Does anyone have any reviews on Rivers Edge RV Park in Sparks Nevada? We are staying for a week, or do you have a better choice?

We love the GSR...they also offer discounts for your players card....the pool area is awesome and things for the kids to do. The river runs alongside the RV Park. There is an on site driving range. We don't stay anywhere else. Either place will get you some airplane noise but it's not bad......Dennis

It's been awhile but it was a nice park. biggest drawback is it is under the airport flight plan. They have/had a sign be aware of the noise no refunds or something like that. It never really bothered us. Nice river walk which we use often to walk the dog.

Below are the reviews from:http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/Nevada/Sparks.html
We stayed at this park as our base camp while we explored the Reno, Carson City and Virginia City areas. This park is in a great location to do just that! Yes, the park is right under the flight path for the airport. We heard about 4 to 6 large jets cross over the park on any of the given 4 days we were here. They do stop flying after 11 PM and don't start up again until 6:00 AM. There are so few flights though, that it really is not a detractor in our minds. It is an all asphalt park, but the spots are plenty wide to slide out all the slides and still have plenty of room for chairs and such. There is plenty of room for the toad, but in some sites you may have to park it across the front or back of the Moho. Leaving the toad attached to the back of a 40 foot moho may not be an option. There is a great river area next to the park, but it moves fast! The park is about 30 percent 'permanents', but they all keep their sites very clean. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay at this park and will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The amenities of this park are well above what one could wish, although the spaces are a little close together the most outstanding problem with staying here is that the park is directly in the glide path of McCarran Airport. When the prevailing winds are out of the South the noise of the aircraft coming in for a landing is to say the least loud. Some of the aircraft on the glide path to the airport are at about an approximate elevation of three hundred feet while traversing the perimeter of the resort. If you plan on staying you had better like watching commercial aircraft in the process of landing up close. Sorry Rivers Edge, last time here for us. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place will probably change its name to Rivers Edge Mobile Home Park before to long. We have used this park for our Hot August Nights campground for the last eight years, but things are changing. The park wants to accommodate more long term residents and not cater to the short term guests. Unless you are real short term, two or three days, then they can place you in the park where there is space, rather than you reserving a site. I like this park but will probably have to look elsewhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
