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.

Beautiful valley and wildlife refuge. Very remote. Good idea to carry extra gas. Campground clean and well maintained.

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!

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.

Nice quiet campground. Ours was an exploratory trip, roads easy to drive over though unsurfaced, best to access by Elko than Wells. Will return earlier in the season for wildlife viewing.

I have stayed here many times in the past and will say that the campsites and facilities are kept very clean.
The local camp host Ron was very helpful and accommodating to any needs we had.

We loved this camp ground. Our host was very nice and welcoming and the view was beautiful. If you are a fisherman this is a dream place.
