    Garnet Hill Camp

    Challenging road but close to Ely and great views

    When you see the turnaround, if you have a trailer, don't go further up the road! There is nowhere to turn around but there is a vault toilet and garbage receptacle at the top of the hill. A little dusty and breezy but beautiful and free! Great cell reception.

    Monkey Rock Group Campsites — Great Basin National Park

    Beautiful Site

    This was a very nice and well taken care of site. There was a fire ban when we went, so we had to use a camp stove, but there is a fireplace and a grill at the site as well as two picnic tables and a vault toilet. The creek running near by was small but made perfect background noise. Make sure you have enough gas to get there and back to Baker, Garrison does not have a gas station!

    Ward Mountain Campground

    Good for a quick night

    Nice place to sleep for a quick rest, otherwise it’s just a normal campsite.

    Sacramento Pass BLM Campground

    Great spot for free

    For this to be a free campground, it's really nice! Each site is an established site, with a covered picnic table & firepit. Each site is spaced out also. There's 2 bathrooms & a dumpster. Right above great basin national park. Very clean also. Stayed here on a Tuesday & there were only 2 other people.

    Sacramento Pass BLM Campground

    Sacramento pass

    Beautiful and clean dispersed camping. There are many different sites. Even has restrooms. The best sites are further back in the forest don't stop at the main section just off the road.

    Whispering Elms Motel, Campground, & RV Park

    Our site was bad. Some are better

    Our site (24) is crappy. No trees, back by the car charger, motel. Electric doesn't work on 30 amp, had to use an adapter to use 50. Showers have only cold water Won't be staying here again, not for $70.00. On the plus side, some sites have trees and look more like a campsite should.

    Garnet Hill Camp

    Garnet Hill

    The area just after turning right off of the Pole Line Road has many camping spots but weak cell service. About one thousand feet before the top of Garnet Hill, at a 90 degrees right hand turn, there are a number of good, level spots with excellent cell service on T-Mobile. I would not take a trailer or large motor home to the top of the hill. There are no good places for trailers (tents are ok) and the parking lot at the top is small. It would be difficult to turn a trailer around.

    Bird Creek Campground

    Very private location

    Nice and quiet small campground. 9 sites and a group area. Seems a great place for mountain biking and hiking. 3 decent vault toilets spread out nicely. Absolutely no noise and I was there on a Saturday and Sunday. Quite cool at night. Nice and breezy during the day. One big pull thru site. The rest are back in or tent.
