Pinnacle Group Campsite — Great Basin National Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Hikers heading into Great Basin National Park via Snake Creek Road will find Pinnacle Group Campsite at the second marked pullout along that route, positioned between the road and Snake Creek. No fee is required. The site has two picnic tables and a metal fire ring, with trash bins and a vault toilet nearby. Snake Creek runs dry by summer, so campers must bring all their own water. The road is narrow, single-lane, and dusty, and a park sign prohibits RVs and trailers past the first pullout. Groups with multiple vehicles can use the vault toilet pullout for overflow parking. Trailheads sit at the road's end, making this a practical base for day hikes. No pets are permitted, and campgrounds around Great Basin National Park include nearby alternatives such as North Pinnacle Campsites — Great Basin National Park roughly a quarter mile west along the same road.

Solitude found at Pinnacle

Being a single group use site you can almost find solitude at Pinnacle. Pinnacle is the second campground along Great Basin National Park's Snake Creek Road. 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. Campground consist of a single group campsite. Plenty of room in the area for multiple sites. 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. Camping area has two picnic tables around a metal fire ring. Trash bins are located at the vault toilet. This is a dry campground, the creek is also dry here so come prepared.

Be warned, the information on the parks website is a bit misleading. Road is not for RV's or trailers. Just after you enter the park on Snake Creek Road a sign clearly indicated no RV's or trailers past the roads first pull out. Road is a narrow single lane road for almost all of its length. Camp site is just off a very dusty road, but road travel is slow with little traffic. Hiking trail heads are located at the end of the road. Vault toilet is new, and is not shown as present on maps for the park. No fee to use this site.
