Well maintained. No water, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

I reserved a site at Ward Mountain several months in advance. When I arrived, someone else was in my spot and had their RV and gear all spreadout and hour after I was supposedly able to check in. I saw my name on the site post and the folks there were not scheduled until the next day. I have to go elsewhere. VERY disappointing that the site host didn't check sites after the check out time. I put in for a refund and now, two weeks later, I am finally getting a refund of only less than half what I paid. VERY VERY disappointing.

Hello. Our weekend campout celebrated five years of coming together for the weekend at Murray Summit. And everything was just absolute perfection. The group site, surrounding campground and bathrooms were all immaculate. The camp host was extremely friendly and helpful. It rained on Friday as we were packing in - couldn't have asked for better weather or a better setting. Thank you!

Nice campground in the middle of nowhere. The biggest piece of info to know is, ALL of the water spigots are locked closed. There is no water available even though the host has water, electric, and sewer dump, but nothing but a parking spot for the public customer. I thought campgrounds were made to provide a service to the public?... Well, a parking spot is what you get. Go Figure.

We stayed for just one night but enjoyed our stay. A positive for this campground is that there are plenty of group sites along with buddy sites which we enjoy as we travel often with other campers. There were plenty of trees and the sites were far enough apart to enjoy some solitude.

Clean and easily accessible campground in the high desert. Camped here because Great Basin was chock-full. Was nice to be close to Ely to grab coffee in the morning on the way to the park. Ranger was cordial.
