5 stars for this campground. Extremely clean pit toilets, well spaced sites with good privacy. Cooler weather as you are at 7,500 feet elevation. Bonus is that they release new sites every day for the next day at 7:00 AM PST so its not impossible to get a spot. This is for site 5.

In a small canyon, with trees and other greenery. The sites are small, but private. Hiking trails nearby and lots of birds. I was here in mid-June when it was 100° down in Baker - but 82° up at this campground.

2025.06.04 evening, i car-camped in this Campground; its location conveniently and close to my planned activities, e.g. 2025.0604 evening hiking the Bristlecone Pine Grove, and Alpine Lakes trail. And 2025.06.04 10:00 Tour of Lehnam Caves, Though ~80% of the Campsites were occupied, the Campground was peace and quiet throughout the night. Also, the Vault toilet was clean and tidy.

Lovely campground in Great Basin. Has pit toilet and trash. No water at the time I visited (late May 2025) but it's available nearby at the visitor's center. It was peaceful and beautiful there. Be aware that it's at around 7500 feet elevation.

This is a stunning campground inside of Great Basin National Park. We had campsite number 33 for a single night. It was a great location with everything we needed. The view of the sky here was excellent if you're into stargazing. Restrooms were clean, and the park rangers were all helpful and friendly. This is a first come, first served campground that does not take reservations.

If you’re first come first served camping enthusiasts like us, you will be thrilled with Baker Creek. 4 miles up a gravel road at 8000 feet in the Great Basin is Little House living in no place you’ve ever heard of. It’s communal isolation with birds and wildflowers, sunsets and Milky Way, rushing water and whispering trees. We came for a night and stayed a week. Hiked every hike, toured every tour, ate our way through town. Bring your water and solar panels to discover small town big nature living at its best. The upper and lower Lehman campgrounds are nice, but if you don’t want to commit to dates Baker is a viable choice. There were people coming and going everyday. Not great for big rigs, but we found the most level and easy to park site for a 30 foot fifth wheel is #37. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite campgrounds at one of my favorite national parks. This campground has a large variety of sites. There are a few really great ones right on a small creek. There are a few others and a wide open area great for stargazing. The sides are pretty spread out so you’re not on top of each other too much. You have to drive down a dirt road for a little bit, which is no problem for any car

Enjoyable campground. The type of camp sites (around 36 of them) vary, some have pull through areas for RVs others have room for tents only. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit though there is a fire ban during the summer months. The ambience for each site varies as well, depending on the site you might have tall tree cover, an open view of the valley, or the sounds of the creek flowing by. We also saw deer and wild turkey roam through the campground. Water and restrooms are fairly close to each campsite and the restrooms are exceptionally well kept, some of the nicest I've seen in a campground. It's a first come, pick your spot reservation system so this does limit the options, however, early in the week there always seemed to be a handful of spots open.

Quiet, surprisingly beautiful area. No hookups, water located around campground, clean vault toilets. Terrific hikes within Great Basin NP

This spot got pretty busy for july 4th weekend. Most sites have access to the creek. But some are better then others. This site is first come first serve so plan ahead.

Probably the most secluded established campground at Great Basin NP. Bathroom and several water spigots; picnic bench at each site. Great view of the desert and Wheeler Peak. The creek is visible and audible from several sites. Many of the campsites are on an incline. It was very crowded in July and I managed to grab the last spot. I believe the campsites are first come first served, no reservations. Only reservations are at Grey Cliffs down the hill.
