Davis Creek Campground

Davis Creek Regional Park sustained damage due to a wildfire on 9/7/24 and will be tentatively closed to the public for the 2025 season as we continue the restoration and rebuilding efforts. Unfortunately, the fire caused major infrastructure damage which will take some time to replace. We appreciate your patience while we recover. Keep an eye on the Washoe County Regional Parks and Open Space Facebook page for future updates as well as additional opportunities for volunteer work days!

Site Reservation Tag

Please Note: If you see a yellow 'Reserved' tag on a site marker, you can still camp in the site on a 1st come, 1st serve basis as long as you are out by the date listed.

How to Successfully Secure a Campsite …. BEST option is to make a reservation (at least 15 days in advance) by following the instructions above. Without a reservation, you would be camping on a 1st come, 1st serve basis and will need to pay cash AND show occupancy (at the same time) meaning "Leave enough camping gear in the site to show it's clearly taken". Be sure to check the dates on those yellow 'Reserved' tags before picking a site! Got questions? Call us at 775-849-0684. Thanks & Happy Camping!!
