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.

Nice campground. Very well maintained with a personable host. Spaces are well separated with many pull thru spots. Lots of clean pit toilets spread throughout the park.
Forest service has cut water to the park for extended maintenance. While that is a big inconvenience, the lack of a dump station means that water usage must be conserved anyway since the only dump is down the hill to Ely.

Excellent mountain campground just outside of Ely, NV. Very low usage at the time, nice and quiet. Just a stop on a road trip, but could easily see this a a multi-day camping spot with lots of hiking and mountain bike trails accessed directly from the. Campground

This campground was great. It was close to Ely but far enough away to see great stars at night. My sight was level and the grounds are really well maintained. I had a clean water spigot across from my spot.

Campsites are well spaced with good privacy. Campground and bathrooms were clean, and campground hosts were around and working to keep things nice. Easy to get in and out of there for adventures or the great trails right there. We appreciated that they had water available. Peaceful mountain campground with trees providing good shade in each site. We've already booked a return visit and will definitely stay here every time we pass through the area.

Midweek, the campground had only a handful of campers. Sites were spaced nicely with some privacy.clean and easily accessible. No highway noise. Great 1 night place... not much to do.

This is the newest and nicest USFS we’ve ever stayed in! The majority of sites are actually level, several are pull thrus so we didn’t have to unhitched our towed Jeep. Outhouses were spotless. And the group sites we unbelielveable - large covered pavilions for dozens of people complete with volleyball court and horse shoes. Water faucets we working during our stay. Way to go to the USFS office in charge of this campground!

Always a great campground, the hosts do a good job there.
There's no water, hasn't been for years. Bring a bunch of your own, enough to put out your fire.

Campground has nice tent/rv pads, picnic tables, fire pits and BBQ grills. The pit toilet facilities were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Mountain biking/hiking trails right from camp, OHV riding and x-country skiing/snow shoeing would be possible also. Potable water hydrant is now operationally when I was there in May 2024. Only about 10 mi out of Ely, so easy access to groceries etc as need. Enough trees for intervals of shade.
