"which is also covered with small rock is adjacent. Pit toilets were clean. At this time, the area lacks culinary water, hence the one-star deduction. RV dumps located in Ely at gas stations."

"This is a popular stop near the town of Ely (a couple miles north off the highway; the closest town is actually McGill)."
ScoutAlthough it is not immediately evident at the entrance, there are two camping areas here. One circle of 8 or 9(?) sites which surround a little pond nearer to the highway, and then second set of 5 or 6 campsites perhaps a half-mile away past an open gate. I was travelling solo, just had a tent. I approached Great Basin Park too close to sunset to arrange for tent camping, so this area popped up along my route. I am so glad i stopped to check it out. I found a spot before sunset, up in the "equestrian' area. Other spots were occupied by some RV'ers but they were very nice. The vault toilets are maintained. The sites are not large but are well laid out and spaced apart, consisting of a fire ring, a grill, and a crushed-rock level area. After dark I had excellent view of the starry skies. Quiet neighbor campers. Seemed safe.
GuideSince Basin was closed due to COVID, we stayed at the Sac Pass area right outside and it didn't disappoint. When you pull in there are about 6 spots with shade, picnic tables, trash cans, toilets and firepits. If you take an immediate left when you pull in, go up to the equestrian campgrounds. We stayed at the one on the far left and it was secluded with a tent pad and firepit/table. Toilets were clean and well maintained. Hiked the Sac Pass trail and Lucky Boy trail right outside out camping spot. Some cell service in certain spots.
RangerFREE! On the whole, avg., 3 stars. Not many developed BLM sites around.
Great Basin was full, so went west on 6 about 8 miles and pulled into dispersed campground where there were some covered picnic tables at sites around a large central pond, following road up to equestrian corral and were several more sites. Stayed in#7 which was exposed, but the last one available so we took it. Free. Pit toilets are dirty but don't stink and trash has been emptied. Nice views to Wheeler Peak and out across UT

LegendThis is a popular stop near the town of Ely (a couple miles north off the highway; the closest town is actually McGill). Because of its proximity to a major thoroughfare, and I guess what northern Nevada would consider a major town, it seems like it fills up quickly. There isn’t a lot of privacy from neighbors because the foliage is limited and the landscaping is minimal, but it’s clean, relatively quiet, well run, and a good pit stop if you’re making a run across this area of the country.
Recommend that, if you know you’re coming in advance, you go ahead and make reservations at recreation.gov.
There are two pit toilets in a pretty good state of cleanliness. Potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings. Out of the eleven sites total, five are considered group sites and six are considered RV sites (you can car/tent camp here no problem, however).
RangerThere is a lower and upper camp spots. The upper is about 1mi up a dirt road and has some shade trees but no ramadas. Both have vault toilets. Trash at lower. Horse corral at upper. No cell service except one bar at peak of hill anout 3/4 mi up from lower. Great views of wheeler peak, good hiking trails. Bring tp for the toilets, which were clean just no tp. And FREE 14 day limit. Hot but not unbearable in late july.

TravelerNot a bad location, clean bathroom! Definitely a very busy site. All spots were taken on a Wednesday night in May. Super loud ATVs driving pass me at night. Found a 4wd spot tucked away in the back with an unofficial fire pit.
Would’ve been nice without the noise No cell service
TravelerVery nice NPS campground. My 30' TT and 20' truck found ample back-in FF spaces. Mostly flat. Table, grill and prep counter in good shape. Space is composed of small rock. A separate spot for a tent or (?) which is also covered with small rock is adjacent. Pit toilets were clean. At this time, the area lacks culinary water, hence the one-star deduction. RV dumps located in Ely at gas stations. Some sites can be reserved. About an hour's drive to Great Basin N.P..
T-Mobile's signal was good.
