Really enjoyed learning about the area. However, It is so remote with a 200 mile round trip to get gas, groceries or anything. This campground desperately needs to re-open the dump station at a minimum. Long stays are prohibitive without a dump station, propane fill, etc.

The rating was a review of the overall experience. The camp ground was somewhat rustic but expected. If pulling a camper longer than 28 feet, be mindful of the camping spots. More important is to pay attention to the weather; it is possible to have a snow storm in May!

Beautiful campground. We were in site 13. No Verizon service but my neighbor with AT&T had reception. Hosts Nancy and Joe were very helpful and the the facilities were very clean. A peaceful place and the marshes are a great place to see birds, waterfowl and pronghorn.

My camping experience was fine and uneventful. Other campers might want to know that due to proximity to huge wetlands the mosquitoes are more numerous than what one might expect for Nevada—I was there in a rainy early June. Also if there is some way on the planning section to indicate that the roads south from the campground, Ruby Valley Rd. then White Pine Canyon Rd #3, are mostly unpaved, dirt/gravel roads for 61.5 miles until UT Highway 50, that would greatly assist trip planning. I was directed to those roads by my map service with no warning that I would have to travel at 20-35 mph for 60 miles. The roads are plenty wide, but often washboarded as they are used by mining trucks and heavy equipment.

Very well maintained campground. The vault toilets were the cleanest toilets I’ve ever seen! Campsites are spread out, great hiking nearby.
