Hello. Our weekend campout celebrated five years of coming together for the weekend at Murray Summit. And everything was just absolute perfection. The group site, surrounding campground and bathrooms were all immaculate. The camp host was extremely friendly and helpful. It rained on Friday as we were packing in - couldn't have asked for better weather or a better setting. Thank you!

I reserved a site at Ward Mountain several months in advance. When I arrived, someone else was in my spot and had their RV and gear all spreadout and hour after I was supposedly able to check in. I saw my name on the site post and the folks there were not scheduled until the next day. I have to go elsewhere. VERY disappointing that the site host didn't check sites after the check out time. I put in for a refund and now, two weeks later, I am finally getting a refund of only less than half what I paid. VERY VERY disappointing.

John was an amazing host! He was so kind and helpful. The entire camp was clean, with newly stained tables and benches. We throughly enjoyed our stay and greatly appreciated having a host that was happy to see us! We will be back to visit soon.

Well maintained. No water, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

Really fantastic, clean and well-maintained, easy to find. I was in a site fairly close to the highway and you do hear some of the big trucks on the hill throughout the night, but it was not bothersome.

Campground was clean and well laid out, and the campsites were spacious and well equipped (fire ring, picnic table, etc). It was nice that my campsite backed directly onto the trails I came the campground to bike, so the access was nice. The stars were very clear above at night. The vault toilets were clean and accessible.

What a fantastic place to have our son's graduation BBQ. The camp host was absolutely delightful and so helpful. The group site is so large and well-maintained. We loved it. Thank you thank you!!

No water available, very quiet, excellent for hiking and mountain biking.
@PeteC9C1AEF304 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #6
Nice campground. Very well maintained with a personable host. Spaces are well separated with many pull thru spots. Lots of clean pit toilets spread throughout the park.Forest service has cut water to the park for extended maintenance. While that is a big inconvenience, the lack of a dump station means that water usage must be conserved anyway since the only dump is down the hill to Ely.

Excellent mountain campground just outside of Ely, NV. Very low usage at the time, nice and quiet. Just a stop on a road trip, but could easily see this a a multi-day camping spot with lots of hiking and mountain bike trails accessed directly from the. Campground

Great campsite! Great price, good phone reception and spacious sites.
@GeorgiaHE3CBD9 · Camped on Sep 23, 2024 at Campsite #24
This campground was great. It was close to Ely but far enough away to see great stars at night. My sight was level and the grounds are really well maintained. I had a clean water spigot across from my spot.
@DwightHC5C2F35 · Camped on Jul 29, 2024 at Campsite #16
Campsites are well spaced with good privacy. Campground and bathrooms were clean, and campground hosts were around and working to keep things nice. Easy to get in and out of there for adventures or the great trails right there. We appreciated that they had water available. Peaceful mountain campground with trees providing good shade in each site. We've already booked a return visit and will definitely stay here every time we pass through the area.
@KitS077B3F4996 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #17
Very clean and well kept. Vault toilets clean and odor free. Lots of space between the sites.
@DebL7066303 · Camped on Jul 22, 2024 at Campsite #24
Midweek, the campground had only a handful of campers. Sites were spaced nicely with some privacy.clean and easily accessible. No highway noise. Great 1 night place... not much to do.

Nice campsite close to Great Basin National park
@THOMASA5851804 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #6
This is the newest and nicest USFS weve ever stayed in! The majority of sites are actually level, several are pull thrus so we didnt have to unhitched our towed Jeep. Outhouses were spotless. And the group sites we unbelielveable - large covered pavilions for dozens of people complete with volleyball court and horse shoes. Water faucets we working during our stay. Way to go to the USFS office in charge of this campground!
@EmilyH5510816 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #30
This is a gem of a campground. Fun trails to hike/walk on and the setting was dreamy! We will definitely return!
@JessicaT451655 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #13
I accidentally booked a site on the RV loop, but thankfully my neighbors stuck to the rules about quiet time/generator usage. All of the sites are great for tent camping with proper pads and good drainage. My site had plenty of shade and I had cell coverage as well. There was a host site, but no one was there. This was a beautiful campground and I plan to come back.
@JimH4011279 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #17
Beautiful mountain setting. Quiet with kept vault toilets. Room for groups.
@KathyB2100069 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #4
Quiet place with clean restrooms.
@JamesL2887084 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #24
Always a great campground, the hosts do a good job there.There's no water, hasn't been for years. Bring a bunch of your own, enough to put out your fire.
@VICTORIAM23153 · Camped on May 29, 2024 at Campsite #4
Campground has nice tent/rv pads, picnic tables, fire pits and BBQ grills. The pit toilet facilities were clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Mountain biking/hiking trails right from camp, OHV riding and x-country skiing/snow shoeing would be possible also. Potable water hydrant is now operationally when I was there in May 2024. Only about 10 miles out of Ely, so easy access to groceries etc as need. Enough trees for intervals of shade.
@AngieS7548176 · Camped on May 25, 2024 at Campsite #13
Nice campground!
@stuartm1555188 · Camped on May 22, 2024 at Campsite #10
The campground was clean and well maintained and the campsites are reasonably spaced. The location is a bit exposed near the top of the mountain so wind can be an issue. The night we stayed an RV near us ran their generator during quiet hours which was annoying.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
