Gorgeous campground, very clean and well designed. Plenty of space between sites. We really enjoyed our double site, with no neighbors behind us.

Beautiful, clean, comfortable and friendly high-altitude campground. Superb trails for all levels of hikers can be reached from Mt Rose Campground. Very convenient location for attending the Shakespeare play at Sand Harbor

This is a fabulous RV/tent camp. The spaces are far apart and the camp is kept very clean. You can't find a better host than Mark. The location is perfect between Incline Village and Reno.

Nice cement pad for campsite. Was difficult to get reservations. Reserved signs throughout the campground on all the camp sites, yet only about 20 percent of us showed up to camp. Which made it nice for us. A big 5th wheel had a generator running all day, allowed, but if you need to escape noise pollution, not the best place. The meadows and trails were breathtaking beautiful, and high elevation, though makes hiking a little harder, made for a very cool night.

lovely campground! Very clean vault toilets, level parking, concrete picnic area with fire pit, bbq, table, bear box and a 'counter' stand. the tent area was obvious, level and covered in sand (a good thing). I hope to return some day.

The campground is well situated and very clean. Each campsite is unique with plenty of space. The bathrooms were the cleanest of any campground we have been to !

This was our first time visiting this campground, and we absolutely loved it! It’s on the smaller side, but very well maintained. The host was warm and welcoming, and firewood is available to purchase on-site. There are plenty of water spigots throughout the campground—great for filling your RV’s fresh tank or collecting water if you’re tent camping.

Bathrooms were impressively clean, and there are several hiking trails you can access right from the campground. Keep in mind that the elevation is quite high, so give yourself a little time to acclimate when you arrive. The higher elevation also means cooler weather, which was a nice bonus.

We loved our campsite and the overall experience—definitely planning a return trip!

Quick tip: If you’re coming up from Incline Village, the right-hand turn off the highway into the campground is very sharp. Be extra cautious if you’re towing a travel trailer or driving a large RV. As you get close, slow down and keep an eye out for the turnoff—it’s easy to miss.

Happy camping!
