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 75 mph 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.

Ward Mountain Campground has a wonderful group of sites for bigger rigs. The bathrooms are very clean for pit toilets. Lots of trails for hiking and biking. Very nice group sites with an amphitheater, pig roasting pit, swings for kids, horseshoe and volleyball pits. Overall, a very peaceful and fun place to go for a dry camping experience.

Easy to find. Clean site, friendly host. Only spent the night. But, I wouldn't mind spend a few days there.

Very spacious campsites, and not busy when we were there in late September. There are three large group areas close to the campground which might indicate it is more bustling sometimes.

I like this campground in the Pinon/Juniper forest. Just far enough from the highway to be quiet, lovely campsites, lovely setting.
