C A M P I N G // Great Basin National Park

Booking your campsite near Great Basin is very simple. Visit https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234207 and choose your site at Ward Mountain. You pay online so additional fees aren't needed.

When you arrive, your name will already be marked on the site so you won't be able to miss the one you're designated to.  These sites have:

• potable water 🚰
• fire pit
• vault toilets 

It's a good rule of thumb to bring your own water, and there was potable water at the campsite. I've been using reusable gallons (https://amzn.to/2t3jBEC) to hold water versus buying individual gallons (i.e., arrowhead gallons, etc.). These containers usually come with spigots so you can use it to dispense water for drinking as well as creating a makeshift hand washing station. Please please please use biodegradable soap (https://amzn.to/2GizsXt). It's good for you and good for the environment.

This location is really convenient since McDonald's, a grocery store and gas stations are nearby so you don't need to worry if you forget anything at home.

The downside is that this location has a lot of bees so bring your bugs pray (https://amzn.to/2WAhKVb) and bug repellent materials.

Great Basin is actually an hour drive from this location and easily a day trip. I don't think multi-day visits are necessary if you pack properly. I was under prepared because I had anticipated it to be hot all day and then the rain/clouds came in and the temperature dropped.

The Ward Ovens are also within 20 minute driving distance. They are a beautiful site to see with a meteor shower.
