We landed this afternoon at Ely KOA Journey, pretty much right in the middle of Nevada, elevation, 6500 ft. This is just a stop-over for a night, but it really is a nice campground. We plan to drive around this after and check out the town.
From here we're heading north to Idaho. Our first stop is a place called Anderson Camp. We plan to spend a couple of days there so we can check out Shoshone Falls and what's left of Twin Falls

We don't usually stop at KOA campgrounds, but this was the only campground in West Virginia along our route that worked without going too far out of our way. The campground has long pull-through sites but they were very close together.
If everyone would have parked their cars or trucks in line with their RV then it would have worked. For some reason, they didn't. After speaking with the camp host the prior night about two trucks that would need to be moved for me to pull forward to get out, both were still parked the next morning so we had to figure something else out. I still had the dinghy attached and didn't want to disconnect to back out. The large 5th-wheel a site over from me was also blocked by the same two trucks and frankly, our front in. If I backed up some, then he could fit. (I was still on my jacks) The folks on the other side of him parked their truck behind him half in his spot so he couldn't back out. So I quickly got things stowed away, he backed up as far as he could so that I could pull forward in front of him and head out the wrong way up the street. That worked, I hope that he got out as well.
Other than the tight sites, the campground was quite nice. It had a sandy beach on one of the three ponds with large floating toys for kids to play on. It had a few nice rental cabins along one of the ponds. The tent sites were set up really nice and you could even rent sites that featured patios complete with furniture and a nice fire pit. Overall the campground was pretty decent, better than other KOA's that we have visited. It's a great one or two-night stop-over right off the freeway. We would return if our travels bring us that way again.
Check-in time is after 2 pm and check-out time is 11 am. Our cabin registration times vary slightly to check-in after 3 pm and check out time of 11 am.
We always encourage a campfire while staying at our park, it's just part of camping. We are restricted by the Department of Environmental Protection and the Forestry Department from the transportation of firewood across state lines, so we do ask that you not bring your own firewood from other states. Firewood is for sale at the camp store for $5 per bundle. There are a couple of retailers in town that sell firewood, but you have to go get it.
Visitors of our camping guests are always welcome, however, there is a $7.50 charge for all visitors who utilize the campground facilities. Visitors must check into the campground office and obtain a parking pass and determine where the appropriate parking is located.
Enjoyment of camping for all guests is required, please respect your neighbors by keeping any noise and volume to a minimum. Official Quiet hours are enforced between 10 pm and 8 am. Bicycle riding is prohibited after dark for everyone's safety! Likewise, children must be on their respective campsite during quiet hours.
We are proud to offer a very clean and refreshing swim lake with sandy beach. While the beach and swim lake is a natural body of water, the fun comes with rules. ALL swimmers, regardless of age or ability, must sign a waiver of liability. Children must be signed in by a parent or guardian. Once the waiver of liability is signed an armband is issued to each swimmer. Life jackets are provided in all sizes for any swimmer that goes past the shallow markers. The large inflatable "toys" are located in the deep end of the lake and require life jackets to enjoy. This year we will have the water trampoline again, the jungle-gym and the rocket for guest enjoyment.

TLC Wolf River is a nice campground a couple of miles from the Gulf of Mexico. We arrived and the camp host loaded us into his golf cart and drove us around to find a site. The sites were labeled A & B, (A sites faced the alley and B sites face the Bayou) we found a 50 amp 'B' site. (an extra $5 a night for 50 amps) The campground had a small pool (not heated) a mini-golf course, some horseshoe pits, and a clubhouse, most of which showed neglect and wasn't very inviting. Our site had a nice view and was shaded so we did enjoy the park. After meeting and becoming friends with the couple next door, the campground was more enjoyable. I'd say we'll visit again in the future.
While we were there we took two drives. The first one, we drove to the Gulf and then headed East twenty-five miles to Biloxi. The beach along that stretch of the Gulf was a beautiful white sandy beach for miles. On the other side of the road facing the water were beautiful homes and six Waffle Houses. While in Biloxi we checked out one of the many casinos. (we came out ahead) On our second drive, we went west. This time we found more beautiful beaches and ended at another casino, the Silver Slipper. By joining their member club we got a couple of free nights at their campground (good for 30 days). Actually, the campground wasn't pretty nice with many sites viewing out over the Gulf. Just to say we did it, we had lunch at a Waffle House. It wasn't bad, but not really what we expected.
