Sportsman's Beach

Gorgeous views of the lake and mountains. Got here last night around 5:30. Watched the sun set. I think we were super lucky there was no wind and the mountains reflected in the lake. So peaceful. Quite windy this morning and dust flying around. Very clean campground. Plenty of sites and good space between the sites. Pretty level site... more

Perfect stopover point between Las Vegas and Carson City (though a bit closer to Carson City). We stayed at the bottom; large flat sites all with awning, bench, and fire ring. Close enough to highway to be super convenient but far enough not to hear it. Very clean and well maintained area. And, most importantly, those gorgeous lake and... more

We stayed here on our way from Oregon to Las Vegas. We had planned on just an overnight stop, but it was so peaceful and beautiful that we opted to stay a 2nd night, too. There were only about 3 other campers both nights, and everyone was spread out, so it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. The campground was really clea... more

This needs more signage in the top campsites. There are more campsites down away from the road with covered tables and flat sites and a vault toilet. You can’t fish in the lake, but it is quiet and cheap. With pass $3 per without pass $6 per night. Down side is no fishing and they need to dump garbage. You can hear some traffic noise b... more

Right off the highway on Walker Lake. There are covered picnic tables at each spot. Great views of the lake and sunrise was quite beautiful! A bit of garbage throughout and a slight smell from the pit toilets and possibly the lake. The lake is quite dirty, definitely wouldn’t swim in it. Our dog went in about half a foot deep and his f... more

Tent camped here in September 2019 before hiking the annual Mt Grant Challenge (6 am start time). The place was almost empty, with only a few other spots occupied. I had a gorgeous view of the lake and sunset was amazing. However, it got very, very windy after dark. It felt like I was sleeping inside a kite! My tent blew over at one po... more

Nothing to write home about, but was perfect for a stopover on our way to Arizona. We stayed in the lower area just above the boat ramp. Paved road ends just past where we camped. Sites down the rock road were nice and we would have stayed down there if staying more than one night. Lots of truck traffic on US 95 above us, but it ... more

Plenty of space with a great view, we found an undeveloped section (in the same area as the pay station) in between the developed sections with picnic tables, this area has more room for bigger trailers however it was almost full when we got here on a Friday night, the other sections with picnic tables were basically empty had less roo... more

The upper campsites accommodate smaller rigs and lower sites are better for larger rigs. Numbered sites have a picnic table and small shade covering. There is an open area where we parked that could accommodate 40' + rigs which are un-numbered and do not have tables or designated sites. We paid for our stay here and noticed the BLM ra... more
