Awesome little spot outside Great Basin National Park. Level spots, great laundry shower and bathrooms. Plenty of room in space. Awesome hosts. There are two rv parks in town and this is a thousand times the right choice.

We had wanted to camp near to Great Basin National Park, but decided against trying for something in the part, as we did not want to boondock for that many days.

We had wanted to camp near to Great Basin National Park, but decided against trying for something in the part, as we did not want to boondock for that many days. The TINY town of Baker has two small RV parks, and Whispering Elms was our choice.
It is a facility that is far from glamorous. The grounds are mostly dirt and weeds and the worst part about staying here was indeed the dust that got kicked up everywhere. The sites are kind of close together, and there's nothing like picnic tables or really any kind of amenities to beautify the place. It is quite humble. The bathhouse was pretty rustic, BUT, everything worked great. Nice hot showers, regular cleanings, plenty of paper products. No complaints. The electric we used was clean. Water pressure was good. Hook ups were convenient and close to each other.
Service was nice. We mostly interacted with Dakota and Sam; both were friendly and helpful. No issues there. And please note, the building where you stop to check in is ALSO A BAR! With a respectable tap selection of Nevada beers, a beer case full of interesting beers and some unusual bar selections too. We hung out there a little bit three days, just sit at a table and chat and have some drink service. I was so surprised to find a bar here!
Great Basin is way off the beaten path; I'm not sure my travels will ever take me this way again. But if we do come this way, and want to stay near the park (5 miles from Whispering Elms to Lehman Caves visitor center; less than a mile to the regular visitor center), I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Just drive slow to avoid kicking up dust.

We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow. We stayed in site 24 for 2 days in early June. The CG is a bit rustic, and could use some maintenance, but does have 50A service with FHUs. The staff was friendly and helpful. It’s in a good location for visiting Great Basin NP and they do appear to be making some renovations, at least to the motel part. They also have 2 newly installed EV charging stations next to the motel.
AT&T coverage was good, with 4 bars of 5G and speeds up to 8 MB/s. We had access all 3 western DISH satellites and Starlink had speeds up to 11 MB/s.

Sites are kinda weird. You face your neighbors. We also had power issues. Restrooms were dirty with no paper.
Older park that needs some upkeep.
Right by the park which was a plus

Originally I had intended on staying in Great Basin Lower Lehman CG, but that was a no-go. Decided to drive to Baker, NV and found this nice spot. The hosts are very friendly people and immediately gave me a military discount on account of wearing my Navy hat. The facilities are decent. The park has good stable power, plenty of potable water and big open parking spaces. Sewage was an extra charge, if needed, but not a problem if staying short-term. I would recommend this RV park to anyone looking for something close to Great Basin.

We turned around and headed to Whispering Elms. It was 8:30pm and I was afraid we weren’t going to have a spot. I called the number posted and the host came out to get us logged in and even walked us to our site…in the snow while we drove behind her!!!
THAT IS HOSPITALITY!!!
They accommodated us knowing we wouldn’t be leaving until 3pm the next day. Thank you so much!!

I see so many negative reviews for this place because the park itself looks a little beat up. Our neighbor even canceled their reservation because of “weeds.” If you can look past that, you’ll have a wonderful experience.
The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Everything works - showers, laundry, hookups - so even if it’s not recently updated, the important thing is it works.
The highlights are proximity to the park, the on-sight bar where you can mingle with the staff, locals, and travelers, and the quiet, super dark star-speckled nights.
We love this place so much that my husband is considering workamping in Baker next
Season. We will be back.
