Wheeler Peak Campground, Mountain campground in Great Basin National Park, Nevada
Wheeler Peak Campground contains 37 individual sites situated at 10,000 feet elevation, surrounded by dense forests and mountain landscapes of Great Basin National Park.
The campground serves as a starting point to explore ancient bristlecone pine groves, which include trees that have existed for more than 4,000 years.
The location provides opportunities to observe natural phenomena, including clear night skies that allow excellent astronomy viewing without interference from city lights.
The campground accepts reservations 30 days in advance from June through September, offering basic amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets.
Vehicle length restrictions limit access to 24 feet or less due to the narrow mountain roads leading to this high-altitude camping destination.
