Located in Mina Nevada,
The Birthplace of Nevada Off-Road Adventure Tourism
Ride your ATV (NO DIRT BIKES!) from your RV site on old mining roads to visit old mines and breathtaking views of rock formations in the Pilot and Excelsior mountain ranges. Excelsior Mountain range includes the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest. You have access to more than 500 miles of ATV riding roads and trails with exciting, thrilling and beautiful views of rock formations, old mines, and wildlife. Nevada Dinosaur/Ghost town state park, one of the most unusual state parks in all of the United States, is nearby. Sunrise Valley RV Park has trail maps and information.
S'bnd from jct SR 361 & US 95 (at S end of town): Go 10 mi S on US 95. N'bnd from jct SR 360 & US 95: Go 7-3/4 mi N on US 95.
The shop could offer a bit more stuff for sale but overall this place is a nice place to stay.
They keep up on maintenance and the bathrooms/showers are always spotless and never smelled bad.
It's a great place to be based from for off-road riding. You can ride non plated vehicles right from camp.
This is a small, seasonal RV park in Mina, Nevada off US 95. Mina is popular with off-roaders and people who enjoy exploring the old mining camps on the area. Mina is a small town in the Nv desert.
This RV park is all dirt. There is a laundry room, Wi-Fi, and showers (though I have not used their showers). The staff are super friendly and accommodating.
This is not a big fancy park, it's better- in my opinion. No need to hail a taxi to get to the office or laundry room.
SITES:
The spaces are large and it's pretty easy to level the RV. Most sites have trees and a picnic table. Sites offer 30/50 amp power, water, and sewer hook-up.
The tables are a little weathered, so watch for splinters. There is also a little sheltered picnic area that easily accommodated our group of 12 for a potluck supper.
CAMPFIRES:
There are no individual fire rings at the sites. However, there is an an area with a fire-pit. The fire area is large enough to hang out as a group, which is great for meeting other people.
PETS:
Dogs are welcome, as long as you walk them in the designated areas and pick up after them. Of course, they ask that dogs are on a leash and not disruptive (excessive barking) or aggressive/dangerous to other people or pets.
OFF-ROADING:
Lastly, Mina is a small but friendly town. Many people visit Mina for the off-roading available. They say there are hundreds of miles of roads to ride. ATVs are welcome and there are lots of roads and sites to explore.
Some are weary travelers that just stop for a night. Some come for the peaceful tranquility in Mina. Others come to explore. I come for the adventure.
What a delightful oasis! We had a wonderful shady, roomy pull-thru site with full hookup for $42. It is beautifully fixed up and maintained. I wish we could have stayed longer!
We planed part of our trip to stay at #sunrisevalleyrvpark as they advertise they are ATV friendly. We got there late and were able to pick a spot and pay in the morning. We planned to stay 2 days there but there was so much to do that we had to stay another full day!
Wendy has a book they sell in the office that shows where rockhounds could go. It is very detailed. We followed a couple that leads us to some pretty old buildings. It's like stepping back in time seeing all these mining buildings still up mostly.
This RV park is well taken care of and all the large collection of rocks will make any novice rockhound drool. There are several large fossilized tree trunks as well as all kinds of local stones you can find.
Please make your way over and enjoy a night! They even supply the firewood at the group fire pit.
