Campground
Grey Cliffs Campground
Grey Cliffs Campground sits at the gateway to Great Basin's high desert. This is a quiet, no-frills developed campground with 16 sites split across three loops—13 reservable and built for tent camping in a sagebrush-and-sky setting. Expect vault toilets, no water hookups, and dark skies perfect for stargazing. Come prepared with water and firewood, and you'll find solitude among the desert shrubs and trailheads to Lehman Caves and Wheeler Peak.
