DO NOT STAY HERE! The rooms are nice enough and updated, but the heating system not only failed but the manager refused to let us control the temperature, preferring to program it themselves, since “people change the settings”. Really? Isn’t that what you’re supposed to be able to do? The manager was accusatory, saying we had done something to shut the whole system down, when we had no control over it in the first place. He was rude, disrespectful, and completely unhelpful. Good thing we had a space heater with us.

I recently stayed at the newly renovated motel and wow! They did a phenomenal job making these rooms beautiful, comfortable, and functional. The room had everything you would need and most importantly, it was exceptionally clean and the bed was super comfy. The staff was very friendly and pleasant to chat with. Despite being one of the only places to stay in the area, they have really put in the effort to make your stay wonderful.

We stayed at the RV park and it was great. The spaces are quite roomy and, unlike most desert RV parks, there was shade! Showers were clean and free. Laundry room was spotless and reasonably priced...$2 for the washer, $2 for the dryer with no additional time needed to get the clothes dry. (I had both sweatshirts and jeans that dried completely!) Machines take onlqqy quarters (no cards) and there is no dollar bill changer so make sure you take your own quarters. I am giving this place 5 stars not because it's a plush, over-priced RV park, but because it's not. It provided everything we needed for a very reasonable price, was clean and quiet and we left feeling refreshed and happy. We will definitely stay here next time we're in the area and need to become human again.

We stayed at the RV park while visiting Great Basin National Park. It is very close to both visitor centers. Baker is a VERY small town, and this is the best RV park there. Although it isn’t the fanciest RV park we’ve been to, it was adequate and met our needs. Our site was large and all hook-ups worked well. The dirt roads/sites can be a bit dusty, but not enough to ruin our stay. We arrive earlier than our check-in time and they were very accommodating and friendly. We didn’t have any issues and our stay was good.

We stayed at the RV park for 3 nights in early May. All of the staff were friendly and accommodating. Loved the food truck, Chuck makes a great burger. Loved the atmosphere of the bar and visiting with other guests. Don't let the outside of the motel fool you, the rooms have been renovated and are very nice and when we were there they were working on the landscaping around the motel. The laundry facilities were very clean (had a lot of bad laundry facilities at other campgrounds). Great location for Great Basin NP. Very dog friendly and by the time we left everyone knew Tucker and was saying good bye to him. Would definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

I just finished a transcontinental bikeride (San-Francisco-New York) and looking back the Whispering Elms was one of the best campsites i stayed at. There’s a foodtruck and a bar on site, the owners are very friendly and accommodating, as our the other guests, there’s a great atmosphere and the price was very reasonable.

Very nice RV campgrounds, well maintained and easy level sight access for larger RVs. Has Great Basin National Park right next door. Very well managed, and helpful service. Would strongly recommend and would return.

We stayed at Whispering Elms in March on our way from Tahoe to Bryce Canyon National Park. We arrived late (10.30pm) and the lady was so nice, room was unlocked, heat was on and I can't rave enough about what this service meant especially when traveling with a child on a long road trip. The amenities in the room were great, room is cosy, clean, newly renovated and if you want to hike Great Basin (we didn't on this trip but have before) its the perfect location for this wonderful National Park.

Location is very close to Lehman caves. Downside is that there’s not much to do or see - at least in early March. The road to the Bristlecone forest was closed. Our unit, number six was recently remodeled and has really cute little touches. Downside, however, is that the prices are significantly more expensive than other motels in the area. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable foam mattress, thick towels, and nicely decorated.

It's been a while since I've been about a year, here but, I genuinely think about how much of a dump this place was. Toilets were not cleaned at all, felt like a it hadn't been clean in half a decade. Guy runs a whole monopoly over the town and he shut down a competitor, which by the way had a far better maintained property and actually looked great unlike how it feels to stay in this place in a trailer. It's like living in a run down car dump while the owner are complete tweakers, I hope this place shuts down.

Highly recommend seeking other arrangements if visiting this area. Hotel check in states 2pm. Called when I arrived in town, room wasn’t ready. Showed up at 4:30pm, room was not ready, and was told the room was still undergoing renovations and to come back later. Attempted to explain frustrations of the situation to a staff member who proceeded to talk to me disrespectfully, and told me if I canceled I would be charged a fee. And then he hung up on me, just to call me back to tell me no matter what I was going to be charged a fee. Which is ridiculous because the hotel did not disclose a remodel at the time of booking, nor was the room ready for me by the posted time on my confirmation email. Not sure why a hotel would book someone if the hotel wasn’t ready. Spoke to Priceline, also would discourage anyone from using their services to book any sort of stay due to not standing behind their customers.

Very nice place to stay. Our room was comfortable and clean. Staff was very friendly. Thank you for making our trip to Great Basin more enjoyable.

This was a very good value. Great, quiet oasis in this blustery terrain. It's an older motel (which I prefer) so doesn't have the most current decor, but I really enjoyed my stay here. My room was big, with plenty of room to do yoga, and organize gear. It's well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, coffee pot, extra heater, TV, AC, and great lighting, including overhead lights and multiple task and reading lights. The tap water is DELICIOUS! Please don't waste your $ on bottled water. Just run the tap for a few seconds to clear the air from the line I filled my bottles for the road with the tap water. Unfortunately, the bar was closed during my stay; I had hoped to have a beer and meet some of the people here to learn about the area.

This is a very basic RV park, but it is very conveniently located right outside of Great Basin NP. There is a bar and food truck within walking distance. Sam and Fran were great and treated us like family. We’re very low maintenance people so these types of parks are totally fine for our needs. If you’re looking for something more like a KOA, you’re going to end up 1+ hours away from the park.

Great for short visit. Reasonable rate. Clean bathhouse.
