Nevada is more than a drive-through state, especially for RV travel.
RVers crossing the West through Nevada may think there’s no reason to pause between Salt Lake and Lake Tahoe, but the Silver State surprises with natural attractions that are often less crowded than the showstoppers in California, Utah, and Arizona. In the east, Great Basin National Park and Cathedral Gorge State Park feature caves, slot canyons, rock formations, ancient pine forests, and amazing stargazing. Burning Man’s Black Rock Desert is in the northwest, and south of there is Reno and Lake Tahoe, where you can ski, hike, and bike in the Sierra Nevada, go boating, and experience whitewater rafting on the Truckee River. Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest sits roughly in the middle of Nevada with year-round adventures including cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and off-roading. And, of course, Las Vegas lights up the southern tip, surrounded by rugged sandstone landscapes in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and Valley of Fire State Park. You’ll find all kinds of RV parks, from no-frills campgrounds to Vegas-worthy resorts.
