Ward Mountain Campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, spacious and private sites, and beautiful surroundings, making it an ideal spot for camping and outdoor activities. Many visitors appreciate the well-maintained facilities and friendly camp hosts, highlighting the campground's quiet atmosphere and access to hiking and biking trails. However, some concerns were raised about noise from the nearby highway and the lack of water availability, but overall, guests expressed a desire to return for future visits.

Really enjoyed Ward Mountain campground. VERY clean and well kept by the hosts. Looked like a nearly new fire ring, BBQ and a separate stand for propane stove or your own BBQ. Clean air and lots of stars. And very quite. Just the occasional 18 wheeler coming up the grade. No water but that is not the fault of the operators. I would recommend for a night or a week and it's short drive to Ely for shopping or an evening out.

Lots of shade, really nice camp host and clean toilets. We were just doing an overnight passing through but I’d stay there again for sure.

Very nice place with trails available. I had full cellphone service out here, surprisingly. It's a shame there isn't a creek or anything out here (as far as I could see).

This place is impeccably clean. The bathrooms look brand new. Sites are really nicely laid out, especially in the loop by the mountain bike trailhead. Plenty of available sites on the August weekend I was there. This area is beautiful. I look forward to coming back.
Ward Mountain mtb trails were pretty good, but I recommend not trying to climb back over the mountain to get back to the camp once you go down the trails on the East side of the mountain heading toward Ely. It wasn’t too bad to pedal back up the highway for 6 mi. I hear the Cave Lake trails may be even better.

The campsite was nice and the campground host very friendly. The skies are very dark so star gazing is AMAZING. We enjoyed our night stay. There is no water at the campground though, and there has been none since May. Just make sure to bring bottles of water with you or have some in your camper. You will enjoy your stay at Ward Mountain.
