Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights29 sites open for every nightA forested campground near hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Perched at about 8,200 feet on the Schell Creek Range within the Duck Creek Basin, Bird Creek Campground sits where a small stream Bird Creek runs year-round through a stand of juniper, pinyon pine and alder. The setting is a high-elevation mountain basin roughly 25 miles from Ely, with limited canopy shade but clear access to alpine scenery and wide views of high desert and mountain terrain along nearby roads.










Length limits vary by campsite.

“Great campground, it’s especially nice that you can’t see or hear your neighbors. ”
“Overall our site was very good. There was running water near some of the sites which is nice. The only negative was that there were a lot of tumbleweeds growing in the spots. We cut a bunch of them down with a shovel but the spots needed a little weed maintenance. ”
“If you want a private experience, off the grid, where you can't see or hear your neighbors, this is the place! We can not WAIT to return.”
