"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"
"We drove around for a while and finally found this spot. The group sites were closed due to the pandemic but they did have individual first come first serve sites - you had to drive in to see it."
"Campground sits between the road and Snake Creek and sits among small and medium sized trees which provide some shade."
"FREE
Site: Squirrel Springs Campsites (First past bathroom)
Vehicle: GMC Terrain
Equipment: Tent
AT&T and T-Mobile: Slow but useable
The Squirrel Springs Campsites are about 9 miles from Highway"
"Be careful how you enter this area Google tried to direct me right through the mountains and it was impossible with the two wheel drive truck."
"Eagle Peak is by far the nicest campsite location along Great Basin National Parks Snake Creek Road."
"There are picnic tables and fire rings (so it’s primitive, I guess, but not dispersed) but you are asked to keep yourself within 30 feet of them and not so far off the beaten path that things get unwieldy"
"Arrived around 3-4pm, very limited spots left. No cell service! Stayed in a 4wd van"
"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."
"Parking for the campground is just past the vault toilet. If your group has multiple cars more could park at the pull off at the vault toilet."
"Campground is clearly marked, and is on the south side of the road at the second vault toilet along Snake Creek Road. Campground sits between the road and Snake Creek, which was dry in June."
LegendWhile 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.
LegendThis 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).
GuideThis is a campground within Great Basin National Park. It is reservation only, which is why we picked it, but there are several other campgrounds within the park. I believe the others are first come, first served. We found that the sites were pretty private and not on top of each other at all. The cliffs here are very pretty and are a nice backdrop. Grey Cliffs is a tent only area and each site has a fire ring with a grill and a picnic table. There is no running water, vault toilets and trash cans put here and there. We have a tent that needs to be staked-this was a problem there. The ground is so rocky it became very difficult to drive a spike into the ground far enough to work and not bend them. Do not bring a large tent, the pads are small. It wasn’t terrible once we were set up, and the price is right. If we were to come back to the park we’d try to either camp at Baker or Wheeler Peak, up the road a ways.
LegendBaker 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.
ScoutThis 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!
RangerWe 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.
LegendUpper Lehman Creek campground nice sized campground in Great Basin National Park. Campground has 24 sites sitting in trees. Campground is available by reservation only. This is the second campground along the paved Wheeler Peak Drive. Campground road and parking pads are all paved. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Trash, recycling is available. Campground has vault toilets. The campground has two ADA campsites(Site#2 and#18) . While water spigots are located through out the campground water is currently not available at the campground and a fire restriction was in effect. Water can be obtained at the Visitor Center. Campsites are nicely spread apart and being in the park made for a silent night with the only sounds coming from the nearby creek. Some of these campsites are listed as no tents, so be careful when registering for a site if you are tent camping.
GuideAs the connotation infers these sites are large and clean. Paved parking, dedicated tent sites, picnic tables, fire rings and bbq. Clean, well maintained pit toilets. Set in a well treed area with a creek on either side of the loop. A few pull through spots and a few tent only spots makes a well rounded campground. The stars are amazing!Lehman Cave as well as Wheeler Peak are just minutes away. Hikers rejoice. We volunteered for a project on Public Lands Day and also squeezed in some pine nut harvesting. At $23 a pound who wouldn’t? The weather was iffy for our first time here. Rain, wind and snow with a few sunny breaks. We would definitely come back, but maybe a little earlier in the year next time. FYI, this park seems to always be needing camp hosts. Hint, hint.
GuideWe stayed on August 2nd. We took a chance and drove up on a Saturday. Needless to say we were afraid that we wouldn’t find a spot. We drove around for a while and finally found this spot. The group sites were closed due to the pandemic but they did have individual first come first serve sites - you had to drive in to see it.
The site worked for us as we have a rooftop tent so we always gain space and have no worries about setting up tents in the ground. Each site has a fire ring and a table. The vault toilet was a bit of a walk from our location but we were happy to have a spot, so it didn’t matter.
The views were nice and the night sky is amazing at Great Basin. Very little to no light pollution. Unfortunately we didn’t get any hiking in as we had the dog with us. Dogs are allowed at the campsite but not on a majority of the trails at Great Basin.
