This tiny campground has three primitive campsites. A single picnic table and two fire grills are provided, but there are no restroom facilities.
Goshute Creek Campground is located in northern Steptoe Valley at the base of the Cherry Creek Range. Goshute Creek flows past the campsite originating higher up in the 13 mile long Goshute Canyon Wilderness Study Area (WSA). Anglers may catch small trout in this stream. The campground is located outside the WSA boundary where the lower elevations are thickly forested by piñon pine and juniper. Bristlecone and limber pine blanket the higher elevations. Aspens and cottonwoods in the moist drainages provide for a pleasant, cool retreat for hikers willing to travel a bit further. Motorized vehicles are not permitted past the WSA boundary.
Directions: The campground is located 45 miles north of Ely off of U.S. 93. Seven miles west on Nevada State Route 489 a gravel road heads north. Travel this road 10.7 miles to a signed road, which will take you the last 1/2 mile into Goshute Canyon.
