Our property gets plenty of sunshine for most of the year in the summer months, with temperatures in July and August reaching the high 90's or more. We are in the desert, after all! Please bring plenty of water and be prepared for the elements that are unique to our region. As we are at considerable elevation, please be prepared for wind, as well! Tents are not suited for this environment.
Activities on the property and nearby:
Looking for that gorgeous Milky Way? Our property has some of the best star gazing anywhere in the country. At such a high elevation and away from all the light pollution, the stars just shine brighter here.
Plenty of sunshine for most of the year in the summer months, July and August it can get very hot. In the Winter you can take off in almost any direction on your snow shoes and cross country skis.
Only 90 minutes away are the stunning Ruby Mountains, great for hiking and exploring. As one Google reviewer said "Don't come here. It's just too beautiful and you wont be able to handle it!" - Jacob L.
Bring your fishing poles and watersports supplies, as the nearby South Fork Reservoir and Wild Horse Reservoir 90 minutes away are popular spots with the locals for fishing and fun in the sun by the water.
In the Winter months you can take off in any direction on your snow shoes and cross country skies for miles. There are exciting views everywhere you look! This is big sky country with great night sky views. If you're looking for a great dark sky destination, this is the spot for you.
This area has lots of wildlife like antelope, badgers, rabbits and this is open range for cattle. You may have a cow visitor! Please make sure to keep all food properly stored and disposed of so as to not attract wildlife to your campsite. Please be aware you may encounter wildlife and plan accordingly.
The never-ending changes in the sky (great storms and colorful sunsets) are humbling. The world goes on around me with little effect on my lifestyle. This is a majestic area with 11,000 ft. mountain peaks, great canyons and upper valleys.

Level sites. Well maintained...clean. We did the self check in. One night stay on our way to Oregon.

Much like the other reviews there are a few easy to get to spots off of FS Rd 660. After turning right onto the FS gravel road you can take a left or right to dispersed camping spots. If you continue straight you end up at a private campground, but plenty of space to turn around. We turned right off of the FS road, there’s revel spots easily assessable via car, we went further down, rock crawling, high clearance required, and found the perfect spot nestled in the trees about 10ft from Lamoille Creek. Spent 4 days there and only had two other veichles attempt to get further down. If you turn left off of FS 660, there are about 4 spots easily assessable, but if you keep going the last two spots (high clearance required) are right next to the creek, one with shade, one not so much
GuideLocated just around the corner from a full service (Def pumps) Maverick truck stop, this quiet RV Park is a convenient stop along I80. Pull into an open spot in the overnight section and then walk over to the office to fill out an envelope, deposit cash or a credit card slip (4% fee) and then hook up for the night.
The sewer, water, electricity and cable TV hookups are all in great working order in all the sites we saw. Wasn't busy the night we were here.
ScoutGreat place to spend the night. Very clean & well maintained. Level gravel sites. Gorgeous laundry facility! Directions to get here off the exit were incorrect. Just look for the Maverick gas station. Only negative was you had to pay for the showers - but the bathrooms were big & extremely clean.
ScoutPerfect overnight stop on our way back to California from Utah. Gravel pads. Owners were super accommodating and friendly. Called ahead, late arriving. Full Hookups great cause this is high desert and pretty hot in July.

