Reno offers the perks of a city stay with proximity to the Sierra Nevada.
Nevada’s gateway to the Lake Tahoe region sits right on Interstate 80, providing access for RVers looking to enjoy the hiking, biking, viewpoints, and water activities of the Sierra Nevada. At the lake, summer adventures include jet-skiing, kayaking, and boat rentals, while wintertime means skiing at one of the West’s top skiing destinations. Mt. Rose, Northstar, and Diamond Peak are the closest resorts to Reno. Off the lake, the Truckee River flows through Truckee and on to Reno, offering whitewater rafting of varying levels. Washoe Lake State Park south of the city provides a less-crowded place for fishing, birdwatching, kayaking, and other water activities and has a boat ramp. Several RV parks sit just off I-80, some with amenities like pools and Wi-Fi. Many are open year-round but know that winter is cold with rain and snow, and driving conditions can be dangerous and slow.
