Illipah Reservoir Recreation Campground offers 15 free, first-come, first-served campsites at 6,840 feet elevation, featuring picnic tables, fire pits, shade structures, pit toilets, and an undeveloped boat launch (electric motors only).

Located 37 miles west of Ely on Highway 50, the campground provides no potable water but includes trash facilities and adequate spacing for both tent and RV camping, with a dirt road circling the reservoir for exploration and access to nearby ghost towns.
