  Baker 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.

  Baker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park

  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.

  Great spot with very clean bathrooms

  Booked through Airbnb. Great place to stay with a variety of camping, tent, or tiny house options. We stayed in the camping area which offered a great sized gravel pad to setup our own tent, There is a bathroom/shower trailer that was very clean and being able to take a hot shower was nice. The host Brian was very nice.

  Clean and Gorgeous Trees Everywhere, Super Friendly Staff

  Nice quiet park just outside Ely. As usual with KOA, it was bit on the pricey side. They could have used some dust control on the gravel roads as well.

  Overall, the place was clean and quiet, sites were level, and the front desk lady was so friendly! I only stopped here for one night, but would stop again if I was in the area.

  If they get the dust under control, I would have left 5 stars.

  Baker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park

  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.

  Nice location and great staff

  Located outside of Ely, but close enough if you need to run into town.

  Staff was great, informed us about facilities and also map listed restaurants that deliver.

  Hometown Pizza delivers to your site, good pizza.

  They do inform you that by state law they have to have water pressure regulators on the water hookups so no need to add yours. (in Las Vegas at the KOA they had no idea what I was talking about but since we were within the city limits may not be needed).

  Great view of the night sky after dark, dog parks are decent size, but by the time we got their our dog had found a spot on the roads.

  Site pretty level, site and roads are gravel. Appears to be quite a few long term campers.

  We were only there one night, but with everything if offers appears to be a place to stay for a week if so inclined.
  Gets chilly at night, high altitude (close to 7,000 ft in elevation).

  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).

  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

  Baker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park

  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.

  Bird Creek Campground

  5 day stay

  We loved this campground! Site 9 has a bridge across the creek to the site (most sites did not have the bridge, maybe 3 or 4 in all) making it feel like a little private island. The ranger trail is accessible from the campground and runs in either direction. This is not a loop! It connects to other campgrounds in Humboldt National Forest and spans more than 60 miles. We hiked out and back several times and drove the success loop (a beautiful scenic gravel road). One downside was the overgrowth of trees and weeds due to the campground being closed until recently, but there was plenty of shade. With the high elevation the nights did get chilly even though the days were warm. Drinking water available and pit toilets. No electric or hookups and no cell service. Overall, this campground was beautiful and a lovely place to spend a few quiet days relaxing.

  Typical KOA with large sites, although not much vegetation in between. Close to town. Surrounded by BLM land for lots of roaming. Nice staff.

  Nice KOA

  This review is for the KOA Journey just south of town on 93. We’ve been dry camping and hitting lots of free and cheap sites for a few weeks with our 17’ trailer . We wanted one night with hookups, hot showers with good water pressure, a laundry, WIFI, and quiet. This KOA delivered! No reservation needed and $48 including tax seems like a fair price. Super clean. Lots of RVs in sites pretty close together but doesn’t matter when it’s 20-degrees outside.

  Baker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park

  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.

  Baker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park

  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.

  Baker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park

  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.

  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.

  Large rv park

  This is an over all a good rv park off of the Main Street in ely. Full hook ups

  Gravel roads throughout They do have pads that are not cement but gravel but they do have tables in them. Big trees for some shade which is always good. Close to the town and the rly airport. About 5 minute drive to the ely train station which is super neat and have plenty of things going on including polar express. About 5 minute drive to a gas station. Nice grass area through and a fog walking area.

  Dispersed dry camping

  Nicely dispersed campsites tho dusty. No reservation campground with fire outs and picnic tables. Sites can accommodate RVs but not very level. Accessible via dirt road.
