One of the best CGs we've stayed in. Very clean and maintained. Water was down, but we carry our own.

Received an email the day of our arrival stating Ward Mountain Campground had no water. Of course we did not get email as we were traveling. As if that was not bad enough, they also do not provide trash dumpsters. Might as well do dispersed camping and save yourself the money.

The campground clean and peaceful. I didn’t use the restrooms but the campground in general was excellent. The trails going from and around the area were awesome!

This is a nice park, with the cleanest pit toilets ever! The sites are not that big - so if you have a bigger set up (our trailer is 17 feet) it'll be tight. Loop A seems to have less space between sites, but loop B was great. If you are tent camper the sites will have plenty of space for everything. Lots of mountain biking/horse trails right from the campground.

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.
