There are one developed campground in Basin and Range National Monument (Mt. Irish Campground). Otherwise, there are no facilities of any kind, but primitive camping is legal everywhere along existing roads and trails, and there are a number of traditional campsites scattered throughout the area. I tend to stop and camp where I am when the sun goes down (including wide spots on dirt roads) but there are a fair number of traditional campsites scattered throughout the National Monument. Presented here is information on the location and condition of several traditional sites. There is also one developed campground at Kirch Wildlife Management Area, which can be used to access northern portions of the National Monument.

Note: Campsites are red. Map based on USGS 7.5-minute topo map, which may have red grid lines and various numbers. North is at the top. Grid is UTM NAD27 CONUS. Roads are black (solid = paved; dashed = unpaved; width implies quality). Wilderness Areas (boundaries solid green, fill light green) based on BLM data. National Monument Areas (boundaries dashed green, fill light green) based on BLM data. National Forest areas (boundaries dashed brown, fill light green) based on USFS data. State Wildlife Management Area (boundaries dashed brown, fill light blue) based on NDOW data. Private land (crosshatch gray) based on NPS data. BLM areas (no overlay) based on BLM data.
