My wife and i booked a campsite at Silver Rapids Lodge against my better judgement, but we spoke with several employees about reserving a campsite and were told that although most of their sites were lakeshore on gravel, they had "one private,beautiful campsite on a wooded GRASSY hillside that would fit our needs," When we arrived there for our "grassy...

Buddy and I changed our plans on Sunday morning on Labor Day weekend on where we where fishing. Decided to head to Ely to fish for crappies. We didn't have anywhere to stay and called there. They had some open spots. We drove two hours to get there. The staff got us a spot in the motel. They gave us... More

We traveled to Ely for one day and one night at the end of a week long North Shore vacation with another family. We stayed in the Junior Suite in the motel, the other family stayed in the Deluxe Suite in the motel. Our room was very scary. It was in the basement of the motel and the odor was... More

We arrived and went to our campsite along the Lake Shore, the site was very small. We have a pop-up camper and the bed was right up to the rocks where it drops down to the lake and the other was within feet of the road. When we were going to have a camp-fire we had to be careful to... More

Just got back from this place. Went with plans to camp 3 nights. After two nights - we left. The pictures on the website are misleading to say the very least. The campsites are packed in side by side like sardines in a can. The large street light across from our tent stayed on ALL NIGHT, and ruins at least... More

We go there and our spot was a tiny rock & dirt patch, no fire pit, bad view and the power went out twice. We left a day early. Got half-off and an apology. Wished I went elsewhere! More

We have to report a similar experience to the review written on July 17th. Do NOT ever stay in this campground if you have an RV!! We too have an RV over 30 ft. and had to jockey the motorhome around several times to be able to get into the site - there is barely enough room to maneuver into... More

Stay anywhere else. We checked into their "nicest" cabin & walked thru a spiderweb in the doorway to see bugs in the shower. The place was nestled between a parking lot & a cliff with a view of the freeway. Not safe for kids or dogs. We politely explained our dilemma & asked for a refund, which the girl at... More
