Great Basin/Upper Lehman Creek Campground
User Reviews
Doug Rockey
It is a national park campground in Great Basin National Park on the Nevada Utah border. It is at 8500 feet altitude, steep, rocky and forested with a diverse sub-alpine forest. There is a very fast moving, loud stream on South edge. Our camp was 50 ft from it, absolutely beautiful as it was wildflower season. There are nice, clean vault toilets, picnic tables, and water faucets coming next year, they are being installed this summer. BRING YOUR WATER! You can get some at Lehman Cave visitor center and at the RV waste dump if you have containers. This visitor center also has a good cafe and souvenir shop. There is no food in the gateway town of Baker available except for some prepackaged camping food at the stargazer in.

RV & tent camping within Great Basin National Park. No full RV hookups, no sewer. There’s a dump station near the entrance of the park. Vault toilets, picnic tables & fire pits are available. No potable water,bring your own. No electricity either.

Keep in mind this is a remote campground with no electric, water, nor sewer. For 24' rigs or less. We asked the ranger about our 27' Airstream and he sent us here, saying take a look and see if we can find a level enough site. It's tight, but there are a few sites that work well. The location is great, all paved, and close to the 10,000 foot Wheeler Peak scenic road summit. Nice little Lehman Creek running beside our site!

Upper Lehman Creek Campground was quiet, clean and a wonderful place to camp. Their vault campground toilets were some of the cleanest I’ve ever used while camping! That’s a plus!! It is close to fishing, hiking, the visitor center and Lehman Caves tour. The campsites all seemed spacious from my walks throughout the campground. I will definitely come back!

Loved the campsites here they were clean and we'll kept. We stayed here for 2 days and visited Lehman caves and Wheeler Peak. Both were amazing and I can't wait to go back next year. Make sure to get reservations for the caves several weeks to a few months ahead of time otherwise you'll miss out. I made reservations almost 2 months out and the only day there were spots available was Sunday morning. We tried to get to Wheeler Peak summit but the winds were just to strong that morning. Maybe 40-60mph and a cloud was forming around the summit. Make sure to be cautious as you go up as it's 13,063ft so take your time. The trails up the the base of the summit are still amazing and well worth the trip to the top. You can do about a 4 mile loop just on them and visit Stella lake and have a nice day hike.

We stayed here in 2019 on our visit from England and what a great place , nicely laid out , great camping pitch and decent toilets . Beautiful sunset and great view down to the prairie a couple of thousand feet lower down and a stunning drive further up to over 10 000 ft . Well worth spending time here

If you're trying to get away from the heat, the dry desert, and the crowds, this place is perfect. At over 7,000 feet it's alpine with flowing streams, greenery, and lots of wildlife. Lots.of hiking trails, but bring layers because it can get cool. Be advised, though, that if you want to tour the nearby Lehman Caves schedule it well in advance, and be prepared for dry camping, because there are no hook-ups.

The campground is very well kept and spacious. I love that once in your camp, almost all other camp sites just disappear. While there were a few exceptions and some of the sites I saw were not quite as secluded, they were the minority. There are at least 4 sets of pit toilets throughout the camp that are all clean. The stream runs down both sides of camp and most sites have easy access to the stream. There are a few small trout that the kids had fun trying to catch.

We absolutely LOVED this campground. We stayed the first night on the top campground Wheeler's Peak but it's 10,000 feet up and I was having issues catching my breath so we went to the upper Lehman campgrounds and found a perfect spot right next to the Creek. We could hear the Creek all night. Clean bathrooms, water, picnic table, fire pit, grill and the hosts were so nice. We saw deer and wild turkeys just walking through our site. I can't wait to go back. We could not get into the caves because they were sold out. Next time we will book in advance. Great Basin National Park was so beautiful.
