Camping at Squirrel Springs

Squirrel Springs is the largest campsite area along Snake Creek Road with 4 campsites. It is the fourth campsite area along Great Basin National Park's Snake Creek Road. Campground is clearly marked and is on the south side of the road. Campground sits between the road and Snake Creek and sits among small and medium sized trees which provide some shade. Campground consist of four campsites that are well spread a part from each other. Parking for the campsites begins just past the vault toilet. Camping sites each have a picnic tables and a metal fire ring. Trash bin and recycling bin are located at the vault toilet. This is a dry campground, 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 was very clean. No fee to use this site.
