I am going from Las Vegas to Reno for the "Hot August Nights". I plan to travel from Las Vegas on I15 to Four Corners and then up US 395. Can anyone tell me the best RV parks on this route but most important; where to stay and what to see. Here is your chance to be a "RV Tracks host".

Thanks in advance for your help....

I travel between those 2 at least twice a year. I tried your route once, did not care for it, so can't offer any help. we use the US-95 route all the time.

395 is a good road. more to see than freeways. carson city and virginia city were both interesting. we stayed at riverside rv park in sparks. that was close enough to reno for me. did not like reno. take the trip to lake tahoe to cool off.

Boulder Creek just south of Lone Pine clean,quite,friendly,FH park. If you want to push a little further to Bishop Highland RV park on the north side of town is nice for an overnight the sites are a little tight. If you decide to go up 95 there is one in Mina that's ok for overnight and a fairly new one in Hawthorne Whiskey Flats. Things to see your route in Lone Pine view Mt. Whitney tallest peak in lower US,old movie museum mostly westerns,Alabama Hills site of many old westerns,just a little north Manzanar Natl. Hist.Site WW11 Japanese relocation center,between Big Pine and Bishop look for ELK on the north side of the Hwy.there is a good visitors center on the north side of Lee Vining about Mono Lake easy parking,Bodie S.H.P. about 10 miles off 395 and last half is gravel but a great ghost town,Carson City Nevada's State Capitol the Old Mint museum,good Railroad museum that's a few hope it helps. Have fun

Be sure to allow enough time to do some of the things NevadaJim listed. Most people never get into that area so take some time to see the unique things in that area.
