We really like this campground and go often they do have some sites first come first serve tho we have always I believe made a reservation because we have been by the first come first serve sights seem to be always full ! Nice bath rooms/showers at the end of the campground is a beach a slight reddish tint but still very nice to swim and a small play ground ! its about ten miles to Ely many places to eat and shop Zups has really good Smoked Cheddar polish ! We ate at a couple different restaraunts in town kinda spendy but very good food also ate in at Dominoes on main street I think it was the Best Dominoes Pizza I ever had ! Nice drive up 169 since they redone the highway!
