But far better than the other nearby parks and without being as far out as Reno or Minden. Bang for the buck is the bottom line, right? Given the limited options in the Carson City area, I still feel GDW has the best value and set up. Overall the park is really good but not great when considering the slightly-high price given their maintenance issues and limitations. The Grille in the casino is a nice respite from RV meal prep. Tractor Supply next door to GDW has a great supply of dog food and propane so you don't have to go far for those supplies. But if you venture over to Centro Market just east the freeway, I'll vouch their tacos are better. The taqueria across the street is brilliant and walking distance to groceries and good food. It's very easy to get to everything Carson City has to offer. The location is good, especially if you know Carson. Not having to schlep to a laundromat is a big deal. The laundry facility is clean and tidy, but prices are a bit on the smart side for the small, old-school, clunky, agitator washing machine offerings. The bath-house is *always* immaculate so high marks there. I don't need their weight machines, but I do use the treadmill in bad weather and having access to a decent amount of floor space to do my other exercises and yoga is really nice. The wifi signal has been pretty darn good as RV parks go but we've also never been there when it was more than half-full. And being someone who has to do physical therapy constantly, having that space is a major bonus. If you need a fitness center, they offer it to the RV park dwellers. Inside our trailer, the noise is largely a non-issue. That's a little more aggravating if you like to enjoy outside time like we do.
That's just the breaks you have to put up with for the location. You will deal with noise from the freeway and access ramp. So you have to know which sites have issues in advance or stop by and inspect them before committing to a site if you don't want to have to move multiple times to find one with everything in working order. Incredibly simple things like damaged electrical towers and missing spigot t-handles are not addressed in between our frequent visits. They often have to be apologetic for the facility's maintenance issues - rightfully so. Plus, there's plenty of nearby overflow parking if you need it. It is tight for our 52' of equipment, though. We can unhook and park the truck perpendicular in front of the trailer without encroaching upon anyone else's space - as you'll see others do as well. It definitely falls into the category of RV park that was built before today's super-sized rigs but it's workable. I've stayed at Gold Dust West RV park many, many times over the last four+ years of owning a travel trailer.
