Gold Ranch RV Resort

We were so happy to find this resort. The snow covered mountain backdrop is so beautiful. Each spot is level and black topped. We were given a coupon for one entrée off at the restaurant. DELICIOUS seafood dinner !!
Bathrooms were private with shower. Grounds are manicured beautifully.
Very nice! We highly recommend.
Moderately priced.

don’t happen in for anything if the weather is not sunny and perfect…
according to staff, when it rains here at this rv park, they simply close down the office. no check in or out, no propane, no nothing. the hours posted on the door post they are open until 4:30 but I happened in at 3:50 and they were closed up tight. when I went to the store to inquire I was told the staff «aren’t allowed» to work or fill propane tanks in the rain. The employee told me this reluctantly and refused to look at me when he told me this, as he knew he had been instructed to lie. So beware if it isn’t a perfect sunny day, head for Boomtown…

This is not a review as we are not visiting for a couple of weeks. It is a warning. Do not use the web reservation tool «Book My Site». They do not communicate with the RV park and in some cases, don’t communicate at all. We made a reservation at Gualala Park and luckily we phoned before we left because they never got our reservation and were booked up. They take your credit card info and charge you at last $ 5.00 to make the reservation. A scam!

We stopped there on the way from Stampede Reservoir down to Mammoth. We did not stay the night but had breakfast at the café, emptied the RV tanks and filled up on propane all of which at a very reasonable price. Ladies behind the counter were real nice. Can’t wait to go back and stay a few days.

We were treated the same way with our return trip to Gold Ranch Rv park. Burners are not allowed, BUT at the start of our trip they were more than happy to take our money
We’ve stayed there 8 years never any disrespect on the type of people we are. BURNERS.
Enough said

Stop everything and book this RV park. Wide streets, green, green grass, beautiful scenery and huge spots! We called same day, the lady was super courteous on the phone, got a pull through spot and were told arrangements for checking in after 5 pm. Then security dropped off a welcome packet with pool code and wifi information after dark for us. It was wonderful! I had wished we stayed two nights!
Casino, store, sub shop and restaurant nearby. We only grabbed subs before heading out the next day. Pool is smallish but does the trick and jacuzzi was closed.
They say no older than 10 years old for rigs. They never asked me on the phone though so don’t be shy if you have an older motor home.

Best breakfast of our road trip. The farm omelette was delicious. More of a Vegie scramble with homemade salsa and Hollandaise on the side. My husband said he agreed! Best breakfast and if you look at my reviews this RaReLy happens.
The omelette had spinich, chopped broccoli and ample avocado topped with melted cheese.
Two clean plates!!!

Just got turned away by the employee on duty who said «we don’t service anyone coming from Burning Man.» Nuff said.

I stopped here for a night when I was tired, and could drive no further. I was coming home from Burning Man, and the pine trees and alpine air in which this campground resides were balm to my arid soul.
Even though I arrived at 11:56 PM (only minutes before the park is closed to late arrivals) a polite and very gracious late-​night security guard met me at the front entrance, helped me figure out what kind of site would best suit me and my 15′ 1969 Siesta Trailer, and got my paperwork started — I could pay at the office the next morning.
If you’re driving an RV, you’ll need to have one that is 10 years old or newer– but there’s no such restrictions for trailers, or at least none published in Gold Ranch’s information booklet.
The next morning, the office opened promptly, and I was able to pay my approximately $ 35 (I requested a pull-​through site) and I was on my way.
Very nice folks here.
There is a smallish pool, and a jacuzzi, but I didn’t avail myself to either of those amenities. Each site had a small lawn area as well as a picnic table. Most sites had some pine trees to separate the spaces.

First, it’s very easy on and off of the freeway.
The park is pretty and well tended. The casino food was very good and they have a hot tub/​pool on site which was well used by us! When we checked in we were given tickets for 2 free drinks (which we used!) and buy one meal get the second free. Good deals!
There is a washer/​dryer facility which is also large and clean.
The only downside was that it’s a little noisy because of the freeway and there is a train of course. I think it’s a requirement at RV parks that there be a train which has to whistle in the middle of the night!
Overall this is a very nice park, close to Reno and we would definitely stay there again.

This place seems great so far. They have back in and pull through rv spaces, which are pretty big. The grounds are well kept and they have an on site laundry room and shower facilities that are kept nice and clean. It has a small pool and hot tub that are nice to hang out at when it’s hot outside. The rates are pretty reasonable and staff are friendly and helpful. There is a little bit of freeway noise and you can hear a train at night, but other than that it’s pretty quiet despite being right next to a gas station/​jack in the box/​casino. I would normally give this RV resort 5 stars, but the only bad thing is that you have to pay separately for WiFi and the provider they use doesn’t have a very strong signal. You can only have 2 devices connected and have to re-​login every time you need to use the Internet. Regardless, it’s a great place to stay!

Spent Memorial weekend at Gold Ranch RV. Great place. The people were very friendly and the campground was great. Big back in spots and even bigger pull through spots. The campsites we used were 75′ long, easy in and out. The sites were immaculate and well kept. We had a couple of meals at the casino which is a short walk from the RV park and the meals were good. The campground is close to river fishing spots on the Truckee and lake fishing spots on the Boca and Stampede reservoirs.
