So, I'm not 100% sure what part of Lahontan State Park we camped at. What I can say it was magical. We were on our 6th day of a road trip west from the east coast, and it was a long driving day.

So, I'm not 100% sure what part of Lahontan State Park we camped at. What I can say it was magical.
We were on our 6th day of a road trip west from the east coast, and it was a long driving day. We weren't up for another night at a rest stop, and didn't really find any of the RV parks in the area appealing, especially since our kids (9 & 14) needed to run off some energy. So we decided to try a state park. We arrived at Lahontan about an hour before sunset, after park staff had left for the day. We put our overnight fee in the envelope at the park gate, drove into the park, past the day use area, past a turn or two, and eventually turned onto a sand road to the beach.
Our kids immediately piled out and ran to the water. There were just one other group there who had their vehicle on the shoreline where we pulled over. Further down the shore we could see one other RV, and in the other direction in the distance one tent. Not nearly brave enough to pull our RV to the waterline, we parked out nearer the hard sand, about 50 yards from the shore. We chatted with the closest family group, who were a very friendly local ranch family out for an evening; they left about sunset. The dude even gave us a card to call him in case we ran into trouble getting our RV out of the sand, as weather was blowing in. Spoiler: no problem was had, despite a wicked storm.
And then we watched the sunset on almost a private beach, then the lightning as the storm blew in, then huddled in the RV having dinner during the storm, and when it passed we played in the moonlit sand. Magical.
Our site was not developed, just a vault toilet and a dumpster. There may be other developed sites in the park, but we didn't seek them out them. We did see a sign for a bathhouse and also RV dump station as we left, but didn't check either out.

We live in Fallon,NV (about 30 minutes away) and this was a great place to get away for a quick weekend. Our site was on the water and had easy access for our 21 foot travel trailer. No hookups in camp sites, but not a problem for a short visit. Hope to get back but have a bunch of other places to visit. Maybe I will bring the boat next time as well. Could have easily beached it at our campsite.

Lake Lahontan (reservoir) has 69 miles of shoreline and many options for camping. I camped at the developed campground at Silver Springs Beach #7, but there were ten other "coves" along the west shore where dispersed camping is allowed. (Pay attention to the sand which is soft in areas!) But everyone must pay $15 a night, with trash and dump at exit. There are flush toilets and clean bathrooms in the developed campground and several places for big rigs. But some of the smaller sites were deteriorated and covered in beach sand. In the beginning of October there were only 4 or 5 other campers so I opted for the developed campsite. You can fish, but you cant eat them as the mercury levels are too high. Looked like a lot more activity in the summer judging from tire tracks, fire rings and other signs of camping and picnicking onthe beach. Lots of room for dogs to run. Cold and windy at this time of year, but the trade off is the open beaches and plenty of privacy if you seek it out. And very good cell coverage with AT&T. 3-4 bars with booster.
