Beautiful lake but the place is not for free! In the afternoon Beach control came and told us that we have to pay 32,50$ per car and night. It is to be payed either online or at the Ranger station.
There are no amenities, not even a trash bin, so we didn’t stay.
Lovely this time a year. Plenty of spots. Beautiful lake and surroundings. Great Verizon cell. Dusty roads but any vehicle can drive them.
Report Check-InTried twice, gave up. First time arrived after dark on a Saturday night. First problem is the road along the lake is 65 MPH, and none of the unpaved roads leading to the lake are marked with signs, so high anxiety when you slow to look at any road with cars riding your ass. Then I found what looked to be a good sight, got out and found glass everywhere. Moved to a second site, same thing. Broken glass seems to be a common thing in boondocking sites in Nevada, but this place charges you 32 bucks a night, you would think it would be better. We gave up and went to Sparks Costco parking lot which we had planned to go the following day anyway, which is only 30 minutes away. Next day we decided to give Pyramid Lake a second d chance by daylight. So we head for the Marina at Sutcliffe to get the 32 dollar permit. They are open but sign says get the permit at the rangers office next door, but they are closed (5:30 pm on a Sunday). Check at the marina store says you have to buy the permit online if the Rangers office is closed. Both me and my wife tried but all their website did was put us into a neverending loop after getting our name, dob, address, phone #, and drivers lic #. So we left. Interesting that when I tried to Google Maps and Waze to direct me there, both said no route detected. Maybe someone trying to tell me something!
Report Check-InAbsolutely gorgeous morning views and amazing stargazing! Make sure to get a permit (available online).
Report Check-InPyramid Lake is a gem! Great camping spot. There is lots of beaches all along the south western shore on your way to the town of Sutcliff that have dirt roads for primitive camping. Please note that everything south of Sutcliff has fireworks allowed. Everything north of Sutcliff has no fireworks. Pelican Point Beach has concrete slabs for easy parking with pit toilets and fire pits. We were here in May and had the whole beach to ourselves. There is also a large dumpster at the pier for garbage. The town of Sutcliff has one store where you can get water, booze and some random groceries but the food situation is limited and there are is no fresh produce. $32 a night to camp, which you can buy at the ranger station or online.
