Appeal Rating Definitely not dog friendly.
This is a nice clean park with good space between the sites but if you are traveling with pets. Don't bother. There is turf between each site that you are not allowed to have dogs pee on. You are not allowed to have dog fence up on turf without a bottom on it. There are signs everywhere that say the dogs can't go there. They do have 2 dog areas they are allowed to go to. My dog is diabetic and has to go a lot and can't always hold it. The office told me to carry my dog to the dog park. My dog weighs 40lbs. and sometimes has to go out in the middle of the night.

After a very long road trip my rv had accumulated a bit of dirt. It was late but the manager refused us entry into his rv park unless we washed our rv. I am 73 years old and my partner is disaabled. We were only scheduled to stay one night. To add insult to injury they refused to refund our money.

Appeal Rating I am happy to report that we very much enjoyed the Sparks Marina RV Park. It was our first stay, and we will definitely stay again when in the area.
The park was Very clean, well laid out, amenities were in terrific condition and plentiful even though we didnt use it, there was a nice outdoor lounge area and several barbecues sitting waiting. Lots of staff around the property during the day, as was Security after dark. It was a nice treat to step out of our rig and be on green "grass". An added bonus was the ability to get out for lovely walks around the lake only a half block away.
Check in staff were helpful . We very much appreciated that, being unable to decide if we wanted to stay 4 or 5 nights, they allowed us to pay for 4 and " blocked off" the fifth until we decided. At the time, we weren't aware that it was the long weekend of Nevada Days! We appreciated this very much and, in he end, stayed 5 nights.
We have been RVing for years and cannot think of anything that we would ask for different or better of an RV park, especially one so close to a city.

Stay away from this park! Owner is a jerk over his rules-and I guess there are lots! Got banned from camping there again because of washing the bugs off of our windshield! We changed to using a bucket as he suggested (which used more water), but because we pointed this out, he said we have a bad attitude. Threatened to call the police & evict us, even though we had pre-paid the year before for our 5-day stay. That is ok, I will not give this park another penny of our money!
Saw them going around trying to find people who weren't following rules. Can't do anything on their fake grass. You would think they wouldn't want to make enemies of repeat customers, but he doesn't care. The owner needs an attitude adjustment and customer service training. I told him I was going to share our experience online, and he said he didn't care as his park was full. Funny, looked pretty empty to me as soon as Hot August nights were over.
Very small skinny sites. Your slide is in the neighbor's site. Wifi was not good. Sewer drain - needed 3 hoses to get to it, and it is in the middle of your neighbor's driveway.

If you are wanting the manager who seems to feel his job is to watch your check in on video, and assume things about your interaction with his employees. (No audio I assume) and then come to your site, before your even unhooked from a trailer to accost you about assumed slights to his employees then this place is for you. Also threatened to call police to kick us out, with no refund.
Pulled in, asked employee to watch height clearance as their overhead checking canopy was 13' 8", I told the employee we were 13'6 at least and was concerned about the clearance, and to please watch it.
Next asked check in employee that I wanted to review check-in check-out dates and dollar amounts before signing the payment form. Once verified I was good.
He also evidently took issue with my slow and careful driving exiting the check in area to watch clearances of our 40' trailer around all the curves.
The owner of this park needs to fire this manager and hire one who knows how interact with customers.
Also this park want's payment of all day's when reserving site, instead of 1 day non-refundable and remainder cost's on check-in like most parks. Probably as way to get every penny out of you before they call the police to kick you out, with NO refund, unless you purchase cancellation insurance for $ 35.00!
Sites are astroturf. Site length's on websites are inaccurate, said 60 feet, more like 45 or 50 feet, tow vehicles have to park next to your RV, sites are very close to each other. My tow vehicle was 1 1/2 feet from our slides and our neighbor's slides.
I RECOMMEND YOU FIND ANOTHER PARK TO PATRONIZE WITH YOUR BUSINESS.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HAD EXPERIENCE WITH A RV PARK LIKE THIS!

