Bathrooms were clean, amenities were nice. My kids loved the swings and the group sites were nice. There was no water and it didn’t state that on the website before we arrived. I think there is normally water though.

Clean modern US Forest Service Campground. Has reservable and non reservable sites. Easy access off US 93 out of Ely. The sites have new picnic tables, charcoal grills, camp stove stands, and fire rings. We'll packed gravel for RV or Tent camping. Some of the cleanest Pit Toilets I've seen.
