Good end spot with a bbq, firepit and patch of grass for the dogs and the dog park across the way. Nice clean showers. Very quiet. read more

Ely KOA - Ely Koa - RV Parks Near Me - Ely, Nevada

Hundred percent the nicest, best-maintained KOA park we've ever been to. We got a fully-furnished cabin, so it came complete with a bathroom and kitchenette. The cabin was clean and delightfully decorated, and the bed was comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and the environment so peaceful. Even the common-use restroom is spotlessly-clean and smells reassuringly of disinfectant. There's a small convenience store on site, managed by friendly people who are very knowledgable about the local area. Would love to come back in the summer and sit outside in the evening to enjoy the view. read more

I camped here for one night in the tent camping section. It is a small area but very tidy and plenty of room for my tent and gear. Then water from the well is good. The bathrooms were clean and modern. There was a problem with toilet paper which the staff corrected immediately. Even for a Saturday night it was quiet early and there wasn't much noise until 7am. My only real gripe is that the family on the opposite side of the tent area kept walking through my camp to get to the bathroom. The store is well stocked for most campers. A few smaller items would be nice for we motorcycle campers. I always need to replace something but my gear is backpacker rather than RV size. read more

Ely KOA - Tent site - RV Parks Near Me - Ely, Nevada

The campground is super clean. Nice pull through sites. Wi-Fi is pretty darn fast for campgrounds...we left the StarLink unhooked. Second time we have stayed here coming in when the office was closed and had a nice welcome envelope. read more

Clean and friendly, this is a great camping experience for the entire family! We stayed in the brand new, spacious covered wagons for a modern Nevada-style old west experience. The clean bathrooms and showers are private and just a few steps away. If you're a light sleeper, you may want to bring ear plugs. We didn't mind the occasional night traffic, but others might. A few small recommendations for the owners: more blankets (the comforter, although cute, is very thin), two more stools, and hooks for hanging clothes/hats/keys. The staff and facilities are superb! My family loved playing basketball at the half court (even though we lost our ball) and tossing the football on the lush grass. A truly modern campground with a nostalgic feel for these Gen-X parents. Comins Lake is just 5 minutes down the road and is perfect for fishing and paddle boarding. The 45-minute Success Loop drive is a MUST for gorgeous NV wildlife and beautiful trails. Please note that as of June 2022, the lake at Cave Lake is CLOSED. For a full Ely experience, grab a movie at the old Art Deco movie theater in downtown where our family of four spent less than $65 for tickets, sodas, beer, popcorn, and candy. Looking for eats? Be patient and polite, as like the rest of the U.S., small towns are struggling with staffing shortages too. Patience, kindness, and a good tip are appreciated. For breakfast, check out Nardi's for a fantastic food and great small town service. There is a shrine to former President Trump, but don't let that deter you, as the food was so good and portions humongous. Go hungry! Looking for a spicier breakfast or lunch? Roberto's is a must! Don't let the fact that this restaurant is located in the Dino Mart and lacks ambience turn you away; it is the best Nevada Mexican food I've had in a LONG time! Foot-long burritos and a SPICY salsa bar will tempt your tastebuds! Don't forget to order some chips! Unfortunately, pizza is NOT Ely's culinary forte, but if you want a fun ambient experience for dinner time, check out the Jailhouse Cell Block steak house. Overpriced and decent food, but the experience of eating in a cell block is fun for the whole family. It's about a 30 minute wait and understaffed, but a true flashback to the day when you could get a western restaurant experience in a casino. Did you forget something? C-A-L Ranch has everything from clothing (all sizes) to western gifts. And if you need a fishing license, kayak, or other sporting gear, Sportsworld is the place to go! Bring your adventuring spirit and good attitude and safely enjoy the open spaces of Ely, Nevada! read more

I am very impressed with this KOA! The bathrooms are very clean & spacious. Our campsite was huge! The people working in the store are very friendly. They carry essentials like paper towels, paper plates, etc., and also fun stuff like hats and souvenirs. There are beautiful views in every direction! Lots to do. A fun little playground, volleyball court & basketball court. We want to come back and bring our side by side because there are some trails you can hit from your campsite! Also, they have cute wagons and teepees you can stay in! How cute! read more

