Great Basin National Park Nevada

Great Basin National Park Overview

Great Basin National Park encompasses over 77,000 acres and offers the visitors a variety of outdoor recreation activities including hiking/backpacking, fishing, wildlife viewing, picnicking, star-gazing, snow-shoeing, cross-country skiing, biking and much more. You can also hike up to the Wheeler Peak (13,063) and see 5,000-year-old Bristlecone pine trees or tour the beauty of Lehman Caves. Fall is also a great time to visit and see spectacular autumn colors.

Great Basin National Park Campgrounds

Great Basin National Park has five developed campgrounds including Baker Creek, Lower Lehman Creek, Upper Lehman Creek, Wheeler Peak and Grey Cliffs.  Baker Creek offers first-come, first-serve campsites and the rest of the campgrounds are reservable. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, tent pads, and campfire grills. Water is not available at the campgrounds but you can fill containers (not RVs) at the Lehman Caves Visitor Center. There are no hookups or leveled parking sites. Each campsite also has a table, fire ring/grill (8 people, 3 tents and 2 vehicles per site).

Lower Lehman Creek Campground is the only one open year-round. The other campgrounds are generally open from May until late September weather permitting. Water may not be available early and late in the season, and is not available in the winter at Lower Lehman Creek.

There is also one primitive campground along Snake Creek Road. Sites are first-come, first serve. Each campsite has picnic tables and fire rings.

Please visit the Great Basin National Park Service website for more info.
