Ely KOA

What could possibly be more epic in outdoor terms than centering yourself where the desert meets the mountains? If this sounds appealing, consider booking your next RV camping vacation at Ely KOA in Nevada. This pristine and quiet RV campground has a playground for kids and dog walking areas for your furry friends. The management arranges social activities such as outdoor movies and scavenger hunts at this family-friendly place. Once you're here, you can use the Wi-Fi to catch up with friends and family back home, use the restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities to freshen up, or put the volleyball court or horseshoe pitch to good use.Individual sites are either pull-through or back-in, so you can choose which best suits you, and select between 15, 30 and 50 amp electrical service (most of the sites have full hookups). If you prefer to spend your first evening here relaxing by a campfire, the park has firewood available, and propane is offered for purchase too in case you need to top up.Once you're set up in your spot, it's time to venture beyond Ely KOA and see what's waiting for you. This area of Utah has some unique environments you won't find many other places (if at all) and it's a good chance to experiment with driving an RV rental and see what it's about (you'll understand once you've done it). Start by peeking inside the Lehman Caves, a series of limestone caverns containing stalactites, stalagmites, and other intriguing crystallizations. An on-site visitor center conducts tours of the caves; if you join in, you should dress warmly as the caves can be slightly cold. Ely's history owes a considerable debt to the mines and railways that played an important part, so you might want to check out the Ghost Train of Old Ely, the Nevada Northern Railway Museum, and the Ruth Copper Mine, one of the largest still-operational open mines in the country (you can look down into the mine as you drive past).
