Dayton State Park en los Estados Unidos

Came here to just dump and get fresh water. Fee is $5 (dropbox at dump station). The dump is one lane only, but has a hole into the ground on either side, meaning you can drive in from either side. The rinse water hose is on just one side. The hole doesn't have a curb around it, which is great for those of us whose dump line is closer to the ground (can't dump uphill!). Further ahead is a trash can and a fresh water hose. We were here end of October and fresh water was still turned on (they may shut it off for winter?). Water had good pressure. The dump station is located really close to the highway, which was great as we didn't need to drive through the campground to hunt it down.

We stopped here going Westbound on 50 to avoid showing up late in the day at Lake Tahoe and not finding a spot. There are several sites that can accommodate larger than 20 foot rigs. We backed into a spot with our 25 ft trailer without unhooking and had room to spare. Lots of trees and vegetation with some nice views and the Carson River is nearby. However the road noise is bothersome. But for one night it was fine.

Only 10 sites some occupied by obvious tweakers who live here. Beach has lots of feces and TP. Nice picnic grounds and clean restroom. Dry camping. Sites will not accommodate a large RV. Right on the highway.

We came to visit the Reno area for a few days and stayed at beautiful Washoe Lake State Park. We wanted to visit the other Nevada State parks that are clustered in this area. Upon arriving at Dayton State Park, we found a dilapidated and neglected Park. We were shocked to find flower beds filled with weeds and dead flowers, empty parking lots bordered by rotting wood timbers, a hiking trail that seems to go nowhere and overgrown with bushes, weeds, and branches. There was no trail information on the Information Board next to the trail. There were only 2 Park brochures in the box. The restrooms were dirty. We were curious about the camping area, so drove through it. There were only two trailers there—obviously broken down and in a state of being repaired. There was a large tree branch growing over the campground road. If your rig is over about 12 feet high, you will be stopped in your tracks and will be forced to turn around or back out. We saw someone in a personal truck go speeding down a road signed “Authorized Vehicles Only”. There was no ranger staff in evidence, and I wouldn’t feel safe leaving my trailer here in this setting. Don’t waste your time here. It’s a dump, with nothing to do nothing interesting.

We took a day trip with the boys to see the park. They enjoyed the hike that took us under Highway 50. The Carson River is close by, but difficult to access due to the brush. Restrooms are nice and are convenient when you’re passing through. Not very crowded. I would imagine you can hear road noise at night.