We stayed on this property and had a great evening under the stars and especially enjoyed the view. Edward was amazing and always respond quickly and was so accommodating. We dry camped and it was cold but we were prepared with cold weather gear. We saw all kinds of wildlife and it was very quiet up on the hill. We will definitely be back if we are in this area.
Thanks Edward.
TravelerIt was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The host was accommodating and extremely friendly/ welcoming. The views from the top of the hill, both day and night, were breathtaking. We brought a telescope with us, and we were able to see Saturn's rings, Jupiter, and multiple other planets. The Milky Way seemed brighter and more vibrant. We will certainly be coming back here on our next trip. We pulled a 36' toy hauler and had no problems. There was plenty of room. I wish we could have stayed multiple nights, but our schedule required us to move on.
Traveler(Elko KoA)
Came in late for a quick stop on a trip home and needed showers, level ground, a place with quiet hours, and somewhere safe to call home for the night. And it checked those boxes.
I was pleased with how clean the showers were at the end of the day when we came in, and in the morning, they had been bleached.
Left before sunrise so I cannot attest to the cleanliness if the entire campground, but our site was level and tidy.
Traveler
Good spot for overnight. Near highway. Clean bathrooms and showers.
Guide
Escape the heat and enjoy the mtns and river. Campsites are easy to pull into
TravelerIt is a $15 a night rv park. If you want a $60 a night spot spend the $60. You get hookups a shower and laundry right off the 80. If that is what you want that is what you get.
GuideGreat place to stop for an overnight stay. All self-check in no staff when we were there. Good price for full hookups. Has super clean bathrooms with showers. Expensive $1.50 for 3 minutes, 50 cents for each additional minute. We chose not to use the showers at that rate.
ScoutI loved everything, the campgrounds are super beautiful, there is a lot of privacy between sites, easy check in. There are not showers even if in the description in the app it says that they have, I’ll recommend to bring your own firewood because they didn’t have any for selling when we went there. I’ll definitely come back!
TravelerWorth a stop in the spring for sure
LegendWe are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We were in site 54 for one night in late May. The CG is very clean and well maintained. Although, the CG website says they don’t take reservations, as they always have spaces available, but there were only a couple open when we arrived.
AT&T coverage was pretty good, ranging from 2-3 bars of 5G, with speeds up to 9 MB/s. Site 54 had access all 3 western DISH satellites.
GuideWas just an over night stop. Probably the best location in Elko, but.... the sites are very small in width. when we had our slides out, we were about 4 feet from our next door neighbor..Not bad if it is just overnight. But what if you were staying for several days?
GuideClean ,spaces very close to one another. Bathrooms are very clean $1.50 for 3 minutes. Laundry room very clean.
TravelerI just spoke to the manager here and they do not have tent camping.
TravelerWe went to have a looks and less than a mile in the road was covered by several feet of snow. We have a 4wd and I couldn't have gotten through without damage.
Traveler
The website clai.s this campground is open 24/7 365 days a year. We just drove out there to find it is closed. About 2 miles down the road Coyote Campground was open.
ScoutThe Biohome property is very user friendly with extremely nice views. Nothing but praise for the site from my past campers. I also offer a seminar on how you can create your own off-grid living, please ask for more details

TravelerThe Iron Horse RV Resort in Elko, NV is a real gem in the Nevada desert. It's on the main highway parallel to I-80 on the north end of town. You have to keep your eyes open on the right side to catch the entrance signage. The Resort is tucked down a private road. The office folks were very professional.
This RV Resort was extremely well kept and fairly quiet in the evening. Like many RV Resort these days, there are permanent or transient work related residents that are mostly out the perimeter sites.
All sites have concrete patios, flat and level packed gravel pads, picnic tables and full hookups. There are even a series of mini bungalows.
As you can see, Yoshi agrees!
GuideClean restrooms. The pool is tiny. In spite of appearing to be near the highway, the park is down a hill and there is no noise from it. The trains aren't terrible, but you can't escape them in Elko - expect a whistle sometime during the night. Good spacing between sites with grass. Lot's of full-timers but a number sites for short termers. Most are one-nighters. It is a shame not to stop at the free BLM California Trail museum 10 miles down the road, or Lamoille Canyon which is beautiful.
Scout
Peace and Quiet from all the hustle and bustle of the city life.
GuideAll of the camping spots are right on the water, no cover at all (this isn’t really a good tent camping or RTT site). A little awkward as there is a small neighborhood right behind you but the views of the mountains are good.
ScoutGood amount of space, clean, nice playground, nice laundry area, pool table, ping pong, and other games. Has a “spa” but it’s a little disappointing. Just keep in mind it’s a spa not a pool. Office staff is friendly! Would for sure stay again!!
LegendNice efficient check in. Good stop over along I-80 for a night. Clean well kept. Super small pool/hot tub but did the job. Fun game room that closes at 7. Quiet park. We met a whole bunch of retired couples with dogs - they make great neighbors. Easy walk up out of the park to a few restaurants / grocery store.
The boo side of our story - We arrived on an unusually windy, rainy and thunderstorm day for one night. This was night 28 of 36 on a road trip with the kids. We had made the reservation months previously and picked a location right next to the pool. Unfortunately these site selection campground are never guaranteed and we had been moved to the end of the row - we were bummed especially since no one from the groups adjacent to the pool ever used it that we saw. A small bummer. But what do you do.
