Washoe Lake

What a beautiful SP. LOVE having all of the wild horses. Nice showers.

We spent hours searching for wild mustangs and found two herds of them at Washoe State Park. The horses come down from the surrounding hills for the lake water and the green grass. Avoid scaring them away by being very quiet and sitting still in one place. Drive in very slowly. No sudden noises and don't try to get too close - they are not your barn horses and will spook and run away.

We did not stay the night, only visited as a detour from long drive. It was worth the stop. Beautiful grounds with plenty of shade. It had a boat ramp and a "kids beach". Clean restrooms. And an abundance of song birds, quail, pelicans and butterflies. Popular area for road bikes. Also noted paragliders across the road. Park personnel were friendly.

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
