Directions:
From Sparks church, head south on Hwy 395 towards Carson
City, Take exit 56 for 431/Mt
Rose, Merge onto NV-431 W/Mt
Rose Hwy go 15.4 miles until you get to summit. The Mt Rose campground entrance
will be on the left exactly at the summit. For
Day campers: As you approach the summit you may need to pull out to the
right side parking area/pull out.
Parking is very limited:
If you’re only coming for the day,
it would be best to park at the pull out on the right side of road as mentioned
above and walk in.. If you need assistance you can drive in, be dropped off and
have your car parked back outside the camp area. There are a few parking spots
within the camp facility but are available on a first come first served basis. If
you have any questions please call me when you arrive at the parking area outside
the campground.
As you enter the campground, the
first 2 camp spots on the left is where I will be. You can pull over to the
left until I can give you further instruction regarding parking/drop off etc.
Looking forward to a great church campout!!
