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 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.

This was our first Hipcamp experience and we were a bit skeptical about an unmanned campground in a gravel parking lot behind an unmanned gas station that shared the bathhouse with the gas station, a 3-room motel, 5 tent sites, and the general public. But it was awesome. Sites were level, clean, and had excellent views in multiple directions. The bathrooms were very nice, well-maintained and consistently clean. Laundry room prices were reasonable. It was very close to Great Basin National Park. And I got some awesome dark sky shots of the Milky Way plus telescope captures of a galaxy far, far away from the tent camping area and the ridge above it (which also had perfectly positioned Adirondack chairs to observe Wheeler Peak and ponder the wonders of the universe). The sites will only improve as the newly planted trees grow and provide some shade.

Clean flat camp sites with picnic tables and a nice bathhouse with showers and laundry. Quiet at night even though it is near the road. Very little traffic in the area.

Campground was exactly what I needed. Close access to Great Basin NP, utilities, nice clean bathrooms. Host communicated well and was very accommodating! Just a word of warning if you are looking for pure darkness, the gas station lights stay on so the star viewing may be better done from the park. But I would absolutely stay here again.

Small campground with only 5 sites, but well situated to Great Basin NP. Flat sites with a concrete pad for the picnic table and to sit out in chairs. Ants were pretty bad, so bring some spray to keep them at bay. It's a bit noisy as it's the only fuel station in the area. We were disappointed that we didn't get to see the stars like we wanted, as the full moon foiled us one night and clouds the next. The drive up to Mt. Wheeler is a must. The views are awesome. But the campground was fine with 5 spots, there's also 3 small rooms to rent (like a motel). Restroom and showers were also available, although we did not use them.

This is a nice little RV campground that is clean, roomy and has all the essentials…power, water, and sewer hookups. Although the majority of the site is gravel, there are nice cement pads and picnic tables at each spot. the bathrooms are clean and well-stocked and there are laundry facilities.
This is the perfect place to stay for a trip to Great Basin National Park. Be aware that there is no office, store or pool.

We really enjoyed our night here before heading into Great Basin National Park. The campground is quiet and peaceful, even though it's close to the road. The bathrooms were very clean, the hot showers were great, and it was nice to have access to a reasonably priced laundry room, a dump station, and clean drinking water.
When I got back from an early morning walk, I found our van surrounded by mule deer, which was a pretty special way to start the day.
We also enjoyed spending a little time in Baker. Everyone we met was friendly, and we loved walking to the general store—it was surprisingly well stocked and fun to browse.
You can tell the owners take pride in the campground and work hard to make it a comfortable place to stay. It's a great value and an easy recommendation for anyone visiting Great Basin.

We only stayed here for the night as we made a trek back home, but seemed like an amazing spot to look at the stars. Although we didn’t get to go into Great Basin NP the location of this site made for easy access. The bathrooms being clean was also a plus.

Stayed for 3 nights and our site was great! Clean, level, well maintained. Showers were very clean, and washer and dryer worked wonderfully. 3 minutes to the Great Basin visitor center, and 10 minutes to the Lehman visitor center. We had a perfect stay. Would highly recommend for your trip to Great Basin.

Easy set up, level stone parking lot. It had accommodating laundry, showers, and bathrooms. Very close access to Great Basin National Park. It’s technically the “back yard” of the gas pumps, but that traffic wasn’t an issue. We would stay again when back at that park.
Host did reply immediately to a question which was helpful.

This place is great! It's quiet and close to the entrance to Great Basin. The showers are super clean and the sites are well maintained. I know it's at a gas station, but who cares! You don't notice at all because out here all you see are the spectacular views. There's no bad spot here. If you're looking for a place to camp near Great Basin National Park, this is it!
