Welcome to Iron Horse RV Resort, nestled near Elko, NV. This place is a gem in the Nevada desert, offering a great spot for both short and long stays. It's conveniently located near the highway, making it an ideal stopover if you're just passing through.
The resort is known for its cleanliness and well-maintained facilities. You'll find clean bathrooms and showers, which are always a plus after a long day on the road. The sites come with concrete patios, flat and level gravel pads, picnic tables, and full hookups, making it easy to set up and relax. There are even mini bungalows available if you're looking for something a bit different.
One of the standout features here is the friendly and professional staff. They make check-in a breeze and are always ready to help with any questions you might have. The resort also has a small pool and a game room with a pool table and ping pong, which can be a fun way to unwind.
For those traveling with pets, you'll be pleased to know that pets are allowed. There's also a market on-site for any essentials you might need. If you're into grilling, fires are allowed, but you'll need to bring your own firewood.
While the resort is close to the highway, it's tucked down a private road, so you won't be bothered by traffic noise. However, do expect to hear the occasional train whistle during the night—it's part of the charm of staying in Elko.
If you have some time to explore, don't miss the free BLM California Trail museum just 10 miles down the road or the beautiful Lamoille Canyon. Both are worth a visit and add a bit of adventure to your stay.
Overall, Iron Horse RV Resort offers a comfortable and convenient place to rest, whether you're here for a night or a couple of weeks. Enjoy your stay!
