Iron Horse RV Resort & Campground is located along I80 in Elko, NV. This not a resort as there is no restaurant nor bistro; and the outdoor spa features a thimble size hot tub and similarly undersized wading pool. The entrance from Idaho Street offers a wide boulevard leading down to the office and main building. The interior streets are wide with no obstructions so navigating our 45’ motorcoach to a pull thru site is easily accomplished without unhooking the tow vehicle. The pull thrus are piggybacked with utilities between each rig; rv’s are positioned in opposite directions. To say that your slides are therefore close to your neighbor’s is an understatement. The entire campground is on flat sloping land and therefore the hard packed site with gravel will require a side-to-side adjustment as well as rear to front to obtain level. The sites offer a cement patio and picnic table separated on your patio side by a wide swath of irrigated green grass. The FHU is standard and water pressure is very good. The 50 amp service supported 50 amps maximum. WiFi had difficulty retrieving email; it did not support streaming music nor movies using our Winegard ConnecT with signal of 70% and -61dBM. The WiFi broadband had problems as at times there was no or slow response so not sure what the issue is; appears to be a latency problem (speed test: 0.10Mbps download, 0.01 Mbps upload, and Latency [loaded] 3.3s). Using our Winegard Rayzor Automatic enabled us to pull in the local tv channels on our OTA. Cell phone service was 4G with three bars. The main building houses the office, a large game room with a ping pong table and a billiards table, and a separate great room for lounging and social gathering. This building also contains the bath/shower rooms and laundry. The bath/shower room is spacious, utilitarian and clean as is the laundry room. Adjacent to the main building is a playground; a dog park is also provided at the far end of the park. The pictures may appear to be washed out; that is due to the dense smoke in the area from the California wildfires, namely the Dixie Fire.
The Takeaway: not a resort as lacking a restaurant or bistro and offering a tiny outdoor spa with a petite hot tub and wading pool. The wide streets make navigating easy with vehicle in tow to the pull thrus. Pull thru graveled sites are piggybacked to your neighbor with utilities in between; a cement patio and picnic table complete the site amenities. WiFi internet is poor allowing only email retrieval, and over-the-air antenna captures a couple of local TV stations.
