    The Ely KOA proves there's more to Nevada than casinos and neon. It's where high desert meets the mountains of Great Basin National Park, with meadows, forests, wildflowers, streams and lakes - and the fascinating marble/limestone formations of Lehman Caves. Explore ghost towns left behind from the 19th-century silver rush. Ride the Ghost Train of Ely for a trip into the past. Recreation includes hiking and ATV trails, garnet hunting, fishing, boating and swimming on Cave Lake. Fishing supplies available at KOA. Enjoy a beautiful RV Site with a patio area, private lawn and LP gas grill. Or choose an extra-long pull thru. If primitive is your thing, you'll love the lush, grassy Tent Sites and Camping Kitchen. This campground has rustic comfy Cabins and a Deluxe Cabin - complete with a full bath, kitchenette and LP gas grill. Family fun includes a playground, nightly outdoor movies, scavenger hunts and ice cream socials. Two dog walk areas and on-site corrals keep your four-legged travel companions happy.

      Clean and Gorgeous Trees Everywhere, Super Friendly Staff

      Nice quiet park just outside Ely. As usual with KOA, it was bit on the pricey side. They could have used some dust control on the gravel roads as well.

      Overall, the place was clean and quiet, sites were level, and the front desk lady was so friendly! I only stopped here for one night, but would stop again if I was in the area.

      If they get the dust under control, I would have left 5 stars.

      Nice location and great staff

      Located outside of Ely, but close enough if you need to run into town.

      Staff was great, informed us about facilities and also map listed restaurants that deliver.

      Hometown Pizza delivers to your site, good pizza.

      They do inform you that by state law they have to have water pressure regulators on the water hookups so no need to add yours. (in Las Vegas at the KOA they had no idea what I was talking about but since we were within the city limits may not be needed).

      Great view of the night sky after dark, dog parks are decent size, but by the time we got their our dog had found a spot on the roads.

      Site pretty level, site and roads are gravel. Appears to be quite a few long term campers.

      We were only there one night, but with everything if offers appears to be a place to stay for a week if so inclined.
      Gets chilly at night, high altitude (close to 7,000 ft in elevation).

      Good KOA

      Typical KOA with large sites, although not much vegetation in between. Close to town. Surrounded by BLM land for lots of roaming. Nice staff.

      Nice KOA

      This review is for the KOA Journey just south of town on 93. We’ve been dry camping and hitting lots of free and cheap sites for a few weeks with our 17’ trailer . We wanted one night with hookups, hot showers with good water pressure, a laundry, WIFI, and quiet. This KOA delivered! No reservation needed and $48 including tax seems like a fair price. Super clean. Lots of RVs in sites pretty close together but doesn’t matter when it’s 20-degrees outside.

      Nice Amenities

      This campground included a bathroom, showers and a small shop with camping supplies. The campsite was padded with grass, which is much more comfortable than sleeping on dirt. Overall a pleasant stop on our way north.

      Standard KOA with a few surprises

      This place is giant! There are tons of RV spots as well as a tent area and some cabins. We stayed here to visit Great Basin National Park because the weather was going to be too cold to camp in the park safely without hookups for us. We also used this KOA as our midway point to dump and refill our water between campsites without water. It had what we expected of a KOA - friendly staff, full hookups, easy level pull through sites, a playground, store, etc. The surprises for us: no pool (not that we wanted one), adorable neighbor goats, and two dog parks areas (one with grass). Our dog loved the dirt dog park. It was great giving him a chance to run around off leash for a bit on our trip since everywhere we went he had to be on-leash. The goats were a fun surprise, too, since we love watching goats.

      Nice, safe overnight stop in Ely

      This is your typical KOA.  Open area with several pull thru's for big rigs.  They have a decent little store with drinks, snacks, and novelty items.  My daughter (8) loved the playground.  We were only there for one night on our way to Utah.  It was full and on the high side as far as price.  They charge $6/night extra per adult, if you have more than two adults.  Children are an extra $5/night.  We didn't need to use the restroom, showers, or laundry facilities so I cannot comment on those.

      All the basics you need

      It’s a KOA Journey, so, close to a “major” road (RT 93), which was very quiet despite proximity. It’s got nice views across the street, so if you’re on the first row of campsites, you’ll get front row seats. The spaces are quite close together, so privacy is minimal, though everyone was very respectful and quiet during quiet hours. Nice spot for access to Great Basin NP (which is a jewel, btw). Lots of options for fishing, kayaking, and other outdoor activities nearby too. We went to Cave Lake and were not impressed but... maybe it was just the wrong time of year (end of May). Sites are mostly level and big-rig friendly, hookups on site were reliable!
