Walker River Resort RV Park

Overview

Walker River Resort RV Park is an expansive outdoor destination nestled in the high desert of Smith Valley, Nevada. This resort offers a unique blend of resort-style comforts and rugged natural beauty. Situated along the banks of the West Walker River, it serves as a year-round retreat for those looking to escape the bustle of city life. The property is known for its spacious layout and scenic views of the surrounding mountains and river canyon.

Location & Surroundings

The park is located in the rural Smith Valley, offering a tranquil environment far from major highways. Guests are treated to a high desert landscape characterized by sagebrush, river willows, and dramatic rock formations. The proximity to the Walker River provides a cooling influence and opportunities for water-side relaxation. This remote location ensures dark night skies, making it a premier spot for stargazing and quiet evenings under the Nevada sky.

Amenities & Park Features

The resort features a swimming pool and hot tub area that serves as a central social hub. One of its most distinctive features is the world-class sporting clays range, which attracts enthusiasts from across the region. Key facilities include:

  • Full hookup RV sites with spacious pull-through options.
  • The Bent Bar and a well-stocked onsite general store.
  • Laundry facilities and modern restroom blocks.

These amenities ensure a comfortable stay even in this remote desert landscape, providing the perfect balance between utility and leisure.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Outdoor recreation is the primary draw for visitors to this area. The Walker River is excellent for fly fishing and tubing during certain seasons. For those with off-road vehicles, there is immediate access to vast stretches of BLM land and OHV trails. Day trips are easy to Topaz Lake for boating or the historic ghost town of Bodie. The surrounding mountains offer rugged hiking trails and opportunities for wildlife viewing, including wild horses and deer.

Who This Park Is Best For

This destination is ideal for active outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hobbies like off-roading, shooting, or fishing. It is a fantastic choice for families looking for a structured resort environment that still feels connected to nature.

Very nice grounds. We didn’t stay here, came for the sporting clays. The grounds are very nice and very well kept. Lodge is very nice people a super friendly. The sporting clay course was a lot of fun. Challenging for sure. Over all great place. Plan on coming back.

Don't go here with your kids. Or at all really. I used to take my family here 2 times a year for 7 years . The owners and office workers pick and choose who has to follow the rules. Who gets away with what. They double book spots and then expect the veteran campers whom paid and reserved the YEAR PRIOR to suck it up. Then they randomly just cancel your reservation because you have a diffent opinion than them. Ill GLADLY spend my money somewhere else. 😌

A very fun place to stay with friends to camp & ride. Has a decent bar and the folks are very friendly year round. They have a shooting area for trap shooting down by the river. The views are nice from the pool area. The pool gets a little crowded in the warmer months, which a couple times witnessed some interesting interactions... The RV spots are a little too close together and this place should be paved for the prices.$$$ The dust never stops. I will never return to this place due to the ANTI Off-roading stance they have taken. There are other ways to address issues but penalizing your draw doesn't fix the problem. Hopefully the bay area yoga retreats and frisbee leagues keep your resort full.

We had a great time with our travel trailer at Walker River resort. The resort is very clean and well kept. We went midweek and it was not crowded. There was no noise and we were given a prime spot overlooking the ponds. The walk down to the river was nice. They have a gazebo and BBQs next to the river and a large grassy area as well. We will definitely be back

Walker River Resort used to be my favorite place to camp, until we came back during our 10th wedding anniversary on June 18th 2025. We noticed a huge wildfire breaking out nearby, we decided to go into the check in office to inquire about the fire as well as information on the hot tub that clearly had a confusing sign next to the button for the jets indicating that the hot tub was broken. The woman was seen sitting down with a individual at the bar when we came in, she walked over and I began asking about the fire, her response was "you don't need to worry" then when I asked about the hot tub, she said it's working and took off to go back to sit down at the bar. Poor customer service skills and lack of communication really turn me off! I will not be returning to this once favorite place. People don't realize that one uncomfortable moment puts a bad taste in someone's mouth. Its a shame that hospitality isn't a thing anymore. To make someone feel welcomed isn't a thing anymore. :( I find it very interesting how I received more information about the fire now that I have left a review, as opposed to my initial request. If you live by your statement in providing a good experience to those who stay at your resort, then I'm dumbfounded as to why we were dismissed in the first place. To provide good hospitality to any human is to leave them with a good feeling before they leave your presence. Better than they arrived, that's what I call an exceptional experience. That my friend brings people back, word of mouth spreads but so does poor behavior......

We visited our friends who were staying here in an RV. The RV spaces were pretty small and not much room if you wanted to set a tent up for kids or a canopy. All hook ups are available and are drive thru spots. I spoke with a few guest staying in the cabins and both complained about them being outdated and air conditioner not working the best and having a mildew smell when running. I also saw on website they had a golf course and it was anything but a golf course. Also no bathroom other than at the office/bar. This is definitely the first “Resort” I’ve visited with no restrooms throughout the campground or a Bathhouse to shower or clean up. The pool was a little dirty. We went into the bar to have a drink and the bar tender working was very nice, only disappointment was food options. Frozen pizza only and that was a limited option. Not everyone who camps like to cook and I feel they are missing out on a lot of money and no store on property? Crazy to me that it’s like a mile down the road which I didn’t check out. I feel place is definitely outdated and has a lot of potential to make much more money if they had a little store on site with snacks, essentials, drinks and maybe microwaveable food. Probably won’t be visiting again any time soon but try it out for yourself and form your own opinion.

One of our favorite places to visit. We look forward to this camping trip every year! The views are spectacular, the riding trails are beautiful and we have never had an issue at the campground. Thank you WRR for putting up with our group, we appreciate you! Looking forward to our next trip :)

We love camping at Walker River Resort. Campground is peaceful and beautiful. They have great little walking trails and dog areas. They have different things to do horseshoe pits, Frisbee golf, multiple shooting ranges, river, little ponds, community fire pits, swimming pool, bar, offroad trails. Great place for a weekend getaway.

The resort wasn't open yet but was really nice and clean. The campgrounds are very well kept. The cabins look like they would also be charming. The staff that was there were very helpful and pleasant.
