Sparks Marina RV Park

I love this place. I've been here for several months and everything is wonderful. However the hot tub is closed at 5:00 p.m. I don't get home until 4:30 so for me to use the hot tub is impossible. It would be nice to have a hot tub available until at least 8:00 p.m.

Sites were large and paved, turf grass, clean and modern bathroom/showers, quiet after 11pm even being so close to Reno. They call to verify your dates which was great as I had put in the wrong one! She quickly changed the reservation to the correct date with no hassle or cost. Staff all courteous and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

I’m incredibly conflicted with this park. It does many things very well. It is very clean and extraordinarily quiet at night. Staff is great and helpful. BUT, these sites are so incredibly close together that it is obvious that maximizing park revenue was the primary concern, not the comfort of the guests. You only get 10 or so feet of “front yard before you run into your neighbors trailer. And their electrical pedestal is right in the middle of your patio and their sewer clean out is just off to the side. Having said that, for as tight as it is, it works relatively well. The artificial turf at the sights is pretty much gross at this point and the fact that there is no dog potty spots outside of the 3 dog runs on the perimeters makes getting dogs to the potty in the middle of the night an ordeal, and sometimes impossible. It feels that most guests are seasonal and working folks which probably explains the quiet nights. There are vehicles everywhere and many guests have two vehicles per site that are Tetrised in wherever they fit. Would I go back? Absolutely, and I’ll probably keep complaining about how tight it is, but it’s about as good as it gets in Reno. I just wish they would have given a little extra space and charged a little more. There is a market in Reno for someone to open a top tier park that puts guest comfort first even if it comes at a premium. While this park is nice, it is not that.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others. My husband and I are moving from Washington to Arizona and chose Sparks Marina RV Park to stay in Reno while visiting our kids along the way. We drive a 40ft Class A pulling an enclosed trailer, and my 80-year-old dad following in our truck towing a boat. I called ahead and was told the truck and boat could be accommodated but would cost extra—we declined and planned to only bring the RV and trailer for the stay at the resort. When we arrived, my dad pulled in behind us (just to follow through the entrance, not to stay). Immediately, a man—presumably the owner—stormed over and became aggressively hostile. Despite calmly explaining that my dad would leave right after we unhooked, he yelled that we were told not to bring the truck (not true) and ordered us off the property. No conversation. No decency. Just threats to withhold our refund and to leave immediately. I’ve never experienced such unprofessional, hostile treatment in any business. The staff on golf carts were kind—but the man in charge? Absolutely toxic. Read the bad reviews. We wish we had. This is not a safe or welcoming place, especially if you're traveling with family. And read the rules carefully.. this is not a kid or dog friendly place.

I have stayed here twice while visiting our daughter. The staff is friendly, the area is well kept and the check in is easy. Unfortunately the internet is not usable. I don't think they maintain the system. They should not advertise it as an amenity. I reported the issue to the staff on both visits and they say to keep trying. The issue seems to be poor network quality as the wifi signal strength is strong. Maybe they should offer a slightly lower rate for guests that don't want to pay for non existent internet?The other issue we have is with the dog runs. They look great but the pee smell is so strong you want to leave right away. I don't know what could be done about that. It's pretty standard for rv parks.