Well howdy from way out here in the middle of no where, in between no where this is the best it gets! Beats the heck out of staying in a truck stop with zombie truckers who never sleep or turn their engines off! I give them an A+ for friendliness! Nice staff. The spots are narrow but adequate. Shade trees are nice. Picnic tables provided. Dusty and all gravel. Would appreciate a cement pad. Internet did not work at our spot as stated by staff. Lots of full timers. But hey saw no zombies yet! read more

Ely KOA - RV Parks Near Me - Ely, Nevada

I'm not sure reviews are for the correct KOA. There are two in Ely. This review is for the KOA Journey off the main road that takes you in Ely from southern Nevada. Ok, with that said, we checked in right away. We got a nice colorful map and pulled into our site #32. All the sites are level from just looking at them! WiFi? no problem. Hookups were perfect and everything is well maintained. There's a nice little fence and a tree in between sites. I'm not sure what people expect. You're camping! It's not going to be perfect. Our night was only $43. Would definitely stay here again. read more

Ely KOA - RV Parks Near Me - Ely, Nevada

Don't stay here unless you have no other choice. Don't stay here if you want WiFi! Don't stay here if you need a washroom or a shower. They are CLOSED for renovation and they still charged us $61 for a back-in without sewer hook-ups! Are you kidding me??? Not friendly or helpful and said they fill up every night. They don't! I will say the scenery is nice but I won't ever be back and I come this way twice a year‼ Buyer beware! read more

My family booked a stay at this camp ground with some friends of ours. We just got a call from them saying the location we reserved was closed for the winter. They offered us another location at the campground for 10 times what we where going to pay for the one we reserved. This management group is shady. Avoid this place!!!! I got an email from the management upset that I had posted reviews with out staying their. They said that they operate on a win win policy. They said the issue we has was not their fault. They blamed the issue on KOA corporate. I had already spoke to KOA Corporate and they said they have no control over this location because it is a franchise. The management also told me that they are a top ten KOA Camp site. I guess they dont ever read the reviews that people post. Hotels in Ely are cheaper than this place. read more

Very easy after hours check-in. Facilities ie, bathrooms and showered were updated and very clean. Park is very well organized with many different stay options all situated amongst many cedar trees. I stayed in a tent and was surprised at all the green grass this being in the high desert of Nevada. I will definitely stay here again. read more

This was a perfect RV Park for an overnight stop while traveling. The entrance was well-marked and easy to pull into with a big rig. The roads within the park were wide and it was easy to maneuver our motor home to the site. Check-in was friendly and they provided useful local information on where to eat. The site was very long so we didn't have to unhook our Jeep, which really makes it convenient. We had no issues at all getting level. There were plenty of places to eat close to the Park and there was also a Love's Travel Center 2 miles down the road. A nice overnight stay! read more

First time staying at a KOA. I was reluctant but needed full hook ups and was pleasantly surprised. Staff is over the top nice and property is immaculate. The bath/shower house is brand new and so clean. Staff is constantly driving by and available for any need. The man working the grounds in the morning is unbelievably, amazing going out of his way to make sure guests are comfortable and happy. He reads the reviews to see if there is any way he can personally do the littlest thing to make guests happier. I can honestly say I have never seen that level of commitment from an employee in my 35 years in customer service. I wasn't expecting much in Ely and I must say, the whole area and especially this camp spot are a hidden little gem in our great country! read more

For $61 there were no washrooms, showers or sewer. Stayed at many KOA's and these people are greedy. We had been on the road all day so checked in. Never again. Last night we had so much more for $31. I kinda feel sorry for these mean people. read more

When I pay almost $70/night, I expect a level site. My auto-leveling system would not work until I put blocks under the front jacks.

