Squirrel Springs Campsites — Great Basin National Park
L
Reviewed Nov. 5, 2021

Isolated section of Great Basin NP-- Snake Creek

Separate section of Great Basin NP includes free primitive campsites along snake creek, but you will eat dust in abundance if you camp in the first few miles….best to go as far as possible. Sites are directly on road but sites are upscale & clean.

No water but clean vault toilets in these group sites suitable for individual campers.

Fire rings & some tables provided.

No cell, no internet, no nothing, no gas for miles.

This is your back up plan if the park is otherwise full or you want to hike Johnson Lake Trail. Advice: get sequence of campsite names from Rangers before heading into dispersed area. Maps do not source names of the sites along the way but they are marked on road. (Monkey Rock is first site, then Pinnacle and Squirrel, but forgot to take names of remaining sites.)
