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.

We always enjoy our stays at Ward Mountain Campground. Usually we stay twice a year while traveling to visit family and it is easy to make reservations, the campsites are nicely organized, the facility is clean and usually quiet!

Gorgeous location; camps are spaced nicely from each other with trees in between for a feeling of privacy. It's the perfect place to spend the night after a day at Great Basin. I will definitely camp here again, even though someone stole the spot I reserved ( still found a free spot).

Very nice clean campground. Lots were spacious and good hiking and biking. We got a notice that the water would be off which isn't a problem for us, but we noticed the campground was pretty empty and that was probably why. We enjoyed it and plan to go back.

We stay multiple times a year and always enjoy it. However, getting tired of excuses as to why the water isn’t turned on.

Though it was an overnight stop, the camp was a welcome respite. The sites were neat, and the area is definitely on my list of places to stop and spend more time exploring. I hope to come back again.

Beautiful campground. My reserved site (#29) was off-level, so I moved to #30, which was perfectly level and a much better site. I was there the first week in June, and the campground was less than 25% full - even the camp host wasn't on-site yet. If you are coming in the slower times, I recommend waiting until you get there to check out the sites. Even those sites that are reserved for the weekend are first come for that night if not reserved online. The sites are spacious, with a fire pit and really nice picnic tables. Pinion Pines and Junipers give many of the sites some shade. There are water spigots throughout (with threads), and the dumpsters are located at the entry to the campground.

Water at camp site wouldn’t pump… I was glad I packed enough that it didn’t become an issue. Bathrooms clean and stocked. Lots of small trees for shade, but it does get hot. Lots of bike/hike trails to explore. Only 7 min from town!!! Beautiful!!!
