Best Glamping near Ely, NV

If you gotta go KOA, the Ely NV is as good as they go. Clean rest rooms and helpful owners.

Eli 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

This is a popular stop near the town of Ely (a couple miles north off the highway; the closest town is actually McGill). Because of its proximity to a major thoroughfare, and I guess what northern Nevada would consider a major town, it seems like it fills up quickly. There isn’t a lot of privacy from neighbors because the foliage is limited and the landscaping is minimal, but it’s clean, relatively quiet, well run, and a good pit stop if you’re making a run across this area of the country.

Recommend that, if you know you’re coming in advance, you go ahead and make reservations at recreation.gov.

There are two pit toilets in a pretty good state of cleanliness. Potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings. Out of the eleven sites total, five are considered group sites and six are considered RV sites (you can car/tent camp here no problem, however).

This 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

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).

We have been roaming around Nevada for a week now and this is the nicest campground we have stayed at. New bathrooms, clean, friendly and helpful staff and trees! There are trails right from the grounds for walking, biking, quading.

I 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!

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.

Wonderful host, clean and quiet!

Checking 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.

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

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 folks, very helpful and facilities are very clean!

Fun riding for rzr and close to Beautiful Cave lake. Not much going on at koa thou

It had everything we wanted and was was far enough outside of town to be quiet.  Very peaceful location.

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!

Beautiful tailpipes and aspens with a flowing creek. Road is a bit rough up, have the trailer secured. Bathrooms were clean.
