Only used electricity as we were in late and out early. We needed to protect our trailer pipes and sleep warm when it was going to be a wind chill in teens. Scored. Mayby half dozen other rigs. Rocky rv pads. The Great Basin campgrounds are without hookups and pull through was what we wanted. Did not use wifi. Password NOT in confirmation email; make sure to ask. Total fee $39.73

Convenient to Great Basin, only real option that had hookups and took reservations. Level site but weeds were overgrown. Did not use any of the park’s facilities (shower, washing machine) as our trip was short. Camp hosts seemed nice, other campers were very friendly.

I travelled here with a 35’ 5th wheel, long bed pickup and parked in site #17, a FHU PT site for $40/night.
The first impression pulling in was not very good especially given the price they charge. There is a mish mash of buildings, old RV’s, a rundown motel, a food truck and a couple of shacks. It looks like there are some LT residents in some of the trailers. I had to go in the bar up at the front of the park to register since I had no cell signal so the contactless registration didn’t work for me. The place reeked of smoke. The road/sites are all gravel and it’s fairly level although I did need boards under one side. There are some trees for shade, but no other landscaping. It was easy to get into my spot, but it is in close proximity to other rigs. Wifi was available and was moderately good. I had 4 bars of 3G Verizon service. Handful of OTA channels. The laundry was clean. 4 machines at $2 for wash and $2 for dryer time. Bathroom was not very nice. 1 shower and it needed work. It is just across from where you turn to go to Great Basin National Park so it’s very convenient for visiting there. I would only stay there if I couldn't get a spot in the NP itself.
If you go, eat at Kerouac’s. Great food – small plates, and interesting wine/bar/beer selections.

This RV park is literally steps from the visitor center for Great Basin NP. Overall, our stay was good. We had FHU at our site, clean restrooms and hot showers. Staying in Baker in the off season somewhat limits choices for eating out, although during the summer season there are a few restraunts in town. That said, the food truck at the Park, 487 Grill, has great burgers and other items. The park manager was helpful, guided us to our site upon arrival. The lodge has a bar, pool table, and shuffleboard, as well as frozen food items and an oven for baking. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Great Basin.

First off - Baker is a rough town. There is nothing for miles on either side and really this RV park is your only option for hookups and man is it hot.

The park is as well kept as it can be in a one restaurant, no grocery store town. The owner can be prickly, but hang in there and be kind. The bathrooms and showers work and are hot. And the road to go into the NP is literally across the street.

Stayed a couple nights on the way to Bryce. Sadly the RV park is in need of a lot of work. It’s surrounded by sketchy buildings and junk. The owner and I got into a bit of an altercation on our way out. My young son was being an eight year old and dropped a small rock down an open sewer pipe. Admittedly he shouldn’t have, but he’s also a child. The owner saw this and started yelling at him. I was about 30 feet away hooking up my rig. He came right up to me, no mask, and started yelling and generally had a melt down. He told me he I would have to pay for repairs to which I agreed. He continued to rant and rave like a mad man. Fearing for the safety of my children, I quickly finished hooking up and left. The second we started driving I got an alert for a $150 “repair” charge. The place is sketchy and the owner is a mad raving lunatic. Stay away.

We did all the national parks in California and with few exceptions, hated the rv sites near most of them. In Cali you were crammed near other rv's, wifi was a paid upgrade, prices were laughable, and were far from the actual National Parks. Whispering Elms is the exact opposite. Free wifi, 100 yards to the NP visitor center, clean, friendly, etc.

There aren’t many options in this area. Whispering elms has a few RV spots and a tiny motel. As others have said, dated but friendly and clean. I was happy to have an option for electric hookups on a quick trip passing through.

Stayed 9/21/20 - We tried to get a spot in Great Basin NP. Unfortunately, between COVID (everyone on the road), fires in CA (camping closed so people went East) and one of the NP tent campgrounds closed, we didn't get a site. Good think we had made a reservation at Whispering Elms as a backup as they, too, were full. Not a lot of choices in the area.
The campground is pretty much gravel and sand. They have some trees. They have full hook-ups. Wifi is very spotty. Some sites have picnic tables but you pretty much look at the side of your neighbors' rig. There is a laundry room and showers which we did not use. It was quiet at night and, when the skies were clear of smoke, you could see lots of stars. They assign you spots when you arrive. There is a bar/restaurant open limited hours. Be sure to bring all your own supplies as Baker, NV has no real services and I am guessing that is the same under non-Covid circumstances.
It is very convenient to Great Basin NP and right across from one of the Visitors' Centers.
I would stay here again - if I had to.

Graveled park (hey this is Nevada not Florida) with some shade. Resturant/bar on property with limited hours. Wifi was “down” cell service was 3G good signal strength but only fair throughput. Couple managing the park were excellent. Showers and laundry were excellent. Plenty of new well running mChines.
