Lower Lehman Creek Campground

Lower Lehman Creek Campground is a small, very nice campground, in a rather remote area of Nevada. In the Great Basin area. At elevation above the real small community of Baker Nevada. Paved road and campsites scattered in an area of trees. Some sites are pull through. Others back in. Tents to RVs. Enough trees to provide some shade and privacy from other campsites. High enough in elevation to have comfortable night time temps In otherwise desert heat. Vault toilets that are kept clean. No shower facilities. Centralized drinking water that you can fill containers and carry. A long drive from any town of size. But what isn’t in rural Nevada? Depending on how high up you camp, this area can get you out of the summer heat. On the other hand, winter comes early and stays late at higher elevations. It is an oasis in the desert. But you better be prepared for remote camping without lots of amenities. With first come first served, and such an out of the way spot, it is hard to depend on getting a campsite. If you don’t, it is a long way to anything else as a backup. For this single reason I can’t rate my review higher. Lehman Creek runs through the campground area. Lehman Caves is just down the road, as is the visitor/ranger station. Some very interesting ranger lead programs and cave tours. A must do if you have the time. There is another campground just above lower Lehman. [Upper Lehman Creek]. Another with RV/Trailer sites. Both Lower and Upper Lehman Creek Campgrounds fill up fast on a first come, first served basis. There is a third campground [Wheeler Peak Campground] way up the mountain at about 10,000 ft. Don't attempt to take RVs or Trailers to the 10,000 ft campgrounds. The roads in the campground are one way, tight, and the sites are very small. You might squeeze in something like a small tear drop. But those sites are often occupied early. This campground is more for tent camping out of your car. The individual sites parking areas {Wheeler] are often too small and too short to accommodate a small vehicle and small trailer even if you attempt to detach and park side by side. In Baker Nevada, a few miles away from Lower Lehman, there is a dump station at the gas pumps on the east end of town. The gas pumps almost fake you out, making you think they are not in business. A few pumps in a gravel pull off. No building, no workers. Credit card only. Baker has a couple small restaurants and one small convenience store. Limited hours and limited supplies. They often run out of ice....so don't wait to buy until you are completely out.

Beautiful veiws and protected from the wind. Open in winter, but the water is off (you can fill up and Visitor Center). Pit toilets are in great condition. The sites have tables and fire rings, and are very spacious. There is Juniper and Pinion Pine, and of course Aspen (so early fall is probably amazing). Many sites have drive-thru loops, so pulling a trailer or large van is easy.

Great campground. Lots of people who book don't cancel their reservations when they find out the water is shut off early October so there were a lot of open sites that people could have. We reserved our spot a month ago with tickets to the cave. The kids loved it. We will be coming back with a better idea of the best campsites.

Ery pretty campground with some sited along a stream. Some pull through spaces. 11 sites and usually reservation only unless you get lucky. Water turned off. Clean vault toilets.

Beautiful campground. First come first serve, you pay at the entrance of the campground putting cash in a box. Ranger do come by and check that you paid.

Nice little campground. We stayed in a 24' class C, saw a 42' DP in site 10.

Nestled within the confines of a national park, the campground may be small in size but big on natural beauty. While basic amenities like water and a dump station are only available in the summer, the campsite is open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. However, it's worth noting that the parking pads on the sites are smaller than your typical campsites and may not be level, making them less suitable for larger RVs. About half of the sites can accommodate vans and small RVs, while only a quarter can accommodate trailers or larger RVs. Nonetheless, the stunning natural surroundings make this a worthwhile destination for those who appreciate the great outdoors.

There is a small creek, but no a lot of things to see.

BEAUTIFUL campground only a 5 minute drive from the Great Basin NP's Lehman Cave Visitors center. Most of the sites were big enough to accommodate our 30 foot travel-trailer (though a bit tight for the slide-outs). No hook-ups but there's water and a dump station near the visitors center. There are pit toilets and water spigots at either end of the loop. There aren't many sites though and its 1st come, 1st serve so have a back up plan. We did not explore the Upper Campground but were told by other campers that the sites were much smaller. There are plenty of places around to boondock if you don't get a site, and be sure to book a tour though the cave. It's well worth the fare and they sold out every day we were there.

Small primitive campground at Great Basin NP. Open year round and it has about 20 very private sites. Some are pull through and can accommodate 30' campers. Note that road to Wheeler peak is restricted to 24' and under. Has 2 pit toilets. Water is only available summer. And a self pay station. Campsites have picnic tables and fire pits. Make reservations at the park website but no need after 1 Nov. Only $12 a night.

Dry camping without power or sewer but the location is FANTASTIC! And the price is very much right. If Lower Lehman is full then try Upper Lehman. If that's full too then there is another campground higher up (can't remember the name).
