Mount Rose (NV)

The camp host does a great job keeping the campground up. The campground is peaceful, clean, and attractive.

Delightful stay. Much cooler temperatures than Reno. Did some nice hikes.

Very nice campground- well maintained. My site was down several steps from the parking space for my RV. That was a bit awkward. It was too hot for a campfire, but this fire ring did not have a rack top for cooking. There was a separate grill tho.

Campsite 12. Excellent location and relatively level.

Super clean, quiet campground. Beautiful views!

Great stay at this favorite campsite. Host is friendly but not obtrusive and does an absolutely fantastic job of keeping the restrooms clean.

Beautiful mountain top location with easy access to hike to the Galena waterfalls or up to Mt. Rose summit....in addition to a number of trails that can be quieter, with fewer people. Views of Lake Tahoe on nearby trails. The campground itself was well maintained, as were the rest rooms. Campground hosts were polite and had firewood stacked, available to those who want a campfire at night. Reservations are necessary for many nights - especially weekends or holidays. The hike in tent sites have some of the best views. Highly recommend.

This is a lovely, local campground, and the camp hosts are FANTASTIC. Andrew Connectt & Ashley keep the sites and the restrooms immaculate. Hope that they return next year. We have one complaint, & that is that Rec.gov needs to enforce the access to handicapped sites & not allow non-handicapped people use them. Specifically, site #12 at Mount Rose. Hopefully handicapped signs & numbers will be required information on the Rec.gov website when people choose a camp spot. I am handicapped & have had difficulty with this. Thank you.

The host is great and keeps the campground very clean.

This campground is very well-maintained. It's developed enough that it's very convenient (easy parking, leveled spot for your tent, picnic tables and fire rings, water spigots, bear lockers, firewood for sale, and vault toilets) — but it's also still very beautiful. The spots aren't too close together, although I definitely heard the neighboring kids playing.

Pro tip: walk to the front of the campground and head left onto the trailhead for a gentle 1.5 mi loop around a gorgeous meadow with a creek, wildflowers, and signs about the history and nature unique to this area. This loop connects to the Tahoe Rim Trail so you may see some backpackers. Be polite and say hello!

The host was very friendly and helpful. Dogs are allowed, which is wonderful, just be sure to keep them on leash. One camper let her dog go off and it tackled a nice old dog who was on-leash. It was very upsetting to watch. The host gave the negligent owner a warning.
