This has become a favorite campground for us. The work that was done to upgrade the campground is amazing. We love being next to the fabulous mountain biking trails.

We loved this CG. High elevation and cooled off at night. Nice big sites. Quiet and clean. Nice cooking stands.

Our campsite was nice and in good condition as well as quite clean. However, since the water was turned off, I have rated this campground lower than I normally would. It is a very nice facilty with many trees. Without water, it created a problem for us. The vault toilets were clean.

Each site was not completely separated but had a good amount of privacy. The camp host was extremely welcoming and patrolled the area well. Each site has some trees, so great for hammocking!

We have camped here twice on our trips to other places. But now we want to return and spend a few days in the peace and quiet.

The camping sites were amazing. Nice and large and level spots for motorhome or tent. It was clean and inviting. The view of the surrounding mountains was beautiful. The bathrooms though pit toilets did not smell and were always clean. This is an excellent campground.

Wide, level sites with gravel surface. Includes grill, fire ring, stand for portable stove and level wood picnic table. Campground host was friendly and diligent. This campground is on the top of the summit and it gets breezy up here. We has 75MPH gusts one evening we were there. Water was not available but we were warned by email in advance and filled our fresh water tanks before coming in. Only 15 minutes to Ely, NV.

Very nice campground. Everyone we met was friendly. Very close to Ely and little more than an hour to Great Basin NP. If you haven't been to GBNP make sure to put it on your list. Love that area around Ely too.
