Better location now for an overnighter than just 2 years ago
We had stayed here about two years ago when we were again going North out of the Las Vegas area. This review is written from an overnighter point of view versus a destination campground (CG). We were glad to see a high of 90 here versus the 110 prediction we’d just left. We were amazed how Tonopah had changed in two years and found out the reason. Silver and gold veins had again been found in the hills near here. The discovery of silver is what originally got this town started. Even the famous Clown Hotel and adjourning cemetery had a new owner and face lift. Several movies and documentaries had been made based on this haunted motel. Check in was easy and we were assigned pull through site 18 with FHUs out in the front (all the sites here have FHUs). The cost of the site seems to be based on how many times you have stayed here. We got a discount for being repeat customers. We hooked into their WiFi and found it OK. We also used their cable and found it to be a little fuzzy. Last time we were here both were better but there are way more people staying in the CG and motel this time around. There was a class A checking in at the same time and since they were staying a week they were placed in another area west of the office behind the motel. The sites back there are spaced a little wider apart. There were way more gas stations and restaurant options than last time. Even better location now for an overnighter as long as the boom continues.
