RV PARK REVIEW - Gold Ranch Verdi Casino & RV Resort

MAY 2013
DISCLAIMER: We are not paid to endorse or slam any RV park we review, the owners/operators are unaware of any position or personal opinion we make and/or post until after the fact. 






We headed to the Reno, NV area to visit old friends and found Gold Ranch Casino Verdi & RV Resort was just what we were looking for in a RV Resort. We wanted to be near our friends Jimmy and Sue, Lake Tahoe, Carson City and Virginia City ... you know a site that's convenient for playing tourist. It's situated in a beautiful setting nestled up against the Sierra Nevada Mountains with paved level sites. Gold Ranch features a fun casino with sit down restaurant, fast food for dine-in or drive-thru, gas station, pool & spa, clubhouse, laundry and bath house. The RV Resort is located just 2 miles from the California/Nevada state line with easy access off I-80W, exit 2.


Amenities at this Good Sam campground include:

  • 105 fully paved sites, including 68 wide pull-throughs      
  • Comfortably spaced lush green sites with 24-hour security
  • Full hook-ups - 20/30/50 amps
  • Wireless Internet at every site (fee applies)
  • Clean showers and laundry facilities
  • Clubhouse with fireplace, television, and free Wi-Fi
  • Heated pool and Jacuzzi
  • Two restaurants to choose from: the Sierra Café and Jack-In-The-Box
  • Pets welcome
  • Mail/Fax service available
  • 24-hour convenience store and Chevron gas station

Our very peaceful and serene campsite.




All rates based on one RV and one tow per site include: Tax, electric, water, sewer, cable TV, 50 amp, pets, extra person (max 4 per site), clubhouse, pool and spa, gleaming showers and restroom facilities.  A 10% discount on daily rates for Good Sam and AARP members, and they offer weekly and extended stay discount rates too.  Our nightly 2013 May rates for for a pull through was about $35.00 less our Good Sam discount. Keep in mind rates tend to change or may have seasonal rates that fluctuate.


In our check-in welcome package, we found free drinks coupons to be used in the Casino and a buy one get one free dinner at their Sierra Cafe.




After driving in from Elko, I chose the dine out option ... no cooking or clean up. We both decided on the 8 oz. Prime Rib special for $8.99 served with a choice of Potato, Seasonal Vegetable and Choice of Soup or Salad; and using the buy one get one was a savings bonus.  For the price, it was actually very good ... and the no cooking or cleaning was even better.


So, I bet you can't guess the rating we give this campground? You're right! It's an A!  I was curious, so I just checked Good Sam's ratings and they agree with me ... 10.0 Facility / 9.5 Restrooms / 9.5 Appeal. Therefore Jim and I recommend you stop in when you're in the area and try it for yourself.

  1. We stayed here about a month ago. The wireless internet is horrible. Takes forever to get connected then it kicks you off. Very frustrating. Other than that it was very nice.

    1. We use our own Verizon Mifi hotspot so we never have to rely on campgrounds. As a full-timer, we use our own encrypted connection, don't want to expose our financial accounts to the campground when paying bills online. Other than the wifi, glad you enjoyed the campground.
