★★★★★ 5.0 R Trussell · Dec 2025

Great place to camp! Spaces are spread out so you're not atop other campsites. I carcamped there during the government shutdown, and expected it to be packed. Instead there were only four other sites taken. The place was spotless, the tent site were immaculate, and the bathrooms pristine. Somebody must've been picking up the trash in spite of the shutdown too. You could hear cars on the highway if there was no wind, but it wasn't noisy at all. 10 out of ten - would camp again!!

Really nice dry campground, fresh gravel in the spaces. Enough room in our first come campsite for our 34 foot fith wheel and truck. No water at this time. Higher altitude, (7K) so cold overnight but that is what the furnace is for. Some trails for horses and hiking. Tables, grills and fire pits at each site.

A great campground with trees, the sites were beautiful. There were three loops and sites were well spaced so you wouldn’t feel you had a neighbor. I tent camped, there was a tent pad at every site . (It was fly season which can’t be helped. No host has control over that!) I camped here quite a few years before and I’d camp here again. Love it here!

This campground has been completely overhauled and boy is it nice. Sitting at about 7500’ off hiway 6 just outside ely, nv. Great trail system, super quiet even though well subscribed when we overnighted. Sites were well spaced and most had good screening from neighbors. All new fire pits, tables, grill platforms, level parking and good gravel roads. Great infrastructure, but no water available at this time. You can reserve on rec.gov but there were a number of FF sites too.

★★★★★ 5.0 James Boyle · May 2025

Clean modern US Forest Service Campground. Has reservable and non reservable sites. Easy access off US 93 out of Ely. The sites have new picnic tables, charcoal grills, camp stove stands, and fire rings. We'll packed gravel for RV or Tent camping. Some of the cleanest Pit Toilets I've seen.
