About
Grey Cliffs Campground provides a quintessential Great Basin experience, tucked beneath towering limestone cliffs amid fragrant pinyon pine forest. The campground offers 10 individual tent sites in Loop A and 3 group sites in Loop C, each equipped with a picnic table and metal fire ring. Two ADA-accessible sites (A8 and C3) are located adjacent to accessible vault restrooms. This tent-only campground operates seasonally from late May through September, with reservations available up to six months in advance via Recreation.gov. There is no potable water on site; campers should fill containers at Lower Lehman Creek Campground or the Lehman Caves Visitor Center before arriving. Trash and recycling collection is provided seasonally. The campground's location makes it an excellent launching point for Great Basin's highlights. Reserve a guided tour of Lehman Caves with its rare shield formations, hike the Bristlecone Pine Trail to see trees over 5,000 years old, or drive to the Wheeler Peak trailhead for alpine lake views. The park's International Dark Sky designation means exceptional stargazing opportunities right from your campsite.
