Baker Creek Campground

Baker Creek Campground is one of five developed campgrounds at Great Basin National Park. It 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 the slightly higher elevation means cooler temps even on scorching days. The 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. Baer Creek trailhead and Pole Canyon are the two closest trailheads, open during the summer months when this campground is open. The park offers a variety of trails with views of mountain peaks and an alpine lake surrounded by beautiful cliffs at trail's end. Take the scenic drive to the face of 13,063 foot Wheeler Peak, or see 5,000 year old bristlecone pine trees growing on rocky glacial moraines. Lehman Caves, annointed a National Monument in 1922, is just a few miles away behind the Lehman Caves Visitor Center; access to the cave and its underground wonders is by guided tour only. 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, and see Baker Peak and Doso Doyabi from various areas in this little valley.
