Continuing our drive west from Utah to California, Egan Crest was a wonderful and convenient place to camp for the night. There are two spots not too far off Highway 50 and more dispersed camping a bit higher up. The dirt road has ruts but is passable. There was no-one else at the campsite the evening of November 8th. It was a cold night with temperatures dipping down to 19 Fahrenheit but we were fine in a travel trailer.

Good location only about 10min from Ely. Wonderful trails nearby for hiking. Very clean, had trash cans and pretty level. We have a 28ft class A and didn’t have much trouble getting in. There’s a dirt road on the way in, about a quarter mile. Just go slow over the bumps and you’ll be just fine. Very quiet, only some slight road noise. ... more
Good location only about 10min from Ely. Wonderful trails nearby for hiking. Very clean, had trash cans and pretty level. We have a 28ft class A and didn’t have much trouble getting in. There’s a dirt road on the way in, about a quarter mile. Just go slow over the bumps and you’ll be just fine. Very quiet, only some slight road noise. We were here on a weekend in October and it was totally empty the two nights we stayed. Good for a few nights, probably not for more than that. There’s no fire pit and not much to do beyond the trails and quick access to Ely.

We stayed one night and this area was easy to find and perfect for our stay. Very little road noise. The camping area is a gravel parking lot so fellow campers are rather close to each other. If you have a vehicle that can climb dirt road there are two campsites further from the parking lot.

I passed through at the end of March. I would've gotten stuck had I proceeded further. Road was slick and snow on ground. Better off pulling off on many of the side areas off of the road if you have a large vehicle.

Very quiet and easy to get to with plenty of space to turn bigger rigs around. The TMobile service was super fast 100mbps/down 40mbps/up. One grill for the two sites, picnic tables and wind screens. Great hiking nearby and so close to Ely if you need so

Easy to find, with a sign on the road. Short, bumpy one lane road to get there, good sized gravel lot with two picnic tables and wind screens. Not far from the road but little traffic at night so very quiet. Beautiful night sky. No one else joined us. The area was wide enough for us to turn around (we went around the picnic tables).

This is a great overnight spot close to Ely. There is a large, gravel area that should be able to fit several RVs. Note, however, that the area is longer than it is wide.

This is a great overnight spot close to Ely. There is a large, gravel area that should be able to fit several RVs. Note, however, that the area is longer than it is wide. We backed our trailer into place so we wouldn't have to
back out if someone else showed up (no one did - we were along on a Saturday night in late October). We also didn't back up all the way to the back where the picnic tables are because we found a perfectly flat spot farther out.
There are two picnic tables with wind breaks and trash cans by each table. There is no water, dump, or toilet.
This is fairly close to Hwy 50 so you'll hear the (sparse) traffic; we didn't find it bothersome in the least.
The signage at the trailhead doesn't say anything about camping; however, the BLM website for Egan Crest Trailhead has a camping symbol under the listed activities.
