Wheeler Peak Campground
Wheeler Peak Campground sits at nearly 10,000 feet elevation within Great Basin National Park, offering 36 reservable campsites that welcome tents, RVs, trailers, and other equipment—no permit draw required.
Three of the 36 sites are ADA-accessible, and all are standard campsites positioned beneath Wheeler Peak's dramatic alpine cliffs. The high elevation means your campground neighbors include Engelman spruce, mule deer, and mountain meadows, with tumbling brooks and aspen groves as constant backdrops.
The Wheeler Peak Bristlecone Grove trailhead lies within walking distance, putting some of Earth's oldest trees within reach of your camp. If Wheeler Peak's elevation or crowds don't suit your trip, Baker Creek Campground, Lower Lehman Creek Campground, and Upper Lehman Creek Campground offer alternative sites elsewhere in the park.
