What a truly nice place to camp in a RV. We originally planned on staying here for an overnight but due to mechanical failure of our transmission found ourselves stuck for a month. We could not be happier with the predicament. The staff was understanding and flexible, moving reservations around to allow us to avoid having to move our rig around. We did end up paying a weekly rate for the 4 weeks we were here but with tax and AAA discount it averaged out to just over $30 per night. This park is well laid out, quiet due to its location down below the highway level, has an easy to access back entrance that empties out by the railroad tracks for enjoyable evening strolls, a very nice pool and spa available in the neighboring hotel (you have full access!), a nice hang out area in the office and just an overall perfect location. In addition Elko amazed us. This really is a place you should plan on visiting for a few days. If you are in to off-roading there are hundreds of miles of trails accessible simply by leaving town. We enjoyed great mountain biking on the south-western side of town with a short ride up to an abandoned mine. In addition it is only 30 miles to Lamoille Canyon which easily is more beautiful than Kings Canyon National Park and right up there with Yosemite... if you are driving to Yellowstone, which many of the overnight guests were, YOU NEED TO STAY HERE AN EXTRA DAY AND VISIT LAMOILLE you will not be disappointed. We stayed in one of the mid-level backin sites which had a gravel parking area and concrete patio with picnic table. It worked fine. The deluxe sites have grass yards which are pretty but they do sprinkler them and do mow them regularly. Finally if you do find your diesel has a mechanical issue Elko is home to Neff's Diesel. It is a light truck diesel repair place that is reasonably priced, staffed by knowledgeable techs, and owned by a genuine nice guy in Jeremy Neff. To be stuck due to a serious mechanical we really could not have been in more perfect hands. Elko is now on our radar as one of those special places the majority of travelers race on bye but we now know is a good place to sit and stay a spell. Verizon 4g is solid. HD TV has 25 channels.

What campers say
Iron Horse RV Park is a well-kept, tree-lined park offering shaded, grassy sites and roomy pull-through and back-in spaces with workable hookups. Concrete pads and picnic tables make outdoor meals pleasant, and restrooms are generally clean. Practical tradeoffs: some sites need leveling and a pressure regulator; on-site wifi is often unreliable. The small dog area is grassy and fenced but reports on cleanliness vary. Management and laundry quality received mixed comments. The location is convenient to town and freeway noise is usually minimal. Overall a tidy, comfortable option for short or overnight stays if you're prepared for those minor issues.

Stayed over night and looked lucky to find a spot. This town is packed with workers for all the mining activity ion the area. Park is clean with paved sites and concrete pads. Used the hot tub at the adjacent hotel which was nice albeit a little walk. Prices are high in this area due to demand we paid about $40.
