    Sparks Marina and RV Park – Sparks, NV

    We recently spent 2 nights at Sparks Marina and RV Park.  We had just left Esmeralda RV Park (to see our review on Esmeralda, click here) and were en-route to the coast of California.  The drive was totally doable in one day, but our reservations for California were not until the 2nd, so this looked like a good stopping point! Let’s review Sparks Marina and RV Park… Location: Sparks Marina and RV Park is situated just about 5 miles east of Reno, and about 430 miles northwest of Las Vegas.  It is off of I-80, in the town of Sparks. Getting to it was fairly easy.  The main road, Lincoln Way,…

    Esmeralda RV Park in Dyer, Nevada

    I have decided to add a Review section to my blog, just for RV Parks.  I find it helpful to read reviews from other people that have stayed at parks we may be considering, and hopefully, others will find my reviews helpful as well.  I will base my review from facts about the park (hook up availability, price, etc.), as well as our experience and how that affects my opinion.  Keep in mind, our experience may not be the same as yours or that of someone else, so always take that into consideration when making your decisions.  I will always be fair in my reviews. That said, let’s review Esmeralda RV…

    Three Days In Dyer

      Leaving Las Vegas The days in Las Vegas had been long and hot. There was no escaping the heat, even with the air conditioners running and the shades pulled, the temperature in the RV hovered at a consistent 85 degrees.  Outside, it was around 115 degrees.  This was our third time staying here at the Famcamp at Nellis Air Force Base.  It was the second time that we had placed ourselves here in the early heat of summer.  Like last year, the time had come to look for a place in cooler temperatures.  The next time we stay here – it will NOT be in the summer months!
