FERNLEY RV PARK

Last year while working for Amazon.com in Coffeeville KS, we stayed in a RV park right across the street from Amazon itself.  It made it an easy commute with me walking for the most part to and from work.

Last season while there, I did a blog on the park and described the set up.  Although it was very  spacious from site to site-it had a lot of issues like constant water breakage and even electrical lines breaking due to large rigs.  When they completed the shower house-that became a joke in itself-for when one person showered it about ran out the main doorway-literally!

The weather in Kansas seemed to be gloomy and rainy; making the final decision that we would not return there this year, but instead try Fernley NV.  We had been told how nice the RV parks around Fernley and Sparks were that Amazon contracted with.  True to what has been said-we are presently sitting in a very nice RV Park this season.

Fernley RV Park is situated right on the western side of the town, Fernley NV.  Within walking distant to downtown businesses and a few casinos, not to mention some nice restaurants.   I’m not really in walking distant to Amazon-although if I was to be more ambition-I could walk to and from work; for it’s less than 3 miles-one way.  However after being on my feet for the 10 hours-I don’t think I’m in the mood to walk home at night.  So I choose to drive instead.

But getting back to the park; it’s not very big.  Fernley RV Park only has 40 sites-small enough for us to become acquaintance with each other, but big enough to help a neighbor out when one needs it or left alone if we chose to be.  Right now there are a few what we would call “locals” that have been here for a couple of years.  We have become fast friends with them.  We have met some folks that just stop here for a lay over for a night or two and then move on.  Each week a few more of us Work Camperforce are showing up to start our seasonal work for Amazon and soon the park will be completely filled to the brim.

The park has all blacktop roads and cement pads with a picnic table to each site.  The office is kept very clean and those that run have always been very pleasant to us.  Both Owner and Managers don’t give you the feeling that they don’t like their job or that they don’t want you here-it’s just  the opposite.

Mail is kept organized and not thrown out on some coach.  We each have a small grassy area that is watered nightly-very green.  The elderly gentleman that mows does a fantastic job and makes sure that he’s very careful around all of our rigs-and he manages to do it with a smile on his face!

It’s nice to come home from work and being as dirty as I am, walk into the shower building that has been kept very clean and guess what?  Yep!  Water doesn’t flood the whole place and run out of the building!

Even the laundry facility is immaculate and very reasonable.  Enough to where we don’t want  to go anywhere else to do our laundry-what a nice conveniences for us RV’ers working for Amazon.com!

On the back side of this park also is a small mobile home village and we are getting to know a few of them back there as well.  The mobile home has a mixed diversity of Hispanic and Americans and both seem to be very nice as we walk through.  Several have fallen in love with our little Leah, including this Spanish lady that tries to speak to her and we just don’t understand what she is saying-but Leah seems to like her as well.

Did I mention that since being here, we have seen some beautiful sunsets?  And that just outside of the park wall are some spectacular mountains and wild horses run just not too far away from here?

All in all if I were to rate this park-it would mostly defiantly get a 10+ rating.  You know-I just might have to go online and do just that!!  Two thumbs up Fernley RV Park-you are doing a great job and Thank You for Making us Work Camperforce feel right at home!!
