Full hookups, clean and neat grounds with a beautiful view. SXS trails too
GuideNice 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.
TravelerLocated 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).
ScoutEli koa has been great to us each we've been here, the managers went above and beyond for us. Thank you TJ see you all in October
GuideChecking in was great, the staff was very friendly. Nice site level clean and spacious. They had plumbing issues with one of bath houses, the other one was close. Great last minute stop in the first snow of the year.
ScoutWonderful host, clean and quiet!
TravelerIf you gotta go KOA, the Ely NV is as good as they go. Clean rest rooms and helpful owners.
ScoutNice folks, very helpful and facilities are very clean!
RangerTypical KOA with large sites, although not much vegetation in between. Close to town. Surrounded by BLM land for lots of roaming. Nice staff.
TravelerThis 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.
LegendThis place is great it has a pool, playground, so many family activities, a big grass area for the tent campers which is super cool, cabins available, propane refill station, amazing staff nice parking areas, nice RV spots with full hook ups, laundry room, tables at each spot, just so your aware the entire lots to drive through are all dirt and gravel so if you’re planning to bicycle it may be a little hard but other than that really great place up in Ely
ScoutThis 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.
GuideThis 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.
GuideThis 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.
LegendIt’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!
ScoutIt had everything we wanted and was was far enough outside of town to be quiet. Very peaceful location.
RangerFun riding for rzr and close to Beautiful Cave lake. Not much going on at koa thou
ScoutI absolutely love this campground. I stayed in one of the cabins for 4 days and it was great. It has air and heat along with a small fridge. The porch had a nice swing to enjoy! The bathroom was clean and showers clean and hot. NIce quIet campground and also has a nice country store. I can't waIt to go back again this weekend!