Appeal Rating The park is very nice, one of the nicest we've stayed. However, office staff and the manager in particular take away from the experience.
The website states they do not guarantee satellite coverage. i requested a satellite friendly space on their on-line reservation. On arrival, we were not assigned a satellite friendly spot. Their handout states that sites are assigned by staff at check-in.
I went to the office and asked to be moved to a space that was not occupied and I knew my satellite would work. The moment I asked, the attitude of the office staff became noticeably hostile. When the staffer asked why I wanted to change, his tone was curt. He typed something into the computer, but I don't know whether or not he actually checked for availability. He said the spaces were not available. I asked about the policy on the handout the sites are assigned at check in. He said the sites were assigned and they were not going to change anything. As I was about to walk away, he gave a sarcastic "sorry". Another staffer asked what I was requesting, to which she replied "we don't guarantee satellite coverage", as if that was supposed to end of the matter. She also mentioned that they offer cable. I admit I was getting angry and with a raised voice said "I know that".
The manager came in from outside and had a visibly hostile attitude toward me. He said the park was full and no moves were going to be made, and if there was another incident, I would be asked to leave.
I returned to my space. The manager came out and made a suggestion to back my rig. I explained that the result would be my rig in the traffic lane. I asked if it was unreasonable to maintain a list of spaces with less mature trees that would allow for satellite reception in cases like mine. He replied that they would not do that, and that he runs his park the way he wants. I tried to explain that I pay for my satellite and that I get more channels than their cable provides, and that I can't record their cable on my DVR. The conversation continued to get more and more heated, but I stayed on point, did not use profanity or put downs. He cut me off, told me I had a bad attitude and that he was not going to cut down any trees. It felt as if he were trying to bait me into saying or doing something that would give him a real reason to evict us. We were outside and next to a neighboring camper whose door was open and heard the entire exchange.
They did not have an actual reason for denying the move. They simply did not want to. The manager and office staff were rude and not helpful. The handout also states that no refunds are given for early departure for any reason. Once they have your money, they don't care about how they treat you if you have a request they don't intend to honor. They seem to not have any problem with lying either. The park was never full.
I will not be staying there again. The owners need to look into how the manager treats paying guests.

I really liked it here. Its large but sites are spacious. Very well organized, with lots of rules. Didnt use restrooms but facility was well maintained and staff helpful. Dog runs were amazing and super clean. They even had recycling which all parks should have at this point. Wifi pretty good. Convenient to shopping, walk around man made lake.

Appeal Rating I'm only giving 4 stars for an overall rating. The management appears to be rule-bound and somewhat enforcement happy. Put succinctly, it's a bit too precious for my taste. I know the problems in a major Nevada city in keeping standards high, but customers should be treated as customers, not as a revenue source.
Nearby shopping and eateries are numerous.

Appeal Rating Ok, I'm here for the Reno Air Races. Made a reservation to be side by side with a friend in sites that would let us have our doors open to the same area so we faced each other. Unfortunately my friend had to cancel due to a medical condition but the still had them in the computer when I checked in to be side by side.
I do not use the showers and such but I did go by to check them out. Nice clean facilities that are well maintained.
Everything is paved or astroturf at the sites. I haven't seen any that do not look level. My only compliant might be I'd like a little more room between them our just a bit longer. Still there is plenty of parking for our 45' unit and tow.
The internet works. I've had my coach logged into their network since arriving. It is hassle free and pretty fast.
There is cable TV but I get a snowy picture but I've had snow cable just about every where we've stayed that has provided cable. Beginning to think there may be a problem with our coach so I'll be having it checked.
There is a little lake across the street with a 2 mile trail around it. The trail has a nice dog run on the opposite side from the RV park where you can take you dogs for a swim it you'd like. It even has benches to sit on while the dogs play. It is fenced down to the water so they do not have to stay on leash. The park itself has 3 dog runs. Two at one end and one at the other. With everything being paved or astroturf they require dogs only use the dog runs which are fenced as well.
The staff has been fantastic. Check in is easy and you are led to your site and they help get you parked. The lead in guys are out and about in the park all the time meaning help is near just about anytime you need them.
The park is just off I80 in Sparks and easy to get to. That being said, I use a Garmin and the Rand McNally that came in the coach and both lead you to a back gate which is locked and not to registration. The address is correct on Lincoln Way but the map data base info has not been updated. Ask for directions based on where you're arriving from. I expect the GPS directions will take another year or so to be corrected.
Finally there is a relatively new outlet mall across the street as well along with lots of eateries in the area.
We've had a great stay and will come again if we come to Reno.

