Washoe Lake

Minda Beckwith

Washoe Lake State Park campground has 2 loops. Loop A has electric amd water hookup. Loop B has no hookups. It has covered picnic tables, fire rings, level parking, flush toilets, and pay showers. There are also day use areas. The lake is shallow. There is lots of sagebrush ehic makes it smell sweet. The stars are amazing. There are sites for equestrians. Camping for tents, and RVs.

Love this campground, it's energy is chill, we were able to witness baby birds being fed by their parents , there nest was in part of the structure of the cover over the picnic table. Trying to figure out how to describe that, LOL

I do like this park because of the spaciousness between sites, the wide open natural grass terrain and surrounding Mountain views. The current long-term Campground Hosts on A Loop are super available and do a great job. The wide meadow beauty and camper safety seems at risk sometimes because of the campfires combined with frequent strong breezes or winds and high temperatures. I'm surprised campfires were even allowed at all in late May within 95 plus degree heat and wind warnings (which is even more of a problem if people move their fire pits out into the grass). Perhaps the hosts or rangers (not sure there are any of the latter), could check on camp fires (and pit locations) in the late afternoon, eves and up until quiet time. People in campgrounds periodically leave their fires to burn out unattended (which seems unsafe) as well. We appreciated the Clean bathrooms, grounds, and prompt trash pickup! Be nice when the second ranger is hired so there can actually be some coverage especially evenings - given the park "day use" access never closes so visitors come in at all hours.

Lovely well kept park. Level sites, many pull through. 50 amp & water. Only concern was no one at check in, kiosk for securing ff site, and must give at least 72 hours in advance for reserving a site. Fine for locals,but thought for tourists just passing through.

Amazing views and sites are spacious. Loop A has full hookups while loop B is no hookups. Bathrooms and showers were clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. We stayed in site 34 in a 40-foot fifth wheel
