Tent Reviews

We use KOA Ely at least once a year. Great staff, especially Cynthia. They are always very courteous and friendly. The facilities and grounds are always clean and very well kept. There is great fishing in the area and the KOA has a nice play areas for the kids. If I were to make any recommendations it would be to maybe add a swimming pool.

Super friendly staff. Accommodating too. I requested to switch tent spaces and it was not an issue. Nice bathrooms. Convenient location just south of Ely.

Lovely KOA with the cleanest bathrooms I've seen at a KOA. The tent site (non-electric) is grassy and lovely with trees and shade. The Kamp Kitchen had an electric range and sink and was very convenient. Loved everything about this stay and would definitely visit again!

The camp hosts and managers were extremely kind and accomodating. The property is well-maintained and full of wonderful amenities for kids and pets. There is plenty to do, and all of the staff are quick with great recommendations for places to check out.

We enjoyed our stay in a grassy tent spot. Lots of walking trails. Close to restrooms/showers.

Nice site

Staff was very nice and accommodating, 5 stars there. The tent sites along the entrance road shouldn't exist or a fence should go up between the road and the lawn. Literally impossible to sleep with the non stop traffic on the gravel road. The staff was nice enough to let me move to the tent sites in the back corner for the remainder of my stay which was 1000% better and cheaper.

It was very nice to have a large grassy area for tent campers. The bathrooms were very clean with plenty of hot water for showers.

I had reservations for May. Plans changed and and just showed up at March 31. The host was extremely helpful in changing my reservations. The campground is very clean and was extremely quiet. I tent camp and the bathrooms are clean and fully functional. The store is very well equipped. I go to Ely once a year and stay at the KOA. Can’t wait till next year. Thank You.

Ver nice stay! Peaceful and the staff was very helpful. All the amenities anyone could ask for. I would most certainly make more trips to this and other KOA around the country

Staff was amazing and kind. Everywhere was trash free and clean. Only thing I could nitpick would be hair balls on women’s bathroom /shower floor daily- but that’s poor guests, not lack of cleaning. Bathrooms are clean and smelled good every time went in. Check in and out was smooth. Great options and necessities shopping. Will definitely be back

Still the best KOA for tent camping that I have stayed at, though Montpelier KOA is very close. Price has gone up a bit over the years, but what hasn't. The folks running it are very pleasant to work with.

Well manicured, clean and peaceful

Absolutely LOVED our stay here. Best KOA we’ve been to and will be the standard by which we compare all other stays. We stayed Friday and extended to Saturday night as well. Our primitive tent site was $33 and the grass was gorgeous and spots were well spaced and views were lovely. Bathrooms were CLEAN and staff delightful. Hope to come again some day.

Campground hosts couldn't be nicer. Campground itself was clean and well kept. Bathrooms were clean. Couldn't be happier with my stay. Ely is a neat little town; well worth a stop.

The property has a great view of the valley and is close enough to town to be convenient for shopping and far enough away to feel a bit remote. The office staff were very friendly and helpful. The bathroom facilities were very clean. The location of the tent sites being next to the gravel driveway wasn't great. Lots of vehicle noise all night long and dust from drivers going over the 5mph limit.

We love the Ely KOA. this is our 4th stay there. It is always so clean and the staff is very friendly. We have stayed at several other KOA's around the country but this is by far the best one.

The campgrounds were a perfect oasis in our road trip.

It was a wonderful stay with fabulous amenities and fantastic weather. Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing location. My family and I camped in a tent location with water and electricity hookups near by. We were the first campsite when you drive into the KOA and we felt very safe and comfortable. I love this KOA. The only thing I would change is that the children's playground have some lighting.

Campground and restrooms are clean. Employees are always nice.

Tent camped twice. Once on the way east and again on the way home. The facility was clean and quiet. Showers were nice. Staff friendly.

Close to shopping and to the lake for fishing. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were nice and warm. Staff was very friendly. Looking forward to camping again next year.

The staff was very friendly and helpful the campground was well kept and clean the facilities were very well kept and clean my biggest complaint was nothing to do with the KOA itself but the RV campers bringing their dogs into the tent area allowing it to do its business on the grass and not cleaning up after it. My opinion is if I brought my dog into the RVers camp spot they would be pissed.

This was my first camp at a KOA location and I really loved it! I have never seen such clean bathrooms and showers at a camp before. The tent area that my family was at had lots of grass and the space was really big. Everyone that worked at the Ely was friendly!

This was our first time staying at a KOA and it far exceeded our expectations. The grounds were very nice, the staff was friendly and professional, and everything was so clean. The amenities like the shop, laundry and showers were such a nice plus. It was a fantastic experience and certainly won’t be our last! Thank you Ely KOA team!

If happen to be passing through Ely NV on your camping trip, you should park at the Ely KOA Journey. It is a very nice, pretty park with shade trees and super clean restrooms and showers. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful too. The store is well stocked and has morning coffee for just $2 as well. We will definitely stop here again on our return trip.

We are tent campers. Great stop for us after 6 nights at Great Basin Nat'l Park. We loved the communal cooking and washing station. Clean bathrooms, hot showers.
