Ward Mtn. Campground (Murray Summit)

Camp hosts were great folks! Super helpful and nice. We had a big group, the restrooms were very clean,as was the campsite and campground. We had a wonderful trip, thank you!

Everything was absolutely wonderful. We had a great weekend. Everything was super clean when we arrived arrived though with the exception of staples punctured into all of the tables and some strange graffiti on one. Oddly enough the table graffiti talked about leaving the earth better than you found it. We had the site for three days and it was wonderful.

Many trails of different lengths and difficulty start right from the campground, most with gorgeous views. Nice private sites surrounded by trees, clean facilities.

Very clean and beautiful spaces. The group camp looks amazing if you are planning an event. We will make this a regular stop on the way south!

Very well cared for sites and restrooms. Beautiful area. Will be back!

Water at camp site wouldn’t pump… I was glad I packed enough that it didn’t become an issue. Bathrooms clean and stocked. Lots of small trees for shade, but it does get hot. Lots of bike/hike trails to explore. Only 7 min from town!!! Beautiful!!!

Great host, clean restroom, quiet at night.

Very clean and quiet campground. It was not too busy on Thursday evening. Camping spots are roomy and enough trees around every spot for privacy. We will stay there again in the future.

Great access to mountain bike trails. Close to town. Decent cell service with Verizon.

Beautiful campground. My reserved site (#29) was off-level, so I moved to #30, which was perfectly level and a much better site. I was there the first week in June, and the campground was less than 25% full - even the camp host wasn't on-site yet. If you are coming in the slower times, I recommend waiting until you get there to check out the sites. Even those sites that are reserved for the weekend are first come for that night if not reserved online. The sites are spacious, with a fire pit and really nice picnic tables. Pinion Pines and Junipers give many of the sites some shade. There are water spigots throughout (with threads), and the dumpsters are located at the entry to the campground.

Good space, clean sites, nice neighbors and a great view. Love this place.

Beautiful, clean sites, great hiking!

Amazing sites. Will be back!

Nice and Quiet and not crowdwd. Awesome

Though it was an overnight stop, the camp was a welcome respite. The sites were neat, and the area is definitely on my list of places to stop and spend more time exploring. I hope to come back again.

We stay multiple times a year and always enjoy it. However, getting tired of excuses as to why the water isn’t turned on.

Very nice clean campground. Lots were spacious and good hiking and biking. We got a notice that the water would be off which isn't a problem for us, but we noticed the campground was pretty empty and that was probably why. We enjoyed it and plan to go back.

Very clean, beautiful setting, convenient location for access to Comins Lake.

Gorgeous location; camps are spaced nicely from each other with trees in between for a feeling of privacy. It's the perfect place to spend the night after a day at Great Basin. I will definitely camp here again, even though someone stole the spot I reserved ( still found a free spot).

Great site, clean bathrooms, super trails.

Close to the town of Ely (5 miles), you still feel distant after driving through the beautiful canyon to get to the camping area. We were greeted for 2 mornings out of 5, by the park officer. He informed us that the water is off due to the possible freezes, which there were. Although there were concrete pads where dumpsters would sit, there were none. At least while we were there, there were no dumpsters. The campsites are well equipped with very well made bbq pits and fire pits. Many of them had 2 picnic tables, but no covers at any. There are pit toilets which seem to be reasonably maintained. We were waiting for an overnight package through USPS which never arrived. It’s the only reason we stayed 5 days. It’s a wooded campsite which works negatively to block the view of the snow capped mountains. During our stay, perhaps only 2 other campsites were occupied. The sites are pretty close together, but the mountain desert shrubs help separate you. I can tell they’ve invested a lot of money on thi camping area. They have a huge group camping area with a covered pavilion, horseshoe area, and a volleyball area. All in all, with my senior discount, nobody can complain about $7 a night. It seems most that come here, at least during our stay, are stopovers looking for a one night rest.

We always enjoy our stays at Ward Mountain Campground. Usually we stay twice a year while traveling to visit family and it is easy to make reservations, the campsites are nicely organized, the facility is clean and usually quiet!

I stay here multiple times per year. Mostly quiet, and recently the water has been turned back on after being off for several years. Vault toilets have always been spotless.

very nice place to stay . quiet. close to town. but no water

Spent two nights at Ward Mountain, (Murry Summit), and wished it had been more. Site was clean and level, there was a place to park our travel trailer and a second seperate pad for a tent. Bathroom facilities were clean and well maintained despite being pit toilets. I could have easily spent a week just wandering and biking around the immediate area. Hands down, one of the nicest National Forest campgrounds we have ever stayed at.

This is a very clean and well-designed campground. It has nice camp spot amenities and the restrooms are very clean. It is an easy drive from Ely, and only an hour from GB Natl Park.

Nice clean campsite, clean restrooms, great trails. Thanks!

We held a wedding reception at this location. Beautiful location and plenty of room. Great space for any event.

Beautifully refurbished campground. Like the privacy of the sites.

Clean and easily accessible campground in the high desert. Camped here because Great Basin was chock-full. Was nice to be close to Ely to grab coffee in the morning on the way to the park. Ranger was cordial.

Camp sites were very clean, restrooms clean

We stayed for just one night but enjoyed our stay. A positive for this campground is that there are plenty of group sites along with buddy sites which we enjoy as we travel often with other campers. There were plenty of trees and the sites were far enough apart to enjoy some solitude.

Nice campground in the middle of nowhere. The biggest piece of info to know is, ALL of the water spigots are locked closed. There is no water available even though the host has water, electric, and sewer dump, but nothing but a parking spot for the public customer. I thought campgrounds were made to provide a service to the public?... Well, a parking spot is what you get. Go Figure.

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.

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

The camp host was the best in years. Very friendly and helpful. Keep him

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very clean and well kept. Vault toilets clean and odor free. Lots of space between the sites.

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.
