This campground was great. It was close to Ely but far enough away to see great stars at night. My sight was level and the grounds are really well maintained. I had a clean water spigot across from my spot.

Excellent mountain campground just outside of Ely, NV. Very low usage at the time, nice and quiet. Just a stop on a road trip, but could easily see this a a multi-day camping spot with lots of hiking and mountain bike trails accessed directly from the. Campground

Nice campground. Very well maintained with a personable host. Spaces are well separated with many pull thru spots. Lots of clean pit toilets spread throughout the park.
Forest service has cut water to the park for extended maintenance. While that is a big inconvenience, the lack of a dump station means that water usage must be conserved anyway since the only dump is down the hill to Ely.

Campground was clean and well laid out, and the campsites were spacious and well equipped (fire ring, picnic table, etc). It was nice that my campsite backed directly onto the trails I came the campground to bike, so the access was nice. The stars were very clear above at night. The vault toilets were clean and accessible.

Really fantastic, clean and well-maintained, easy to find. I was in a site fairly close to the highway and you do hear some of the big trucks on the hill throughout the night, but it was not bothersome.

John was an amazing host! He was so kind and helpful. The entire camp was clean, with newly stained tables and benches. We throughly enjoyed our stay and greatly appreciated having a host that was happy to see us! We will be back to visit soon.
