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
TravelerAs 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.
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.
Traveler
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.
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.
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
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?
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.

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.
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.
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.
LegendGeneral: 25-site campground with electric hookups on the South Fork Reservoir. A handful of sites are reservable but most are first-come, first-available.
Site Quality: All sites are gravel (except the Handicap site) with electric hookups; most appeared level and some have a view of the reservoir. Covered picnic tables with a windshield (in front of a tent platform). Water spigots are located throughout the campground.
Bathhouse: Individual unisex units that were decent but no soap or paper towels. The shower looked like it needed a good cleaning.
Activities: We were there on a blustery Sunday in May but in season, you can enjoy water activities. Nearby rentals are available for boats, jet skis, kayaks, and SUPS. Short trails to the beach which was rocky but walkable. The weather was not forecasted to be pleasant during our stay – a high wind advisory with rain and snow and temperatures dipping into single digits overnight, so it was difficult to imagine what it would be like in the summer with all the water activities going on!
TravelerWe really liked this spot in Nevada. The reservoir is a nice thing to walk to, not much more. A pretty strong wind came out of no where right as we settled down to sleep, so just be aware that can happen. All in all, not a bad spot for a stop along any journey.
ScoutThe only reason I didn’t give it a 5 was we were in site one which is right at the entrance so there were a lot of vehicles going in and out. Great staff, nice camp sites. I would stay again even at site one.
TravelerNo frills RV park. Has this laundry room, clean and cheap. Right next to train tracks and lot full of heavy machinery. Mouse is too bad, surprisingly. Pets allied. Must be on leash with you. No tying dog out. No monthly rentals with dogs. No bullybreeds. Seems to be mostly full timers living here. Everyone keeps to themselves. Low water pressure. Good Verizon LTE. Poor T-Mobile

Would NOT RECOMMEND!! Had a very unpleasant stay here with my granddaughter. We came to visit my sister, her husband and my niece. Two of my sister's 40lb propane tanks were stolen, supposedly after they were filled with propane from this RV park. They reported to the staff the tanks where missing and possibly mistakenly taken. The staff told my sister to walk around and look to see if they spotted their tanks. My sister and her husband did so, but didn't see their tanks, so they went back to there trailer. A few minutes went by and 6' tall male employee came up, fast, on a quad with a buddy of his. He was VERY aggressive, extremely rude and argumentative. He even told my sister they stole their own tanks to avoid paying the propane bill! My granddaughter and I were too scared to even stay in our trailer and stayed in my sister's. Not only was there a thief on the loose, but now the staff at the RV park were coming at my brother in law, sister and escalating a very minor situation. All that man wanted was his money for the propane! Didn't once ask about my sister's stolen tanks! That staff member then called the Sheriffs department claiming a fight in progress. This aggressive staff member then claimed to be buddies with the sheriff's and said he's a volunteer fire fighter, to attempt to intimidate. My brother in law is a disabled vet from Iraq and he did his best to de-escalate the situation and I'm thankful. Four sheriff's showed up over this. I felt safe once they showed up and I told them so. This RV park didn't give a damn about the theft, just the propane. Trashy RV Park, I'll never go back. The showers and bathrooms where out of service as well. Dog poop from previous campers was all over. Just gross. Wi-Fi without internet FYI.
RangerOfficial campground is only open May-September. As noted by others there are a few dispersed sites off the entrance road to the official site. Views are stunning but most of the better sites are high clearance vehicle access only, with few turn around locations. Highway noise isn’t bad off hours, 1 bar ATT, none with Verizon. WeBoost helps.
GuideStayed one night while passing through Elko. Campground is about 10-15 minutes out of town but a world apart. Sites are very well spaced apart and quite large. Each site has a generous ramada over a picnic table for protection from sun or rain. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Took off one star for the bugs. They're attracted by light and will swarm into your tent or RV if you leave the door open even a second. One annoyance, the ranger sits at the entrance of each campsite with their truck loudly idling as they make their rounds. This is especially troubling late a night when most campers are already asleep.
ScoutFound this gem from a billboard that seemed too good to be true: $14/night for a spot with showers and laundry. We called to check it out and made a reservation. While it may not look like much, fourteen dollars was well worth the price. The spots have 30/50amp hookups, potable water, and sewer. The showers were hot with amazing pressure. The laundry facility was large and the washers/dryers worked well. It’s close to the highway and train tracks, but we didn’t really notice the noise. There is no WiFi, but our phone service was great. Would absolutely stay again.
TravelerSeveral dispersed camping sites before you get to the actual campground. Good spacing on the sites for privacy. Easy access to the creek for clean fresh water. Beautiful views!