What a complete disaster this place is.... We booked reservations in January for April 15-19 and NINE days before our arrival they call to cancel due to their restrooms being under construction. Their excuse? "SuPpLy ChAiN iSsUe." Folks there hasn't been a "SuPpLy ChAiN iSsUe" in over a year. So now NINE days before Easter Weekend we're left scrambling to find a new place to stay. So a huge thank you to the lovely folks who can't properly manage their time and get stuff done in a timely manner. You suck and I hope your business fails. read more

We were heading from Truckee to Great Basin NP, and decided to spend the night in Ely, so we could get up early the next morning and beat everyone to a spot at the campground in the national park first thing in the morning. This seems to be an older KOA, but it is a perfectly fine place to stop over for the night. The restrooms were clean, plenty of hot water. The campground was gravel, with a few grass areas around. Overall, it was quiet, except the darned noisy birds at 4:30am. I must be a light sleeper, but I am pretty sure the local birds were having a party on top of our airstream before the sun came up. Even an owl was hooting at this very early hour. This is not a place I would plan to stay over for long, but it certainly feels clean and safe, which is ideal when you need to hook up and stay overnight. read more

Not like the other KOAs I have stayed at. But needed a place to sleep on ur travels. This was I the perfect place to break up our trip. Put us in the back row by the road, heard traffic all night. Wants to much of an issue. Looks as if most guests are permanent. The location served its purpose on our part. Just for the cost of a KOA in this price factor should be a little upgraded. read more

We loved our stay here. Everything was very clean and well maintained. It wasn't at all buggy like some other sites. The people were nice and it was clear they take pride in this campground. My kids loved petting "Wonky the Donkey" every morning and an employee even gave them food for him, which they loved. We'll be back! read more

The service was excellent the park was clean they answer the phone and the employees were all very helpful and nice thank you very very much ps.ladies deserve a raise five star definitely recommend 5 stars read more

Usually KOAs are outstanding. Wasn't too impressed with the girl at the front office. She was not very helpful. I felt as if I was a bother. Difficult to find satellite and WIFI is bad. Park sites are well designed and roomy. Was able to use laundry even with COVID. read more

We enjoyed our 4 night stay at this park. We walked out back of the park in the morning among the White Pines. It was late April and the weather was quite pleasant. We'll be back next year on our way home from Utah. read more

The nicest KOA in Nevada we have found so far! Green grass in the tent sites. The campground has a common stove with hot and cold running water. It has a very nice playground for the kids. And most importantly it has very clean bathrooms. When we are going through Nevada, we will route our trip to stay here again! Hats off to the staff on a job well done! read more

The staff were helpful and kind. The sites and bathrooms were very clean and it was easy to park our 30 foot travel-trailer in the large pull through site. Not much in the way of privacy between sites but you are far enough from the highway and Ely to have a quiet night's rest. This is definitely the nicest RV park we saw for many miles in any direction. If you're passing through and need a place to stop for the night, this is probably your best option. Plus, Ely is the largest town in the area so you can resupply your groceries and things or find the tools/repair equipment you might need. read more

Ely KOA - RV Parks Near Me - Ely, Nevada

It's a convenient place to stay when going through this area of Nevada. However, I take exception to the front office people and their attitude. We got here around noon and within an hour or so were told they had to shut off the water for our site and a few others. Take an hour they said. Over 2 hours later still no water so I went to the front office to ask. They were rude and just could care less. They offered zero solution or a courtesy small discount. In fact, when we checked in we were told their restrooms are all out of service due to renovations. They could have told us that before we arrived! Of course I'm still paying full price for the site. I'll find another place to stay in the future. read more

The cabin was very clean and you can tell they take care of the property. The only things that weren't great was that the cabins are pretty close together and that the women's bathroom door lock has issues and sometimes doesn't let you in. Overall though I would definitely stay here again. Clean and bug free cabins, heat and ac and free WiFi. read more

Quiet expensive ($46) park with no WiFi. They are and have been fixing it for quite awhile. Why are the parks not discounting their rates if they are unable to offer what's advertised? read more

Loved this campground, it was just what we were looking for. Front desk workers were helpful and patient. Quick and easy check in process and they gave us some local recommendations. Mini market had any items we needed, laundry on site, dog area, and some goats to entertain kids and animal lovers. There's not much to do/see in this town, but if your looking for a spot for a night or two, I'd recommend this campground. read more

