About
Overview
For visitors to Great Basin National Park, Grey Cliffs Campground is an ideal place to setup and start exploring. Experience the solitude of the desert, the smell of sagebrush after a thunderstorm, the darkest of night skies, and the beauty of Lehman Caves.
Recreation
The park offers a variety of trails with views of mountain peaks and alpine lake surrounded by beautiful cliffs at trail's end. Reserve a guided tour of Lehman Caves, take the scenic drive to the face of 13,063 foot Wheeler Peak or see 5,000 year old Bristlecone pine trees grow on rocky glacial moraines.
Facilities
The Grey Cliffs Campground offers vault toilets only. There is no potable water, but water is available at the (first-come, first-served) Baker Creek Campground, the RV Sanitary Station from late spring through early fall or year round at the Lehman Caves Visitor Center.
A campfire is allowed in campfire rings only. RVs are not permitted due to space constraints.
Natural Features
The campground is tucked beside limestone cliffs and set amongst pinyon pines.

Is Grey Cliffs Campground fully booked?
A campground showing no availability is almost never full for good. People cancel — plans change, weather turns, someone books three weekends and keeps one — and the site goes straight back into the booking system, usually without warning and often at odd hours. The reason sold-out campgrounds feel impossible is not that sites never free up; it is that nobody is watching at the moment they do.
CampHawk watches Grey Cliffs Campground for you. We recheck it every 15 seconds, around the clock, and the moment a site opens we send a text, an email and a push notification — and on Recreation.gov we can put the site straight into your cart, so it is held while you get to your phone.
Searching is free and needs no account — the calendar above is live right now. Watching Grey Cliffs Campground for cancellations is the paid part.
