LegendTent only camping in Great Basin NP
While Grey Cliffs campground didn't impress me as much as the other campgrounds as it was more open with far less trees than the others, you won't have the RV crowd here, this is a tent only campground, No RV's or trailers allowed. Campsites can be reserved during the summer season. On my visit only two of the three loops were open in June, the other loop was being used by the Park Service. Sites are nicely spread out which is nice. There are 2 ADA Accessible campsites site C3 and A8 both sites are located next to accessible restrooms. Campground has vault toilets, trash service and recycling. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Fire ban is currently in effect. No water is available at the campground, water can be obtained at the Visitor Center. Campground does have some group camping sites for groups between 9 and 16 people.

Cost: $10 (Half-off with America The Beautiful Pass)

AT&T and T-Mobile: Poor and spotty service
This was a great little campground close to the main attractions of Great Basin National Park. It takes you down a few miles of dirt road before reaching the pay station. There’s not many sites, maybe 10, but we were lucky to snag A6. The neighbors are definitely there, but not TOO close. There are a couple pit toilets, very clean ones at that, available as well.
Sites include picnic tables and fire rings with grill grates. Our site was spacious and had great views of Wheeler Peak!

GuideNice place
Nice place for a short stay. Quiet. It’s a fairly small camping site so it fills up quickly
