Who would have thought to find a blissfully lush, green haven in the middle of the high desert? My husband knows what I like and the Welcome Station RV Park delivered! The sites are plush grass and protected from the sun by stunning trees. The weather was ideal and the hosts welcoming. Our grandsons participated in the Lady Bug hunt, swam in the stream, rode their bikes and had a glorious time! We relaxed and enjoyed the peaceful environment, swung in the hanging chairs and perused the gardens. Welcome Station must be seen to be appreciated. If you need cable television and WiFi this is not your place. If you love peace, nature, serenity, wildlife, gardens and a meandering stream, this is the spot for you! This park earned on our top five (RV) destinations and we will be back.
This was our first RV experience, and first RV campsite. We had scheduled back in January to fly to Steamboat Springs, but then the virus came so we chose to rent an RV in CA. We called for directions as we approached Wells, and Nancy was very gracious in patiently giving directions. Driving up, we found Steve waiting for us on the road in a golf cart. He guided us right to our spot, and then helped me back into it. What a refreshing surprise this place was. It was beautiful, we didn't believe this could exist in the midst of the hot, barren Nevada countryside. Covered in the shade of a canopy of large trees, a small stream flowed along one side. Park benches lined this picturesque waterway, with a few small waterfalls. I climbed down to feel the water - it was ice cold! From snow melt (in August!) from the mountain near the property. The campers were quiet and friendly, no loud carousing. This oasis was refreshing and peaceful, having a serene view to the north. Two minor issues were some noise from Hwy 80, and no internet. We vacationed for 11 days on our trip, only spending one night at Welcome Station. Frankly, I wish we had stayed there for at least half of our vacation. Yes, the owners and the place were that nice. allan and lisa…
Nancy and Steve are great! They are friendly, accommodating and attentive park owners. The grounds are just beautiful and a walk around the park, hunting for "ladybugs" is a very pleasant activity for all ages. Just passing through for a one night stay, we quickly asked Nancy if she could extend us for another evening. This park is often full, so we felt fortunate that it worked for us.... because this really is a great spot! We read the other reviews about the road noise, and this should be expected. But that's true of a lot of RV parks located along I-80 and the convenience of the location at a long smooth exit make it worth the trade. Besides, the cows, birds, and even the coyotes in the distance help remind you of what a wonderful place this is. Also, the review about "pushy" owners didn't line up with our experience at all. In fact, we found the opposite to be true. Of course, we were reminded to be respectful of the check-out time because there is a lot of watering and mowing that they need to do between campers. That's not only understandable, but the grounds are so beautiful, that we sincerely appreciate that simple rule because (as campers) we get the benefit of their hard work. My only hesitation in writing this review is that I am hopeful that we will get to pass through here again and I hope that it isn't already full before we make a reservation.…
This place truly sets the standard of what an RV camp should be. Beautiful nature, streams, grass, trees, a tranquil view, great caring owners, a fire pit, full hookups, and even a ladybug treasure hunt for kids. Full of wonder. Every other RV camp we stayed at was a steep drop off from this experience.
Our Stay capped off a 5 day trip through the Great Basin. Located 8 miles west of Wells, NV, the Welcome Station was a stop along the California Trail. The owners have created a grassy park setting in a mature stand of trees. A spring fed creek runs on one side of the park, where bridges, flowers and gardens have been established. the view of Grey's Peak directly to the south and a distant view of the mountains to the north make it a relaxing spot. I-80 is very close, but the traffic wasn't bothersome. Wells, NV is close enough for gas and groceries. The bathroom and shower facilities were not open during our stay due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The daytime temps were 75-80 and the nighttime cooled off nicely to 45-50. We chose a back-in site with water and 30A power for $27/night, but the large pull through sites accomodate the biggest rigs up to 100' and water, sewer and 50A power. The Welcome Station will be a planned stop each time we pass through Nevada.…
