From the 13,063-foot summit of Wheeler Peak to the sagebrush-covered foothills, Great Basin National Park hosts a sample of the incredible diversity of the larger Great Basin region.

Reviews

Great Basin National Park campgrounds provide beautiful, quiet, and well-maintained sites often near creeks with excellent access to hiking trails and outstanding stargazing opportunities. Visitors appreciate the clean facilities, peaceful settings, and friendly hosts. However, campers must prepare for limited or no potable water, some uneven or small campsites, occasional campfire restrictions, and a reservation system that can be confusing or frustrating. Roads leading to the campgrounds can be rough, and cell service is limited in some areas.

This campground appears to be newly renovated. New pavement, new garbage receptacles, new out houses. All very clean and well maintained. As far as activities, check out the visitors center for ideas on hikes etc. and even if u think it’s off season, make your cave tour reservations in advance. We were there late October and were unable to go on the cave tours; no openings

Beautiful campground. Bathroom was so clean you could eat off the floor; not recommended though😉. Shocked to find out the internet was excellent at our campsite. The Great Basin Cafe was great and people working there were so nice. Caves were great also. Park is beautiful and uncrowded.
