PLEASE read all of the details before booking so you book the site that works best for you and also so you understand where you are staying. You will receive messages from us after booking and before your arrival, so please check your Hipcamp inbox. The RV spaces are behind the Baker Fuel and RV gas station. All sites are back-in only and have full hook-ups: 30amp and 50 amp electricity, sewer and water. There is a public bathroom, shower and laundry facility next to the sites. RV Site 5 is closest to the bathroom and RV Site 1 is furthest away. This camping part of the property offers five primitive campsites, situated in a natural, secluded area that was once a pond. Conveniently just south of the only gas station in town and behind the Great Basin Basecamp Airbnb, the sites are close to the highway but sit lower in elevation, providing privacy and shielding them from the road. Guests have access to a small building with clean restrooms, showers and one set of coin-operated laundry facilities for added convenience. Campsite #6 is closest to the restrooms, #10 is the furthest. No campfires as our fire danger is very high most of the year. There are potable water spigots at Site #6, between #7 and #8 and Site #10. The Lehman Caves Visitor Center at Great Basin National Park is about 5 miles up the road on Highway 488.

Basic campsites. Road was very washboard-like on the way in but campground was good and quiet.

Absolutely stunning campground. Pretty far from other campers secluded and quiet. Right by a creek and beautiful surroundings. No water available but visitor center close by

Peaceful campground, but dusty and hot

18 ft campervan

I camped at Baker Creek on July 15th, 2025 in Site #17. I'd highly recommend this specific site as you share no direct neighbors and have clear line of sight for Starlink and solar. I only had 1 bar of intermittent LTE on Google Fi (T-Mobile) Very quiet campground during my stay, most folks arrived around dinner time and were out early the next morning. Felt like a stopover place for travelers making their way across the "Loneliest Road in America". I had the entire loop to myself during working hours. Clean pit toilets, trash cans available, and nice fire-pits and picnic tables. The campground is very close to Lehman Caves Visitor Center. The campground was not sold-out during my stay, many sites were available and/or had no-shows. My only real issue was the dust. With temperatures near 100°F in July, I had to keep the windows open. Since the campground loops and sites aren't paved, every gust of wind blew a fine layer of dust over everything inside my rig

Right on a creek

12 ft travel trailer

We were suspicious because this was the only campground with any availability. It turned out to be very nice and not to far from the must see spots of the national park. Our site was right on a creek. The campground is private and quiet.

Beautiful Campgrounds

Campervan

We booked last minute and were lucky to get a few nights at Baker Creek Campground! We enjoyed our stay in our camper van. Pros: • spacious campgrounds and serene • shady areas with trees • beautiful mountain views with creek nearby • RV, camper van, tent friendly • cute chipmunks running around • clean restrooms (non-flush toilets) • bear proof trash bins Cons: • dirt roads leading into campgrounds • the area to set-up tents have concrete floor and hard grounds so it’s impossible to stake down tent, we ended up using large rocks around campground to help weigh it down • no water amenities

Beautiful!

Great Basin National Park is a must go camping trip. Plentiful spots if you get there before 5pm, even on a weekend. Baker Creek is raging this time of year and wildflowers are all over every hike. Wild Turkeys run around the camp, and watch out for Marmots crossing the road! Would definitely recommend!

All campgrounds in GBNP are first come, first serve (with the exception of Grey Cliffs group site which is reservable online). We were able to find a trailer spot on Friday afternoon of a 3 day weekend. It's a beatiful place, Baker Creek is close to the Baker Creek trailhead so you don't even have to drive to access hiking trails. $12. No host was on site at the time. Some sites are trailer friendly, others are on the creek. Two sites good for big pull through rigs.
