Best Campgrounds near Duckwater, NV

I came to see the Charcoal Ovens and was unaware there was a campground here. I drove through it just to see what it was like and decided to stay. I was the only one here! The campground looks pretty new and very well maintained. The vault toilets were clean. Each site has a shaded picnic table. There was water, but they had just turned it on for the year and had not tested it to see if it is drinkable. There's a nice trail from the campground to the ovens. It's at 7000' so it shouldn't get too hot here in the summer.It's a great place to spend a night.

On the reservoir with beautiful mountain views

3 bars AT&T 5G

We often stop here on our way to/from Utah.  Nothing special, just fairly quiet, easy access, a good distance from your neighbors.

We were able to walk our dogs and have a quiet time.

We were here several different times of the year in a RV.

Pretty nice campground with the reservoir, adjacent dirt roads, and closeness(yet not too close to the 50)

Stayed their for a night while going across Nevada. Nice views, pit toilets, tables, some sites have shade structures, metal fire pits, easy dirt road in.

There are cows and in my experience RVs left their generators running quite late were the cons if you consider those as such, but I really thought it was a good site.

Interesting history of the campground. Kilns are well preserved and accessible. The camping is close by. No amenities, water, electricity but fairly clean composting toilets in camp area. A few trails at the kiln site and some hiking at the campground.

Nice spacing with trees between sites. Partial view. Couple of accessible sites. Garbage, picnic tables, fire ring, bbq, metal roof over tables, clean pit toilets male and female. Couple nice trails over by the historic wood burning ovens. Nice stream meadows to experience

Sweeping view. Dispersed site adjacent to road 19631. Gulley behind with a road. No services. Great 5G AT&T. Rough hill up requires 4wd. Consistent shape. Close to junction down to gulley.

Down 7 miles of dirt road, camp ground has several tree and some camp spots have wind/shade shelters and tables.. no other services . lots of goat heads sticker plants on the ground. It was not crowded when we were there would probably go back

Other campers were friendly, it was easy to find a campsite, the bathrooms were accessible and relatively clean. There was quite a bit of trash around the campsites however which was sad.

Full hookups, clean and neat grounds with a beautiful view. SXS trails too

This is my second stay this year. With Las Vegas temps reaching 115, This is a beautiful respite with highs in the mid 80s. Well kept camp sites are also a welcome bonus. Bring your own water. Super clean restrooms too.

I went to the campsite and it looked great for people who don’t mind other campers close by. There was water available for cleaning dishes, etc. and also vault toilets. That being said there is endless amounts of truly dispersed campus spots all around in this wildlife area. I spoke with a local who said that, it’s safe and accepted within the community to camp anywhere. I found a perfect little spot close to the hot creek.

This is an interesting, remote desert campground at 5500 ft. elevation.  There are pit toilets which are maintained, plus there is potable water and, amazingly, a dump station.  If you like to be in the desert surrounded by beautiful mountains, this is your place.  It is rustic, but there are picnic tables and curved shade shelters around.  There are a few scattered trees.  There is room here for 20+ campsites.  I am here June 20, 2024, and the place is only 1/3 full.  Eight day max stay and free.  Very dusty, 7 mile gravel road to get here off highway.  All in all, I have enjoyed the desert environment.  Very quiet.  No reservations.  I rated it a three because it's pretty rustic and remote.  Came from Ely, NV to the north.   Fill up your gas tank in Ely, as there is only one gas station in 77 miles.

Drive a few miles on well maintained gravel road. Campground is basically a dirt lot with restrooms and shade. However the hot creek spring is mile a way and totally worth it. We brought an e-bike so it was quick ride to hot spring and reservoirs. One of the reservoirs has a dock so if you have a boat you can launch it there. Saw plenty of bass just hanging out near the docks. There were lots of bugs so be prepared. Otherwise a fantastic. Saw plenty of wildlife as well. My daughter had a great time. Planning on going back in winter

Windy the first few days, but the views, the birds, and the opportunity for activities all great. Lots of dirt roads for hiking and biking. Hot Creek a mile away if you like hot spring soaking. Campground is large enough that people running generators were not too bothersome. Pit toilets kept well stocked, if not well swept or mopped. Most sites have shade/ wind shelter. Our biggest joy was being serenaded by the birds that frequent the WMA and 3 bars of ATT.

In the Wayne Kirch WMA near Sunnyside, NV. Desert oasis surrounded by mountains. Well stocked pit toilets and many water faucets around the grounds. If you like hot springs, Hot Creek is one mile away and has rustic developed pools. A myriad of dirt/gravel roads for hiking and biking and the 5 reservoirs popular for fishing within a few miles. First few days we were here, had some wind form the north. Most sites have a shelter/shade protection from the south. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful restful time listening to the host of birds attracted to the area.

Nice quiet park just outside Ely. As usual with KOA, it was bit on the pricey side. They could have used some dust control on the gravel roads as well.

Overall, the place was clean and quiet, sites were level, and the front desk lady was so friendly! I only stopped here for one night, but would stop again if I was in the area.

If they get the dust under control, I would have left 5 stars.

Excellent, flat, well-maintained site. Pretty views. No fees. Open year rounds.

Be aware that you need to go about 2.5 miles pat where Google will drop you off.

Great off road free campground

During December thru February you may be the only camper.

Spaces are large with wind break and near by, Restrooms

are reasonable and clean. Hot creek is a few hundred yards away.

We appreciate the clubs keeping the campground picked up. The views are spectacular with out a two story or apartment building in sight. 

Appreciate the solitude, quite and area.

And I almost forgot the campground is free for the cost of a 7 mile drive on a generally smooth road , how can you go wrong?
