Hiking, mountain biking and off-road vehicle riding are just some of the popular activities enjoyed by visitors to the area. Elevation is 7,400 feet, located approximately 20 miles from Ely, Nevada. The Ranger Trail can be accessed from this campground. The Ranger Trail is a designated OHV trail that also accommodates hiking and mountain biking use as well. The 30-mile Success Loop Scenic Drive is also in the area, with views of high desert and mountain terrain. This location is unstaffed.

All sites have picnic and serving tables, campfire rings and grills. Water is not provided at this campground. This is a "pack it in, pack it out" facility. East Creek, a perennial stream, runs directly through the picnic area and many birds make it their home during the spring and summer seasons.

Availability at East Creek Campground

CampFinder checks Recreation.gov every 30 minutes, around the clock, and emails you when a booked-up night opens back up. That catches most cancellations, which sit open for hours; at the few campgrounds that refill in seconds it can miss the race. Set up a free availability alert for East Creek Campground.
