Photo · NPSThe place
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. Keep reading

Recreation The park offers a variety of trails with views of mountain peaks and alpine lake surrounded by beautiful cliffs at trail's end.

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.
