Baker Creek Campground — 37 sites, fees and cancellation alerts

Overview

Baker Creek Campground is one of five developed campgrounds at Great Basin National Park. Intended for those who like to plan on a bit shorter notice, this campground has a short reservation window to accommodate those last second travel plans. Baker Creek is an ideal campground for those seeking out the backcountry with the Baker Lakes Loop Trailhead easily accessible from this location. You’ll find plenty of shade, you’re close to the Lehman Caves Visitor Center for cave tour access, and slightly higher elevation for cooler temps even on scorching days. Experience the full breadth of what the park has to offer from Baker Creek.

Recreation

The park offers a variety of trails with views of mountain peaks and alpine lake surrounded by beautiful cliffs at trail's end. Reserve a guided tour of Lehman Caves, take the scenic drive to the face of 13,063 foot Wheeler Peak or see 5,000 year old Bristlecone pine trees grow on rocky glacial moraines. Baer Creek trailhead and Pole Canyon are the two closest trailheads to Baker Creek Campground and are open during the summer months when this campground is open.

Facilities

Baker Creek Campground offers picnic tables, fire pits with attached grills, vault toilets, and multiple ADA accessible sites. Located just off Baker Creek Road, it is nearby the trailhead bearing the same name. Trails towards Grey Cliffs campground and ultimately the Pole Canyon Trail or the Baker Creek Trailhead also leave from the campground, making for easy access to a network of dozens of miles of backcountry access.

Natural Features

Baker Creek Campground is set in a Pinyon-Juniper forested landscape, with the occasional much larger and older ponderosa pine. Find the grey cliffs behind the campground, jutting out from otherwise mild slopes. See Baker Peak and Doso Doyabi from various areas in this little valley.

Nearby Attractions

Don't forget, Great Basin National Park was forshadowed when Lehman Caves was annointed a National Monument in 1922. The cave and its underground wonders are just a few miles away behind the Lehman Caves Visitor Center. Access is by tour only so be sure to book a reservation before you arrive, or stop by the visitor center to check on remaining availability.
