Baker Creek Campground — Great Basin National Park
Reviewed Jul. 17, 2020

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).
