Super easy place to spend the night. Price was right, full hookups with a shower and laundry facility. Baker is a hip little town. Grocery/book store across the street has nicely curated groceries for small store.

This location is ideal if you’re traveling across Nevada. It was very quiet and had full service, in addition to clean bathrooms and showers. I would certainly stop there again if I were in the area.

There is no gate btw. It’s just behind the baker fuel stop. We dry docked and it was fabulous. Love the fact they are not gouging us with cost. Lovely clean restroom and shower ($3). Laundry also available. Right on the road but it’s very quiet road. Full hooks ups were available. Definitely camp here again if passing.

Nice site !! Level gravel, new utilities , very open & quiet. The laundry & bathrooms were exceptionally clean. Easy access to the NP. Communications were informative & clear. Be aware that there is a large white dog that limps with a bad front paw that frequents the area that is super friendly & gentle but appears abandoned; he apparently belongs to the owner & regularly wanders around a lot & is fine.

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

We had a wonderful overnight stay at Baker Fuel and RV on our way to Great Basin. The skies were beautifully dark and absolutely filled with stars — such a peaceful spot to unwind after a day on the road. The RV sites were super clean and well-kept, and the showers were a highlight — hot water, great pressure, and nice privacy. You can tell the owners take pride in keeping things tidy and comfortable. Highly recommend this spot if you’re passing through or planning a visit to Great Basin. We’ll definitely stay again

We have a travel trailer and this was a nice small campground with everything we look for in a site . A perfect spot to explore the area. I like small towns and you can’t get much smaller.

We enjoyed our stay. It was surprisingly quiet. If I were to give cons to the site it would be, Site 3 was not very level. We couldn't move picnic table closer to the front door of rig due to mounds of dirt causing table to be very unlevel. The sewer hookup was rather far away from our hook up, but it did work. Although, the sewer connection is way to high out of the ground, and I couldn't get a slope to sewer to drain tanks well. I do have a question about the large pipe you have towards the street with a sign that is very outdated, and I am surprised it is still there. My understanding SNWA abandoned their effort to tap in the aquifer back in 2020!

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

These are very simple but level camp sites with well-maintained full hookups. The location is convenient to the national park visitor center and to the handful of businesses in town. The sites are easy in & easy out, even for big rigs, and a dumpster is conveniently located. There's an unattended 24-hour gas station on the same lot that carries diesel and is also easy access for big rigs.

Weekend Trip to Great Basin Desert Camping & RV

For us, this was the perfect spot to stay for exploring Great Basin National Park. Its proximity to the park was why we chose it. We received quick communication from the host with all the check-in info. When we arrived we were able to pull right in to our site and setup—no need to check in with anyone. The site was fairly level, we had to level a small amount. The power, water, and sewer hookups worked perfectly. We were in site 5 closest to the bathroom building, but that was not an issue. The view out our back window of the basin and distant mountains was worth it. The view at sunset was stunning. The little 2-pump gas station at the front of the property was a non-issue. We were never bothered by any noise from the station or bathroom. The Bristlecone General Store is a quick walk away and it is adorable. It’s a great place to grab a snack and coffee. The sky at night was beautiful. We drove up the park road at night to get away from the town lights so we could do some stargazing. Will 100% stay here again.

RV spots are easy back in for any length big rigs. Full hook ups great. Easy for our 27 foot ball mount trailer. The bathroom showers are new remodels and very very clean. 2 nights stay in Baker was quiet. I would stay again.

Easy self-service situation! Clean facilities. After vacating my spot I rode down the rode to a forest service road that went all the way up to the Park. Very cool spot, will keep in mind when I come back this way!

Nice space. Much quieter than I feared with the gas station in front. Connections all worked well. Most "night lights " on the space posts worked, but ours did not. The laundry room is small, but the machines worked perfectly and are only $1.50 each.
