New Frontier RV Park - Winnemucca, Nevada (July 2018)

It was a long and slow drive leaving California. It appeared to me that every car in the state was on the road and in front of us. To make matters worse, we were amazed at the amount of road construction along our route. We crawled along at 3 mph mile after mile. 

Another issue was that it seemed as if every rest stop in California was closed for renovations. Add temperatures exceeding 100 degrees to this picture and you have the ingredients for a frustrating day. Thankfully, the roads and traffic returned to a more normal state once we crossed into Nevada.

Welcome to Nevada!

It didn’t take long for us to start talking about where to stop for the night. We used both AllStays and RVParky on our iPhones to identify New Frontier RV Park as a possible campground for the night. A quick call confirmed that they had room for us that night. 

This campground has some pull-thrus, but only the back-in sites were available by the time we arrived. Their smallest back-in sites were 70 feet deep and that is big enough to allow us to stay hitched up during the night with about 35 feet to spare.

This was a newer park than the ones we normally camp in. It was well designed and had large sites separated by grass and a small tree. This gave us plenty of room to extend our awnings without worrying about being too close to the neighboring sites.

We were tired after a difficult day and this was a great place for us to park Rosie, our 25 foot Airstream trailer, for the night. 

Here are some specifics about this campground:

• Our site was paved with gravel 
• We needed leveling tools to correct a slight lean
• Our site had 20, 30 and 50 amp electrical service 
• Our site had a water connection 
• Our site had a sewer connection 
• Our site had a cable TV connection. We were able to see only two stations using Rosie’s antenna 
• The campground provided a decent WiFi signal over our site 
• AT&T placed a poor one-bar signal over our campsite. It was unreliable for both voice and data 
• This campground had some of the nicest restrooms and showers we have seen in any campgrounds
• There was a nice laundry room in this park 

We enjoyed our visit here and hope to see more campgrounds similar to this one as we head down the road.
