Site Reservation Tag 

Please Note: If you see a yellow 'Reserved' tag on a site marker, you can still camp in the site on a 1st come, 1st serve basis as long as you are out by the date listed.

How to Successfully Secure a Campsite …. BEST option is to make a reservation (at least 15 days in advance) by following the instructions above. Without a reservation, you would be camping on a 1st come, 1st serve basis and will need to pay cash AND show occupancy (at the same time) meaning "Leave enough camping gear in the site to show it's clearly taken". Be sure to check the dates on those yellow 'Reserved' tags before picking a site! Got questions? Call us at 775-849-0684. Thanks & Happy Camping!!
