It’s a sold-out weekend at the campground, and our camp hosts have some fun planned for Saturday, May 23!

Start your morning with DonutNV serving up breakfast from 9:30–11:30 AM, then grab lunch from Four Bears Food Truck at 1:30 PM. Later in the day, the kiddos can enjoy train rides around the campground for some extra fun. We can’t wait to see everyone out there for a full weekend of camping, good food, and family fun!

Did you know on-site laundry is available at the campground?

That’s right! Guests have access to a convenient laundry room located right between the men’s and women’s restroom/shower houses in the center of the campground. The facility includes two washers and two dryers available for guest use.

Machines are operated and paid for through an easy-to-use app. Just follow the instructions posted in the laundry room, or visit GetOneTapAway.com to download the free One Tap Away app and get started.
