great neighbors. Very close sites, but my 39ft fiver and my car fits, gotta park my truck in the parking lot tho. Its safe and I can see it from my couch, so its ok. Me and my two lil pups give it a 10 out of 10! Only thing lacking is laundry, but there is one in town, so I'll live, lol.

Mule Days is awesome! Rich in history and entertainment. I came with the One Spade Youth Packers and they are such an amazing group. The campground was nice, bathrooms were clean. The backdrop of the snowcapped mountains beyond the arena was gorgeous! I look forward to coming here again.

We were traveling to southern california for a wedding and wanted a stop midway from Reno so decided to stay here. Very small park and you go out the way you go in. If towing a vehicle you will need to disconnect as all sites are back in. The park host Kim was very helpful and friendly. There is no office so you need to get with the camp host with any questions. Our 38 foot motorhome just fit in our space and we had to park our jeep in the parking lot. You do have the run of the fairgrounds and some nice grass area if you have dogs. Most of the tenants appear to be local wirkers but the place was neat. For us was a cheap place to stay with full hookups for the night
