Baker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park
Very spacious
Bakers Creek campsite is great. The sights are good sized, and they're spaced pretty well. Definitely won't run into you're neighbors. It's a little bit of a drive to the Lehman caves visitor center, but it's better than some. It's first come first serve, but Bakers Creek doesn't fill up often.

Quiet Camping at Baker Creek
Baker Creek Campground is a first come - first served campground in Great Basin National Park. Campground has 37 sites and sits along Baker Creek. It is a dusty drive to Baker Creek campground along a gravel road, but that dust leads you to a pleasant campground. Stayed in the upper most loop at site 14. RVs and Trailers over 24 feet are not allowed on Upper Loop. Three sites in the campground are ADA sites. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Water is currently not available in the campground, water can be obtained at the visitor center. A fire ban was in place due to dry conditions. No cell service at the campground except for a few spots in the upper loop. If I stood in just the right spot in my camp site I could get service. Campground has vault toilets and dumpsters for your trash. The campground was quiet at night and being next to the creek was an added bonus.
Samantha M.TravelerBaker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park
Amazing campground!
I recently went to Great Basin National Park and stayed at the Baker Creek Campground. The campground was very clean & very well kept up. It had multiple spaces to place tents, a picnic table, a firepit and their was also a bathroom on the campground. The bathroom was extremely clean for being outside and basically being set up like a port-a-potty. It also even had seat covers and toilet paper. The campground also has "quiet hours" at night so it's very peaceful out there. There is also a small river inside of the campground and you can hear the water running from your space. It's amazing! I would recommend this campground to everyone!

Small but nestled in nature
What a find. This is first come first serve. Pit toilets, water and a host. The sites are secluded. The east side of the campground has incredible pull through sites. I took a photo of a couple of the best walk-ins. There is parking down there for the few walk in sites. The sites are a one minute walk, tiny but very pretty. A small tent is all that would fit there.
The roads are all gravel to get here once you leave the main road. It’s 4 miles from the main visitors center in baker.
The visitors center inside the park has a honest to god cafe that is open from 8-5.
There is a dump station right at the visitors center.

FCFS but popular!
We pulled in at about 4:30 pm on a Monday evening after Labor Day. Tried Upper Lehman, it was full. Lower Lehman is closed. So we chanced Baker. Drove into the left loop which has some larger sites, luckily found one of the three left that suited us. Only trouble is that it was super hard to level our 21’ class B. It is quiet and not many people have fires so it is not smokey. We can’t hear the creek from here but have some nice open views. It was very dusty on the road in and in the campground, but a light evening rain probably tamped down the dust. Partner says lit toilets clean. I haven’t used it yet.

Serenity by the stream
This beautiful campground is located at the top of a three-mile corduroy gravel road along the babbling Baker Creek, and many of the sites (including ours - #2) are located within toe-dipping distance of its chilly clear waters. Some sites appear to be much smaller. There are also a couple of pull-through sites for trailers, and a few walk-in sites. You can’t make reservations, but there were several sites available when we arrived at about 3 pm. It did appear to mostly fill up by dinner time. There are drinking water standpipes scattered around, fairly clean vault toilets, and garbage cans that indicate that animal food invasions are rare. Every site has a NPS-issue concrete picnic table and fire ring. Somebody had obviously put time into caring for this sweet campground. Rocks have been placed in decorative rings around trees and bushes. Nice touch. Cost is $15 per night, and half if you have a senior pass. You pay in an envelope by credit card or cash. They don’t accept checks. Don’t miss the beautiful hike at the top of Mt. Wheeler Scenic Drive (see photos).

Quiet, Starry, and Roomy - Highly Recommended for Dry Campers
This first-come-first-serve campground consists of two main loops plus additional areas designated for tent camping only. We arrived late on a Thursday afternoon in late September and got one of (if not the) last available sites. To get to the campground you drive about 2.5 miles down a dirt road which should be just fine no matter what kind of vehicle you drive, but as with any dirt road, you should expect your vehicle to get dusty. The campground is very quiet at night with just the chirping sounds of the crickets and the babbling of nearby Baker Creek. And there are so many stars at night you'd think you were on the red carpet at the Oscars!
We stayed in Site #6, which was not only the perfect size for our 16' Airstream Basecamp and our Jeep Grand Cherokee, but also had a large picnic table, fire pit with grill, and an extra area of smoothed dirt surrounded by a small rock border and tall trees (we called this area our "living room"). Unfortunately, there is a fire ban in effect so we were unable to use our firepit.
We work while on the road and had one bar of T-Mobile service, which improved to almost full bars with our WeBoost. There was no Verizon service on our hotspot, even with the WeBoost. Still, the T-Mobile service with the booster was perfect for working and was fast enough for Zoom and Teams video calls.
The site is mostly level side-to-side, but not at all level front-to-back, which meant that our trailer tongue needed to be mere inches off the ground. Not an issue for our short trailer, but camper emptor! The freshwater spigot was adjacent to our site, which was convenient, and the bathrooms and trash receptacles were just a short 30-second walk away.

