I don't do reviews very often, but this campground was so amazing I just had to! The bathrooms were spotless every time we used them, the sites were clean and level, and the host was very attentive. I have never been in a cleaner, more well kept camping site and we will definitely tell all of our friends and family coming to this area to use this campground.

Nice campground, nothing flashy, close proximity to Ely. No creeks, lakes, historical items, etc. Just a campground to get away.

Our second time here and we absolutely loved it (again)! The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. We will be back again soon before summer ends.

We also love the beautiful town of Ely.
