East Creek Campground

Nestled high on the slopes of the Schell Creek Range, East Creek Campground offers a serene escape within the Duck Creek Basin. This primitive site is defined by its stunning high-altitude setting, where visitors are immersed in a fragrant forest of alder, pinyon, and juniper trees. At an elevation of 7,329 feet, the campground provides a refreshing getaway for those looking to experience the rugged beauty of the Nevada wilderness.

As a USFS-managed federal campground, East Creek provides a back-to-basics experience. The site is equipped with essential amenities, including vault toilets and fire rings for evening gatherings. While the campground is open year-round, its primitive nature means there are no utility hookups available, making it an ideal destination for self-sufficient campers who enjoy a more authentic outdoor experience.

The area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering direct access to the Ranger Trail and various opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and off-road vehicle riding. This campground is best suited for tent campers and RV travelers who prefer a quiet, rustic environment over developed facilities. Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or a basecamp for mountain adventures, East Creek provides a scenic backdrop for your next Nevada excursion.