Appeal Rating Very clean place. However they couldn't spell our name or street right from the get go. Front office staff was very rude from the start. Changed our reserved spot to be as far away from the people we were visiting as possible. Every time I went to drive my 65 year old mother in law and special needs sister in law the entire length of the complex. I had the Golf Cart Gestapo breathing down my neck. You know we have a handy cap window hanger for a reason. So, unless you like unprofessional behavior, constant harassment, and discrimination then go some place else that treat you with dignity and respect. I only met one person there that even made us feel welcome.

Appeal Rating This is probably the premier RV park in the Reno/Sparks area. A staff member will escort you to your site and help with getting you into your spot. We were even able to get an extra day stay here with the park coming into a busy weekend for an event in the local area. There are 3 pet areas around the park that were super clean. There are various shopping and restaurants venues within walking distance. There is even a rather large park nearby as well that has a playground and large dog park/beach area.
Talked with a few of the other campers staying at the park and there seemed to be a change in the parks management earlier this year and some additional rules have been added or more watched out for. Not usually a big deal at parks but the staff here will let you know when the rules are not followed or are about to be broken.
There is some construction going next door, which we were told might be a small casino when finished. Not sure on the accuracy on this but hopefully whatever is built does not detract from the quality of this park.
I would stay here again. The staff was nice, facilities were great and the park's in a good location.

What a shame, this was going to be our last stop on a long trip. Looking forward to the easy in/out and the nearby dining. But NO... Turns out that if your rig is over ten years old you may not be able to stay here. The young lady on the phone was very helpful, even giving us her personal cell number so we could text a photo of our rig. She reported that there shouldn't be any trouble but wanted to get manager approval before taking our credit info. When they called back we were informed that they would not take our reservation. I guess only the beautiful get to stay here.

Love the greeting when driving in. Never had to get out of the coach since they pull up a step ladder and do everything thru the side window. Then, they'll escort you to your spot and help out if required. Very nice dog run too. We'd return without hesitation.

Appeal Rating This RV park is convenient to get in and out of and easy access to the Freeway, although traffic in Sparks can be very busy at times. Close to shopping and dining. Gas stations with decent prices are far and few but we did find a Maverik station just a block away that was reasonable. Park is clean and well kept. Spaces are paved and level. Dog area is kept very clean and there is a field close by to walk your dog and the Marina is close as well. Staff we encountered were very nice, polite, and helpful. Laundry room was clean, plenty of washers and dryers. We didn't need to use the showers or restrooms but based on the rest of the park, I am confident they are well kept.
This is our park of choice while in Reno. Highly recommend.

Nice pool, jacuzzi, bbqs, propane, 3 great dog parks, quiet, well organised from time of arrival to your entire stay. Rules are enforced, dogs on leashes, etc. Have a 40 foot with toad and plenty of room. Great connections and sewer spot, and picnic tables. Mail forwarded without problems, had Fedex and UPS packages no problem. No clutter you see from long time residents. So much nearby. We will stay here again and again.

Great dog run area. Very clean pool and jacuzzi, along with a sizable clubhouse for group assemblies. They even have a putting green. The restrooms and showers were very nicely appointed, and were immaculate. What's more, the prices are reasonable, especially considering the location, along with the popularity of the season when we stayed. We plan on going back next fall.
