What campers say

Ward Mountain Campground, just outside Ely at about 7,400–7,500 ft, offers clean, well‑maintained sites with level gravel pads, picnic tables, grills and sturdy fire rings. Sites are well spaced for privacy and many can accommodate larger RVs, with tent pads at most sites. The campground is quiet and serves as a trailhead for extensive hiking/biking/horse routes. Bathrooms and vault toilets are frequently praised. Practical tradeoffs: water has often been turned off, nights are cool at elevation, and you may hear distant highway noise in still conditions. Hosts are reported as helpful.
