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.

This is a very clean and well-designed campground. It has nice camp spot amenities and the restrooms are very clean. It is an easy drive from Ely, and only an hour from GB Natl Park.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
