Illipah Reservoir Campground

Longitude -115.39413, Latitude 39.33149

Illipah Reservoir is located 40 miles west of Ely on US 50. Access to the camp is down a good 2 mile gravel road (signed from the highway). The road is 2WD accessible.

Campsites are located in two loops. The North loop is located in a protected gully. The South loop is perched on a bluff overlooking Illipah Reservoir. The South loop campsites have better views but are more exposed. All the sites are in the open with no shade. There is a piñon/juniper forest on the other side of the lake, but none here. Each site is equipped with a wind break, picnic table and a fire pit with a flip over grill.

The lake and mountain views are quite pretty, but I imagine if there was no breeze and in the scorching summer sun it could get quite hot here. Fishing is quite popular. Visited June 2001.
