Most of the town seems to be closed up, but the parks and the few community centers that are open are great for kids. Passing through they were very accommodating and able to get us a spot for the night which was great as we did not call ahead.

Now there's only a small tire repair garage and an area to park RVs or tent camp on the grass with an adjacent covered picnic area with a BBQ grill. The accommodation price is right and there is a small laundry room, flush toilet, and a hot shower in a heated building. Come prepared as there are no stores or anything if you run out of supplies. Call first to set up accommodations as this is a long way to drive and be disappointed if space is unavailable. Locals are friendly and can talk for hours about the local happenings. Downside is the highway traffic can be noisy at night but you get used to it.

It's about 7 miles from the town of Ely and very easy to access. We were the only people out here at the time so it was perfect. There is a fee of $5 to pay. There are six bee hive shaped charcoal ovens which were highly used from 1876 - 1879 to help process the silver ore that was discovered in this area. The Egan mountain range hosts the ovens and it's just a beautiful park. Once the mining ended, the ovens were used as a shelter for travelers and sometimes a hide out for bandits on the loose. The park features camping, picnicking, hiking, mountain biking and fishing. Lots of wild life her including mule deer and elk. We hiked around a bit and just took in the sights and sounds of this wonderful place. Definitely worth a stop should you be traveling this way.

It's a bit old and yes there are some run down looking buildings, but I think that's just the vibe of Baker.

Per Google: "The Great Basin is a large, arid region in the western United States, defined by its geography and centered on Nevada. It is situated between the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges to the west and the Rocky Mountains to the east. The region includes most of Nevada, about half of Utah, and parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, and California." While planning our visit, I looked on the nps.gov website, I saw that there are cave tours. I signed up for the Lehman Cave Parachute Shield Tour. The tickets are purchased from recreation.gov website. We started off with a visit to the Great Basin Visitor Center where we looked at exhibits and got a general feel for the area. We bought a few small souvenirs and were on our way! I must say that the park was super beautiful with the changing of the leaves! Parts of the mountains were lit up with red & gold foliage! We drove the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive all the way to the Wheeler Peak Overlook. Go slow-ish and enjoy the views! We stopped by: Osceola Ditch Trail - was a man-made waterway used for mining Wheeler Peak Summit Trail Summit Trailhead Bristlecone-Alpine Lakes Trailhead Mather Overlook Wheeler Peak Overlook - end of the scenic drive and has an awesome view of [yes!] Wheeler Peak Wheeler Peak Overlook is the final destination of the scenic drive. There are stops along the drive. Since we weren't hiking, we stopped at most of the pull-outs and parking lots. Wheeler Peak stands at 13,063 feet and is the second tallest point in Nevada! There are viewing scopes you can use to get a closer look! We made a quick stop at Mather Overlook. You can see Wheeler Peak from here as well. This overlook is named for Stephen Mather, the first director of the National Park Service (NPS). There's a cool bronze relief map of the Wheeler cirque. Then we drove back down to the Lehman Caves Visitor Center for our tour. The tour was very informative and was roughly an hour long. We stayed in Ely, NV which suited our needs. Baker, NV seemed pretty desolate from what I saw driving on the NV-487. Great Basin National Park is fairly remote compared to other National Parks, but definitely worth coming out to visit at least once!

We chose the hardest trail both grade and altitude wise and off we went. We were there in early October and the leaves were changing so that was a plus. Our hike was a great challenge and we got in a terrific workout. The lake itself is currently being drained to fix the dam. This will take some serious time so I would not advise heading here to fish until this work is completed. I can only imagine how beautiful the lake is when full. I still found it lovely to visit and hike the surrounding mountains. Plenty of quality campsites and not crowded at all. In Nevada, we still have many wide open spaces to explore. So grateful for that fact! I will definitely return once the lake is full again so I can really enjoy the area even more.

If you love the gentle hum of an RV generator, this is your place! We're tent campers, and the place just isn't as welcoming to our kind. While all of the RV folks were in the larger campsites, we were able to score a really lovely private spot overlooking the reservoir. The ground was extremely hard and it took quite a bit of arm strength to get the stakes in. Plus it was very windy! But once we were finished we had a nice, relaxing evening, minus the annoying aforementioned hum that continued all night long. It's unfortunate that the place isn't better maintained. Our fire pit had a ton of burned beer and soda cans and other miscellaneous garbage left by rednecks which we had to clear before starting a fire. The outhouse by the reservoir was a war zone. I couldn't muster the courage to step inside with the horrible smells it emitted and the swarm of flying insects buzzing by the entrance. At that point I was thankful that our campsite was private, if you know what I mean. The Bureau of Land Management should really keep a closer eye on this campground. If they had more of a presence then people would be less likely to litter and disrespect nature. Oh, and making the two-mile gravel road from the highway to the campground impassable for RVs wouldn't hurt either.
