The surrounding landscape features the vast, open vistas of the high desert plateau, offering stunning sunset views and wide-open skies. While the immediate area is dominated by the resort complex, a short drive reveals the natural beauty of the Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir and the rugged canyons that define this remote corner of Nevada. The atmosphere is one of peaceful isolation punctuated by the nearby excitement of the town center.

Arrived at 6:30 PM tonight. Nobody was around and the office was closed. We could not get into the bathrooms, no water in any of the spots, and no clue how to get help with these issues. Nothing posted with phone numbers or anything. Just how to pay Found out you just drop $$ in an envelope....but no pen to write anything down on said envelope. Its 2025 guys....nobody has cash on them, maybe get with the times? Why am I paying full price for no water? No 50Amp plug only 30 and 20 Amp plugs. Why is it not listed or posted anywhere....like your website? Why do you leave your customers to try to do your jobs. Its ok area, your 5 feet from your neighbors, trash cans are overflowing and mutiple lights out....unsafe. We will not be back.

Staying in the rv area and loving all the grass for my dog! The rates are refreshingly reasonable. Also, spent an hour or so in the casino and made a nice little profit. Enough to cover my site and the gas money to get here. All in all, a pleasant experience.

Stayed in the park behind the casino. It was quite clean and cheap $32. Johnathan at the front desk acts as if he doesn't know anything. Perhaps he doesn't. When you ask the person that is checking you in, questions about the place. They should know or at least try to find out, not treat you like you're a bother.

This was a layover spot on our way to Yellowstone. We pulled right in and we're pleased to see several pull through sites available. No attendant but we obtained the PIN for the very clean bathroom and shower house from inside the casino. It was quiet and met our needs. Would stay here again.

Don't bother, unless your expectations are very, very low. Barely better than just boondocking in a parking lot. NO 50amp service. Very narrow pads that are made even narrower by overgrown trees & shrubs. Unattended and totally neglected. Sad.
