Baker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park

Tent campers here. National Park campground is decent. I reserve 5 star ratings for truly exceptional places, this ain't it. Vault toilets, no water during our stay (June '26). It's sits above a mile elevation, so the temps were decent at night, with gorgeous night sky views. Our campsite was #5, we travel with 2 one man tents and we had to finagle them into our site, but if our tents had been much bigger there would have been a problem. Best I can say about the campground is proximity to the NP and things to do there. Unlike most NPs this one doesn't really have a town to service it. There's a small general store in town that has stuff ($$$) and a Sinclair with gas (also $$$) fortunately for us, we're a self contained unit with provisions for about a week. I'd recommend double checking supplies before coming here. The Wheeler peak hikes are fantastic.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Beautiful camp spot next to the creek. Stars, water sounds, fall colors, and wildlife all amazing! However the price is now $20 per night.

Great site, clean bathrooms, pretty scenery. Get here early as possible it’s tricky to find a spot.

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.

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.

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.

Well spaced sites. Plenty of clean pit toilets.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!
