After last year’s trial run went successfully, Nevada State Parks is moving forward with full implementation of the day-use reservation system at Sand Harbor State Park.
The implementation begins on April 15th.
The day-use system is designed to protect the park’s natural beauty and resources, while making the experience better for visitors.
The reservations will be required daily during peak season, which runs from April 15 until October 15.
Anyone entering Sand Harbor by auto between the hours of 8:00 a.m.—when the park opens—and 10:30 a.m. are required to have a reservation. After 10:30, any unclaimed reservation spots will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The reservations are set up in a three-tiered system to ensure fairness in the process:
- Tier One includes 200 day-use reservations that are available 90 days in advance.
- Tier Two has 100 day-use reservations and are available 30 days in advance.
- Tier Three holds 50 day-use reservations that can be reserved seven days in advance.
Reservations for visitors starting April 15 will be made available this Wednesday, January 15.
All visitors are encouraged to grab their spots as early as possible to ensure access during the busy season.
Reservations must be made through the Reserve Nevada website. Park entrance fee is $10 for vehicles registered in Nevada, and $15 for out-of-state vehicles.
A $5 fee is added to all reservations except day-of.
