Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ruth, NV

This is an over all a good rv park off of the Main Street in ely. Full hook ups

Gravel roads throughout They do have pads that are not cement but gravel but they do have tables in them. Big trees for some shade which is always good. Close to the town and the rly airport. About 5 minute drive to the ely train station which is super neat and have plenty of things going on including polar express. About 5 minute drive to a gas station. Nice grass area through and a fog walking area.

It is right along US-93 N. We stayed 13 weeks in February--May 2018 (spouse is a Travel Nurse) They offer long term stays as well as daily travelers stopping for the evening. I believe the daily rate was around $35.00 and the monthly rate was $300. + electric. They have full hookups and also have a shower house with laundry & propane fill ups. Staff is very nice & helpfull. Best place to eat RACKSBar and Grill there is a nice grocery store Ridleys. Las Vegas is 4 hours south and UTAH boarder is close. BEST Coffee Espresso is Flower Basket & Espresso Depot

We have stayed here a few times with no issue. The people that answer the phone are nice and helpful. We stayed at this park along our commute to Oregon.

Full Hook Ups.

Easy to get into the park and easy to get situated. All dirty, with concrete pads for your RV or Trailer.

Not a bad spot, felt safe and headed out the next day during our commute.

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.

well, it's not the best but it's affordable if you need a quick spot and nowhere else to go.

They do have showers 

 pull-through sites

full hook ups

Not much else to be said about this place... except your on the main street of ely so it could be loud.

This place is a little ran down but it does have pool through sites with full hook ups showers and bathrooms it’s nearby to a lot of things and it’s also on a main road so I’m sure you’ll probably get a lot of noise other than that if you need a place that’s affordable this place is here

I would add a half star if I could; if you like funky, then maybe 4 stars. This is a typical parking-lot style RV park sprinkled with elm trees. Very convenient to Great Basin visitor center and national park, which offers great hiking and views. RV park surface was a mix of dust and gravel. Hookups were fine. Laundry was excellent: reasonably priced and very clean. Nice to have shared clothesline available for use. Bathrooms / showers were very clean. Would have appreciated signage requiring masks in shared areas especially coming into another Corona spike.

There were two of us in RVs. We stayed in spots 3 and 5.  We were able to park so that both of our RVs opened to make the area in-between us as the common area.  There are several big trees so we had some shade some of the time.  Rustic and a bit dusty, but for a base camp it fit the bill.   We were there in end of June 2024.  The weather was in the high 90s so we were so glad we had full hook-ups.  We did not use the bathrooms so I have no comments about them.  We did use the laundry room and they had several nice washing machines and dryers.   All spots were sold out on the weekend so make reservations early.  Jen, the manager, is super nice and friendly.  Note about Lehman Caves:  Lehman caves were amazing. Make sure you make reservations early and purchase your tickets for the tour of the caves before you get there.  Several people that just showed up were not able to get tickets to go inside Lehman Caves.

We had wanted to camp near to Great Basin National Park, but decided against trying for something in the part, as we did not want to boondock for that many days. The TINY town of Baker has two small RV parks, and Whispering Elms was our choice.

It is a facility that is far from glamorous. The grounds are mostly dirt and weeds and the worst part about staying here was indeed the dust that got kicked up everywhere. The sites are kind of close together, and there's nothing like picnic tables or really any kind of amenities to beautify the place. It is quite humble. The bathhouse was pretty rustic, BUT, everything worked great. Nice hot showers, regular cleanings, plenty of paper products. No complaints. The electric we used was clean. Water pressure was good. Hook ups were convenient and close to each other.

Service was nice. We mostly interacted with Dakota and Sam; both were friendly and helpful. No issues there. And please note, the building where you stop to check in is ALSO A BAR! With a respectable tap selection of Nevada beers, a beer case full of interesting beers and some unusual bar selections too. We hung out there a little bit three days, just sit at a table and chat and have some drink service. I was so surprised to find a bar here!

