The campground was very clean, spaces are nicely spread out (a few are closer together but most have a good amount of distance between them). Bathrooms were very clean and camp hosts were very helpful. The hiking trail right out of camp was beautiful and well maintained (I'd say moderate the farther you go). We went in early June and lots of water in the river and waterfalls everywhere. Just a lovely weekend and we definitely want to go back as there are plenty of sites and hikes nearby.

Dare I say the prettiest campsite in Nevada? Our new favorite overnight spot along 80 to get between CA and UT.

What a beautiful area - the Lamoille Valley. We only wish we had more time to spend. Will return to hike the Canyon trail to some of the alpine lakes.
The camp hosts were helpful, giving us tips on where to hike and other info about the area.

We ended up not staying in campground as the weather was very poor with snow & ice on the road. We decided it was too dangerous to continue up canyon with our RV, especially as there is no cell service for help. We ended up staying in a RV Park in Elko.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
