Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights29 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Ward Mountain Campground (Murray Summit) sits at about 7,400 feet on the lower slopes of Ward Mountain, roughly 10 miles southwest of Ely off Highway 6 and a couple of hundred miles north of Las Vegas by way of Highways 93 and 318. The site is set among pinyon pine and juniper that break up the open high-desert views and give many sites a measure of privacy and shade.












Length limits vary by campsite.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,884 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
