Border Inn & RV Park
Overview
Border Inn & RV Park serves as a welcoming oasis for travelers navigating the legendary Highway 50. This unique destination sits directly on the Nevada and Utah border, offering a blend of traditional hospitality and essential services. It is a multifaceted property that combines a motel and RV park experience with a social hub atmosphere. The park features an onsite restaurant and casino, providing a convenient spot to refuel and relax after a long day of driving through the High Desert.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated in the vast expanse of the Great Basin, surrounded by rugged mountain ranges and wide-open plains. Staying here offers a true sense of isolation and peace, which is characteristic of the Loneliest Road in America. Its position right on the state line provides a unique geographical experience. The sweeping desert vistas change colors dramatically as the sun sets, and the high altitude ensures the air remains crisp and clear throughout the year.
Amenities & Park Features
Designed with practicality in mind, the park offers spacious pull-through RV sites equipped with full hookups including 30 and 50 amp service. Travelers appreciate the 24-hour convenience store and fuel station, which are critical resources in this remote stretch of Nevada. The facility also provides clean showers, laundry rooms, and Wi-Fi access. Having access to a full-service bar and restaurant just steps from your rig makes this a highly functional stopover for weary drivers.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw for guests is the proximity to Great Basin National Park, located just a short drive from the park entrance. Visitors can explore the intricate formations of Lehman Caves or hike to see the ancient Bristlecone pine trees on Wheeler Peak. Because of the minimal light pollution, the area is designated as an International Dark Sky Park, offering some of the best stargazing opportunities in the continental United States for astronomy enthusiasts.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location is an excellent choice for national park enthusiasts and road-trippers seeking a reliable basecamp in a remote setting. It is ideal for those who prefer the convenience and accessibility of having dining and fuel onsite rather than a secluded dry-camping experience. If you enjoy rustic desert charm and easy access to world-class outdoor recreation, this park provides the necessary comforts to support your Great Basin adventure.

I stay in a motel almost every night and this was not worth it! I understand its one of the only things available that far out but had I known, Baker has a handful of Airbnb that are probably better option for the price, I would have went there but cant cancel if you book through the website. The price is way high considering a Motel 6 offers tv's, a room you dont have to heat with a plug in space heater and most of the time a small breakfast. Everything about this place is just old and someone could really make it a destination if they cared to do so. And online it says theres a tv and if you ask about it, all they say is no tv. Not any reason for there being no tv, just no tv. Dont expect a free cup of coffee in the morning either, even if you spend $500 in fuel. Its the little things when you stay in motel as much as I dont and the little things would change it to great stay! But the bed was really comfortable in room 9, the views are amazing, staff is friendly.

We stayed at the RV park. The gentleman who checked us in was very nice and helpful - he told us which sites were available and said to go pick one. He gave us a heads up that one of the sites had to share the water faucet (they had a splitter on it) because the one for the site was broken. Sites were pull-thru, utilities worked. Close to Great Basin National Park.

This is the only lodging option near Great Basin NP. Clean and spacious room. I love the retro-style microwave and was intrigued by the hand soap stored in a take out bowl. Check-in is done in the restaurant/casino. Food was a better than expected. Don’t forget to stamp your US50 passport as a part of unique Nevada experience!

We stayed here to be close to Great Basin N. P. The motel rooms are dated, as others have noted. However, they were VERY clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff were super friendly and very accommodating with all requests. There aren't many restaurant choices near Baker, but that was OK because the restaurant here is good. We ate here 4 nights in a row and were very happy with everything we ordered. They make alot of things from scratch and even grind their own hamburger meat. There is also a small convenience store. This place is a solid choice for visiting Great Basin.

Border Inn Casino RV Park: Site #3 has a broken water faucet. Horrible check-in. Assigned an occupied site & not given any directions, nor a map, nor a receipt. I went back. We discussed two other sites. She said either site would be fine. We picked a site & I came back soon to let her know which site. We hook up water last & found out the water faucet was broken. My husband went with me to notify her. She said "yeah, we know". She had multiple opportunities to tell us, but chose not to. Thanks to our kind next "door" neighbor, we were able to connect to his water faucet. His neighbor was also stating he had some similar issues at check-in. Her unprofessional, "I don't care" attitude was very off-putting. So, we didn't use any other services (store, casino, restaurant or gas). We don't recommend. You'd be better off checking out the RV Parks in Baker, or the gorgeous campgrounds in Great Basin National Park (no hookups). We won't be back to the Border Inn Casino.
