The best beach camping in Nevada

·

Most campers would assume that because Nevada is a landlocked, high desert state, beach camping is difficult to come by. However, the Silver State happens to be home to hundreds of campsites set not only on the shores of Lake Tahoe but also next to desert lakes and the popular Colorado River near Las Vegas. Nevada allows for year-round beach camping, so take your pick of RV parks on the Colorado River in the south during mild winters, or tent, kayak, or boat camp among the pine trees at Zephyr Cove during the hot summers. For a little more adventure, check out the lesser-known parts of the state—pitch a tent on the sandy beaches of Pyramid Lake or do some RV camping and enjoy the picnic areas on the Carson River near Highway 50, or the Walker River near Toiyabe National Forest. Nevada also has some wonderful state park camping at spots like Washoe Lake and Fort Churchill, both with beach access.

We loved our stay at Christina's land. It was easy to find with the directions Christina sent us and the campsite set up was great. We were on a long road trip so this was the perfect spot to stop for the night before we continued on. The views were incredible - we lucked out in having amazing clouds during the day, a great sunset and beautiful star gazing at night, couldn't have asked for more! It was very private, we never saw anyone other than some kayakers passing by, but it also felt very safe. It got very windy at night so be prepared for that and the beach down at the lake is very rocky but a great place to explore. We'd definitely come again!

Pam and Frank were wonderful hosts. Our site was great, overlooking Topaz Lake. We made last minute reservations and Pam was on it, communicating with us, making sure we were greeted and that we had a great experience. They take great care of their guests and the property as well. We booked it just as a layover, but will be back to make it our destination. Thank you Pam!
