Fishing enthusiasts can access year-round Cleve Creek directly from this small BLM campground managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The site sits among cottonwoods with twelve individual sites plus one large group area featuring an elaborate grill and fireplace. Access requires navigating rough roads, but the campground provides vault toilets and allows alcohol consumption during the standard 14-day stay limit.
The no-pets policy keeps this spot quieter than many public campgrounds. Campers exploring the broader region can find campsites near Ely about 18 miles west. October visitors report the creek still flowing strong, making this a solid choice for anglers seeking direct water access without developed amenities.
Description

Restrooms available but no potable water. Restrictions: Hunting/shooting is not allowed within developed recreation sites. Motorized travel is not allowed within Wilderness Areas.
