Flickr album link: Cleve Creek Campground The Cleve Creek Recreation Area is located a short drive east of Ely, Nevada and it is a nice alternative camping option when touring the neighboring Great Basin National Park. This BLM Recreation Area features a small campground that is situated at the base of the mountains in the lush green Cleve Creek bed, which meanders downhill from towering peaks. The dirt access road is located on State Road 893 next to a gigantic wind farm and it is usually smooth enough for an average passenger car, but a high ground clearance vehicle is recommended. The camping pads are small and there are tight turns, so RV campers and trailer haulers are not recommended. The campground features only basic facilities with no water, so it is best to stock up heavy prior to arrival. The hiking trails head uphill into the national forest high elevations where plenty of desert wildlife and wildflowers can be discovered, which. is the main attraction. The best part is the cottonwoods provide plenty of shade, so this is a great little spot to rest the aching feet after blazing the desert mountain trails!

Destination West YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@DestinationWestOrg *This website will be going through renovations soon. Separate destination articles will be combined after the videos replace the outdated photo gallery system. As many readers know, most of the writing was done on the fly while camping, so many articles read like a rough draft. The articles will be cleaned up and edited. Many of the old photos were straight out of the camera due camping limitations and the quality will be bumped up. Another goal is to make navigating the index pages easier and combining separate articles will help. This website will continue into the future and your patience is greatly appreciated!
