New Frontier RV Park located Winnemucca, NV is one of several campgrounds in this area. My perception is that Winnemucca is not as much a vacation spot (there are numerous casinos in the area) as it is a stopover for transients traveling the I80 corridor. In addition to rv parking there is a presence of park models totaling about 25. This is your basic campground; the main building houses the office, the store with rv products and minimal grocery provisions; a social room for gathering; a laundry room and bathrooms/showers. And there is a dog park. The park itself sits on level ground with a slight slope; accordingly the level asphalt sites do cant slightly from left to right so some leveling is necessary. The pads are long, approx. 70’ and narrow (there is no patio per se) approx. 10’. The grounds are populated with trees affording some shade and the campground is all gravel between sites with good spacing between sites, but not overly generous. A picnic table is provided. Both laundry and bathroom/shower rooms are generously sized; they are clean and utilitarian. The FHU is standard and the 50 amp service was stable allowing to consistently draw 60 amps. WiFi was acceptable for retrieving email; it did support streaming music and movies with buffering using our Winegard ConnecT with signal of 61% and -53dBM. The WiFi broadband had problems as at times there was no or slow response so not sure what the issue is; appears to be a latency problem (speed test: 1.4 Mbps download, 0.9 Mbps upload). Using our Winegard Rayzor Automatic enabled us to pull in the local tv channels in HD on our OTA. Cell phone service was 5G with three bars.
The Takeaway: A basic campground with wide streets, numerous trees throughout providing some shade with long pull thru sites that are mostly level. Sites include a picnic table and gravel area; there is a dog park. The bath/shower and laundry rooms are huge, clean and functional. WiFi internet is marginal for streaming, which is better than what is provided in the campground market today. Located on the I80 corridor this, like the other numerous rv parks in the area, is a stop-over with daily transients.
