We got what we were told we would get. The place was clean and quiet. Hike was nice and we got just a light flurry of snow to make it just a little more memorable for us.

Wonderful spot for camping. Restrooms were clean as was campsite and NPS is to be commended.

some spots are challenging to level up with blocks, but for the most part an excellent campground and well maintained. Creek sounds at night are the best!

Very well cared for park!

Lovely, quiet campground. Our site was right next to the creek. Beautiful dark sky overhead at night. Campground was clean and trashcans and fire rings were available.

Sites are well spaced apart from other campers and have lots of shade. Had plenty of space for our roof top tent plus space for an additional tent. It was very quiet. There is a host on-site. We hope to return!

Wow. What an amazing park and camp site. We were in site #1 and could not have had a better place to camp! Tent camping, nice level dedicated spot for the tent. Close to a stream for peaceful sleeping background white noise. The bathrooms (vault) were a minute walk away and were clean. Driving up to wheeler peak and hiking is a must do and about a 20 minute drive from camp. The caves are cool as well and I'm glad we booked them in advance. We visited 7 national parks on our vacation and this was by far my favorite. I like that it is a less popular destination and no crowds! Highly recommended. There was even decent (2 bar) cell service at our camp site.

Great Basin was a nice surprise, and somewhere wed like to come back to and spend a bit more time.

Beautiful campground with secluded sites. We stayed at #1 and loved it! Easy access to the Lehman Cave and visitor center as well as hiking at the end of the Wheeler Peak scenic drive.

This is one of the nicest campgrounds to stay at. We were in Site 1 and it felt very private with a paved driveway that was easy to back our camper into. It was quite except for a wonderful babbling brook near by. Everything looked (and smelled) brand new and well maintained. Easy access to all the trails and the cave for our wonderful tour.This campground and Great Basin National Park are GREAT!!

Upper Lehman is an easily accessible and clean camp Campground about 5 min. up the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive. We stayed at Campsite #1 as we were tent camping. The site was very clean and well laid out with adequate shade (pine trees). There is currently no potable water but there are pit toilets, so bring your own water. The skies here are some of the darkest in the United States (Bortle Class 1), so if you are an interested stargazer, bring binoculars and you will be richly rewarded. If you are camping here, be sure to drive up to the Bristlecone Trail Loop area for a memorable hike or two to the Bristlecone Groves or Alpine Lakes (about 2-4 hrs. each, fairly easy).

Clean, quiet and beautiful!

Our third time up here, and it was stellar as usual. Campsites are clean and well-maintained, the bathrooms are immaculate, and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Falling asleep to the sounds of Lehman Creek rushing by is sublime.Only downside this time compared to my last visits: no water available onsite from the two hand pumps. Bring plenty of water if you plan on hiking!

The campground was clean and quiet, close to the water and only a short walk to the very clean pit toilets. It was easy to get to and had a good amount of space compared to others I've stayed at in the past.

A beautiful mountian park in an oasis of lower elevation desert. Trails are well maintained and the interpretations along the way are well written and detailed. Campground was well laid out, clean toilets and plenty of space between each. Amazing to see the Bristlecone Pines and to know they have been standing over the landscape for so many centuries. A resource we need to care for and perpetuate in the face of so many extinctions.