This is not a park we will ever stay in again. We requested a satellite friendly site when we reserved for one night ten nights in advance. Our request was not honored. Was told when we arrived that people request those sometimes a year in advance. Really? Who knows a year in advance exactly what day they will be arriving there for one night? ( we watched them arrive and leave) They have no cable to use instead of satellite. The sites are not level. The WiFi is nonexistent. We paid $47 and change for just one night for a park with no satellite reception , no cable, no WiFi, non level gravel sites, no pool. Never again. read more

A nice location among small trees. Friendly staff but a terrible infrastructure. The Wireless internet is basically useless - I tried from 4 in the afternoon to late at night, and again early in the morning. It never improved. They need to put out money for more bandwith. It's a small, out-of-the-way town, but the campground is full of long-term residents, so they can't be losing money... Our campsite cost more than the one we had in Boise. There's no rec room there, though the laundry is good (big machines that aren't very expensive...) They also have tepees one can rent. I'd give it more stars were it not for the hopeless Internet. One could go to the library, but we were there on a weekend and it's closed Sat and Sun. read more

Today we are leaving this amazing campground in this wonderful area! The bathrooms were so clean, even cleaner that my home, that I felt comfortable walking around barefoot! The place is so quiet one would never know there were over 130 campsites. Thanks KOA-Ely for being so conscientious in making your campground so clean and welcoming-oh yes the staff are super friendly, warm, and helpful! 5+stars! read more

This place is way to expensive for Ely. Their rates are the reason I do not stay at KOA's anywhere. I felt the owner/manager was rude when we asked a question. There is another place to stay in Ely and i would stay there next time. Never would go back. read more

This is a very welcoming KOA in the middle of no where. Very clean with brand new bathrooms extremely clean with great shower facilities. Nice store with very friendly Staff too. Quiet and reasonable. Could use a pool there would be nice if possible as a nice addition. Would recommend this KOA when traveling on highway 50/6. read more

Awful place. Last KOA. Staffed w pleasant young people who have poorly trained. Rest room a disaster, no paper, floor flooded. Staff not helpful. Big and crowded. Worst experience of our trip. read more

Great location, very quiet at night. May seem pricey for some but clean and well maintained facility. Residents seemed to be mostly permanent/regulars customers but they still had a space for us but ended up full for the night quickly. Small dog area. read more

Should be 0. Stay away from this place. My original reservation was for June 4 for 3 nights. As is customary, I was charged for the 1st nights stay. I called to see if I could come in on June 2 and that I might stay 3 nights total. I was charged the extra 2 nights. When I arrived, I indicated that I need to move on after staying one night. They will absolutely not refund the 2 nights they should have not charged. I have been a KOA rewards member for years. KOA has always been my "go to place" for reservations. No longer. I am out $80.00 plus. The manager was even called. No refund. I will use up my reward points and I am done with them. read more

The park is a little expensive and I was told on the phone that there was no fire restrictions. We arrived and was told there was a fire restriction so we couldn't use the fire pits. The wind was pretty much a non factor but they sited that the wind was the reason we couldn't use the pits. The tent sites are way too close to each other and there is practically no privacy. The restrooms are nice and they had a playground and basketball court for the kids. Otherwise I am extremely disappointed in my experience. read more

Expensive. Open year round. Nice place, ATV friendly with the usual rules and access to trails. Lousy WiFi. Consider it no wifi it's so bad. Good Verizon signal that sometimes vanishes. Spacious, clean, friendly and helpful staff. Mini-mini mart with the usual campground stuff available. Excellent pull thrus and reasonable tree trimming as of our last visit. read more

Great campground! Super cute. Big, wide driveways. Nice space. Clean bathrooms. Two off leash areas for dogs. Playground for kids. Just outside of town so peaceful and quiet. Great for stargazing. BBQ and fire ring at each site. read more

We stayed here for 3 nights and the grounds and area were nice. They lady running the store was not so friendly. I went in the store once and was ignored while she talked on the phone about background checks on people. My son and daughter went into the store later to buy something and she was rude to them. I was never greeted the whole time I was there by any staff. Park was mostly long term residents and only a few travelers. I have always been greeted at least once by someone. Quiet stay with a little snow before Christmas was nice. read more
