As you discovered, Boomtown is the most RV friendly place in the Reno area, that’s for sure. The KOA is a nice campground and the hotel allows overnight stays and even several nights is OK with them.

The campground you were originally looking for is still in Reno, it’s just not a KOA. The Grand Sierra (formally the Hilton) still has the RV park that was formerly the KOA.

Downtown Reno casinos have no RV parking that I can recall. Most don’t have the space.

South of town on Virginia the Atlantis stopped allowing RVs to overnight unless you have a room there. Ditto the Peppermill, but they make an exception for known gamblers in their system. The Nugget in Sparks previously allowed overnighting but stopped.

Baldini’s Sports Casino in Sparks does allow RVs to overnight. Likewise a few others out of town.

We try to list all we are aware of on the website at http://www.casinocamper.com Let me know if you find anythat I don’t have listed, or discover any errors there. Thanks!

Drew, thanks for the note about the Carson Valley Inn. Although I only list casino RV parks on my website there are quite a few nice parks in the area that aren’t associated with a casino. The same holds true for the Lake Tahoe area, with many campgrounds and RV parks. Since Horizon only allows 4 nites at a time, next year we plan to rotate out to the Zepher Cove RV Park for a night and then back to Horizon.

Atlantis, just south of Peppermill used to allow parking in the back of their lot, but when we called in June, Security told us it is prohibited by Reno now. However, there were 5 rigs there when we were in town.
