About
The Dump Station at Great Basin National Park is a service facility located near the Lehman Caves Visitor Center, not a campground. This facility is strictly for RV sewage dumping and trash disposal—overnight camping is not permitted at this location.
The dump station operates seasonally, typically from late May through October, closing for winter when overnight temperatures drop below freezing. The facility features fresh water access and black water flush capabilities to assist with thorough tank cleaning. The dump station is well-maintained and clean according to visitor reports.
Payment is handled through an honor system where users place $10 cash in an envelope. This is the only dump station within Great Basin National Park, making it a convenient stop for RVers visiting the park's campgrounds or passing through the area. For those needing year-round dump station access, alternative facilities can be found in the town of Baker.
The facility is easily accessible from Highway 488, the main road through the park. While the dump station itself has no camping amenities, it serves as a practical service point for visitors staying at the park's various campgrounds including Wheeler Peak, Baker Creek, Upper and Lower Lehman Creek campgrounds.
