Back in campsite was pretty unlevel on passenger side of small trailer. But nice site. Potable water was still on during stay (end of September). Now if the person who ran their generator all night wouldn't have been there it would have been a 5 star rating. 👍

Generally, a good campground, with decent sites and privacy. Relatively new picnic tables and ramadas, not much trash around (except in the fire rings). Some nice hiking trails.
Two stars off because it was virtually impossible to connect with any staff members. No one ever answered the phone, not even voicemail, and you are prohibited from going up to the ranger station/residence. In almost 2 weeks there, I only saw what may have been staff one time, driving through the campground without stopping. This was a problem because there are notices on the campgrounds website about fire restrictions and no portable water, and no one around to confirm these notices.
It was even more of a problem because the most obnoxiously rude campers I've ever encountered were there, and no one in authority was available to do anything about them. They were loud from sunup past sundown, with annoying, bass and drum heavy club music playing outside from the time they got up until the time they went to bed. when I asked politely, they refused to turn it down. They broke many campground rules, were vaguely threatening, and generally complete jerks. And there was no one from the state of Nevada to do anything about them.

Typical pit toilet though we didn’t use it with our trailer. Eight dirt road miles from RT93 if you take the shorter road farther south from ELY, or, about 11-12 miles via the dirt road starting farther north.
Quiet hours 10pm-7am. Nice view from site 5.
Drive back about 3/4 way to RT93 for LTE Verizon signal.

Clean, quiet, practically deserted campground near the charcoal ovens. Only 3 of the 16 campsites were occupied on a Friday night. There are several water faucets throughout the campground. There are pit toilets. No dump station. The sites aren’t very level.

Clean campground with picnic tables and shade structures. We stayed in mid April during a trip. We had the campground and ovens to ourselves. No electricity, tank dumping or other services.
