    High clearance for some great spots!

    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

    Southwest Shores — South Fork State Recreation Area

    Not free

    As of July 2024 there are no free spots. 15$ a night for in state and 20$ for out of state. The marker on the map is lying, don’t try to get to it very rough trails. There is some BLM land in the area which is free tho which is what I ended up going with.

    Quiet, clean and convenient

    Located 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.

    Great overnight spot!

    Great 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.

    Great Overnight Stop

    Perfect 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.

    Amazing few and a phenomenal host.

    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.

    Absolutely amazing!

    It 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.

    Level ground & clean showers

    (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.

    East Campground — South Fork State Recreation Area

    Wonderful sites with electrical hookups in middle of desert

    Nice campground with electrical hookups; nice bathrooms with showers. Sites  that overlook lake are closer together but sites with mountain views were spread apart. Minimal trees but most sites had shelters over tables.  Sites were First Come First serve but it looks like a reservation system is in the works. Most sites were occupied by evening despite being midweek and mid September. Not too far off highway 80 but far enough to feel like you are in a more remote area.

    It is what it is

    It 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.

    Easy access and quiet

    Great 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.

    Incredible view

    I 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!

    Nice, well kept CG

    We 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.

    Just Passing Thru

    Was 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?

    Road impassable

    We 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.

    Great Off-Grid Experience

    The 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

    Iron Horse RV Resort

    Professionally kept RV Resort

    The  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!

    Probably the best in Elko

    Clean 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.

    Coyote Cove, South Fork State Recreational Area

    CRAZY windy, but decent views

    All 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.