Great Basin is way off the beaten path; I'm not sure my travels will ever take me this way again. But if we do come this way, and want to stay near the park(5 miles from Whispering Elms to Lehman Caves visitor center; less than a mile to the regular visitor center), I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Just drive slow to avoid kicking up dust.

Full hookups, clean and neat grounds with a beautiful view. SXS trails too

Free campsites along the reservoir, windy up on the high spots. Fire pits, picnic tables (some with shade) and wind fences. Great views, better for campervan or RV camping just because of the high wind and no pads, but you could do it. No cell coverage on sprint or Verizon while here.

Very convenient for visiting Great Basin NP. Only option that had full hookups and allowed reservations (essential as we had our dog with us and wanted to be able to run AC, no dogs allowed on most of the trials in the NP). Plenty of space between sites. Camp hosts were nice, other campers were very friendly. There were showers and washing machines (we didn’t use as our trip was short and we had FHU). Nearest convenience store and gas station was 15 minutes away (Border Inn).

Beautifully managed because there is no concessionaire to muddle things up. This is a first class forest experience.

Arrive early--- No cell- No internet -- some sites restricted from RV's. Not many level sites.

Bring everything you need. No gas, no groceries for many, many miles.

23 sites--- (there is no site # 19.) numbered to 24. 18-24 are best for tents.

Exceptionally clean vault toilets. No bears in this park. There are 2-3 pull through sites and 2 good ADA sites.

Astronomy program is first class.

I was apprehensive after reading reviews for this campground about how unlevel the sites were. We travel and sleep in our 17 foot van without leveling blocks so we need a level site. Yes, some were not level (but many of those were tent sites) but we found many that were just fine! Site 1 was very level (and could accommodate a large RV). Probably the cleanest pit toilets I have ever seen! Many sites had lots of privacy between them. We were there at the end of April so many roads and hiking trails were not yet open so we toured Lehman Caves which I highly recommend (reserve ahead of time at Recreation.gov). All tours were booked for a Monday in April (when we booked day before, there were still plenty of openings). Limited or no cell service.

About 6 miles off the main highway on a good road. Lake is not much, but the area is beautiful. Lots of hiking in area. No hookups but there are flush toilets and showers. Would not recommend for large trailers as the CG road is a little tight. We have a 22 foot trailer and were OK.

Well maintained campground located near the Ward Oven historic site. Campsites are all level with shade canopies. Picnic tables, and BBQ. Some pull thrus that can accommodate larger trailers. Road in is 6 miles of good gravel. Water available but no electric or sewer. Lots of hiking trails and the Ward Ovens are interesting.

This is a very small campground with only about 10 sites. The sites are perfect for tent camping or for trailers and RVs. There are pit toilets, but no water available. At the present time no fires are allowed in the fire pits. Only propane cooking is allowed.

Nicely dispersed campsites tho dusty. No reservation campground with fire outs and picnic tables. Sites can accommodate RVs but not very level. Accessible via dirt road.

I see so many negative reviews for this place because the park itself looks a little beat up. Our neighbor even canceled their reservation because of “weeds.” If you can look past that, you’ll have a wonderful experience.

The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Everything works - showers, laundry, hookups - so even if it’s not recently updated, the important thing is it works.

The highlights are proximity to the park, the on-sight bar where you can mingle with the staff, locals, and travelers, and the quiet, super dark star-speckled nights.

We love this place so much that my husband is considering workamping in Baker next Season. We will be back.

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.

This was a beautiful campground with sites that were very private. It is great for tents and RVs. There were wildflowers around my site. It is located at 7500 feet elevation. I checked the campground website before going here and it said there was drinking water. There was not! The water was turned off for the season. Luckily, this has happened to me several times before, so I always bring extra water with me now. Since the water was turned off and it had vault toilets, I can only give it a 3 star rating. If the water was on (or the website information accurate) I would have given it a 4 star.
