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!
GuideWe were able to to get a pill thru site for our 42 foot toy hauler. First night was great, and we had good views from our windows. The following nights we had neighbors, and slide outs were nearly touching, and require you to (for privacy) keep your shades drawn. The gardens, stream, pond, and very knowledgeable and friendly hosts make up for it.
ScoutThis is BLM land. There are mountain biking trails nearby too. Rock fire ring and plenty of space for big rigs. Not too many bugs. Some road noise from I-80 but not too loud.
TravelerSpent a week here. Trees are in a lot of the spaces, which is nice to see and have in this part of Nevada. A lot of locals here because of the work in Elko. The staff was very friendly and made you feel very welcome. Restrooms, laundry, 30 and 50 amp services, propane, sewer, and water. We have a 37' Class A, fit in nicely. Not a lot to do, Sinclare gas station with a small grill is not far away. Everything else is in Elko. All in all a nice stay.
GuideWe spent a night in hot August here in our Westfalia camping van. There are no tent sites but cabins and RV spots. Nice bathrooms, showers, a playroom with a ping pong table. The cabins looked attractive. It looked like a lot of people were there long-term. It really is more for RVers and those that want to stay in a cabin. I would recommend, except there is a train that goes by at least two times and blows its horn (this on a Saturday night). The coyotes in the middle of the night were wonderful but the trains weren’t. Also I had trouble getting on the internet with my iPhone 6–couldn’t connect to their WiFi.
TravelerNice, clean and very welcoming hosts. Laundry room consists of one washer and dryer. Bathrooms are a single room (one for men one for woman) one flush toilet and one shower. There is a decent size "dog park" to let your dog go roam off leash. The convenience store has beer, cider, single use laundry fixings, some chips and some basic needs items. As of this writing, our pull through with water and electricity was under $50 for the night. This spot is a great jumping off spot for side by side enthusiasts to go and explore. I believe the host would be happy to point you in the right direction. About an hour easy drive to Craters of the Moon Nat Mon.
GuideJust passing through and not expecting much but this campground surprised me. It’s clean with friendly staff and plenty of shade trees! Amenities: full hook-ups, small swimming pool/spa, dog park, playground, good sized game room with pool/air hockey/ping-pong/and foosball! Definitely would stay here again!!
GuideWhat a beautiful little place! Green grass all over, and big shady trees. Called in just before closing and they had a site available for the night. When we arrived, they came out to meet us and escorted us to our site: pull through, full hookups. Very friendly. Sites are long and narrow, room for the slide but you’re in your neighbor’s picnic table area. Can hear the freeway noise but it’s fairly constant so it was easy to tune out. Would definitely stay here again.
TravelerSmall RV Park set among mature trees. Grass and gravel pads. Near freeway. Nice stop for one night