Nicest RV Park in Nevada
We have been roaming around Nevada for a week now and this is the nicest campground we have stayed at. New bathrooms, clean, friendly and helpful staff and trees! There are trails right from the grounds for walking, biking, quading.

Timber Creek Campground
Cute and convenient I-80 stop
This is a popular stop near the town of Ely (a couple miles north off the highway; the closest town is actually McGill). Because of its proximity to a major thoroughfare, and I guess what northern Nevada would consider a major town, it seems like it fills up quickly. There isn’t a lot of privacy from neighbors because the foliage is limited and the landscaping is minimal, but it’s clean, relatively quiet, well run, and a good pit stop if you’re making a run across this area of the country.
Recommend that, if you know you’re coming in advance, you go ahead and make reservations at recreation.gov.
There are two pit toilets in a pretty good state of cleanliness. Potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings. Out of the eleven sites total, five are considered group sites and six are considered RV sites (you can car/tent camp here no problem, however).

Hard to get too, but worth it!
This is one of the least visited National Parks in the United States. It is slightly hard to get to. It was actually closer to drive to Cedar Breaks National Monument from southern california and stay there for a night, than go straight to great basin....weird right. Anyway, there is a glacier here and caverns!
Sunshine S.GuideBaker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park
Clean, quiet, and close to the visitor center!
The campground was clean, quiet, and sites were spread out enough to allow for some privacy. We stayed 3 nights and would certainly stay again!

Cozy campground with turkeys
Very nice campground with ample wild life to keep you entertained, turkeys roaming through camp, roosting in trees, and yellow bellied marmots eating the road for it's salt content.
Don't forget to go to Lehman Caves!

Lots of spaces, lots of choices.
You have a lot to pick from, no reservations required. Tent, camper, or walk in, all are welcomed. Water is available during the summer, restrooms are ok, trash can through out. Plenty of privacy in your space, all for 15 per night and no national park entrance.
Plenty of hiking spots and a cave to explore. Cafe and gift shop not far away.
Great national park to visit, not very busy but very beautiful.

Campsite Mansion
We ended up going to this campsite since the wildfire directed us away from strawberry creek and it was incredible. We had a stream running next to us, a picnic table and plenty of room to back a truck in. There were trees to hang hammocks with views through the valley. There are trails running off from the campground so no driving is necessary

Baker creek, June, 2019
We loved this park, Great Basin National Park and all the hikes were amazing. The campground was beautiful but our particular campsite #5 was not the best. The place to set up our tent was very small and sloping down. It was so windy that our tent would have blown away had we not tied it to the tree. No showers, no flush toilets, but clean. Picnic table and fire ring were good.

Great Camping
Really nice campground and site 16 was a great find. Camped right next to the creek behind the main area with picnic table and fire ring.

Feels like a Disney movie
We LOVED this campsite! there’s a stream, tons of little animals to see, and the spots are pretty private. Well maintained bathrooms. Make sure you visit during a new moon to see the stars.
Sotnos B.GuideBaker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park
Quiet, large private sites
Some reservable and some first come first serve campsites. Sites are offset and separated from each other lending a sense of privacy. Sites are large with lots of foliage/trees giving a lot of privacy. Nice flat pads with government issue concrete picnic tables and giant pedestal fire pits. Running creek nouse is lovely to sleep to. Quiet, quiet, quiet! Some sites are tent or RV specific. Air is cool and refreshing from desert valley heat. Lots of trees to hang your hammock from.

Quiet and pleasant
I enjoyed several nights at this beautiful campground located between a creek and the gravel road to a trailhead. Campsites are widely spaced among the pine trees. The bathrooms are clean and there is water throughout. This is the only campground in Great Basin NP that allows drop ins. It's at almost 8,000 ft so nice and cool in the summer.

Hard to get sites in this good campground
It's a washboard dirt road all the way from the Great Basin Visitor Center but sites are good and thoughtfully arranged. Some sites are restricted to tents and small campers.
Starry skies. Don't miss Astronomy programs.
No provisions locally, bring everything you need -- especially a full tank of gas.
No cell service; No internet. 37 sites.

Car camping, No!
After speaking with a ranger at the visitor center, she said that this place was a great campground and you should check it out, so my man and I drove out there…a dirt road and going through there is less than an impress

Scenic
Absolutely one of my favorites. We pretty much had the campground to ourselves. The babbling creek and the color changing of the leaves made this campsite perfect. Pit toilets were not horrible but really could use some hand sanitizer in them at least… Our campsite was by the rushing creek it was lovely to hear. Fire pits and picnic tables were nice too.
Maya G.GuideBaker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park
Great campsite
Can’t have dogs on trails. As a ranger put it, dogs can go anywhere your car can. Campsite was great, pretty good privacy between them with the trees and everything. Bathrooms clean and there were multiple within walking distance of campsite.
