This is the only RV Park in the Great Bassing NP area. Family run business. Nice level sites. There are also a motel, cafe/bar, gas station, small store for some groceries, gifts, etc. We payed $20 + tax. The only disadvantage: no AT&T cell coverage here (don't know about others), but Wi-Fi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not bad at all. Pretty good all things considered. Remember this park makes 90% of it's revenue about 4 months out of the year so they don't have a lot of cash flow to re-invest in the property. It's clean, it's always freshly painted and very well maintained. Though perhaps a bit shopworn in spots, we can forgive that. The RV sites have a beautiful view of the Great Basin National Park and a clear shot to the Southern sky for us satellite TV junkies. 24 hour video/slot casino and bar and restaurant and store with basic groceries. Cafe Food is maybe C+ quality at best. Some very good, some just heated out of the can so you make that call. Located along what National Geographic Magazine called the loneliest strip of highway in the USA. They have WiFi which is essential because their is no cell service or other wireless internet service what-so-ever. Slot machines are the tightest we've ever seen anyplace. ATM works maybe from 8AM to perhaps late evening midnight. Only ATM we know of in the entire Baker Nevada area. Employees are always friendly, though sometimes tired from working graveyard and double shifts, so we can forgive that too. Locals do visit the bar and cafe with their dogs, and be warned though friendly, don't reach out to pet their dogs, no matter how canine savvy you may think you are. Ignore the dogs and you'll be fine. You've been warned. The Border Inn won't let you down. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is probably the only place to stay if you have a 40 foot 5th wheel and are visiting Great Basin National Park. Sad, as it is also an overnight parking spot for road equipment and trucks that leave their trucks running all night, and as any RVer knows is not conducive to a good nights sleep! I asked about the truck noise and was basically given a shoulder shrug as an answer! We did not even use the restaurant as the cigarette smoke from the casino permeates the whole building! The casino has some really strange people and noise at times and no one seems to care about any inconvenience it causes for the RV patrons right out back! Great Basin is an awesome place to visit, but bring a smaller rig and get in to the Basin park to camp! There is absolutely nothing in this area for many many miles! This place is also a place where everyone just stops to let their dogs do their business anyplace and no clean-up policy is enforced. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a nice little campground for an overnight camp. It is a family run campground with a nice cafe, small "store", and a small casino/bar. Each site had electricity, water, and sewer. It was very hot, but then it is in the desert. The site was gravel and level. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Border Inn RV Park is a good place to stay while visiting Great Basin National Park. After driving hundreds of miles to stay in Lower Lehman Campground and finding all sites occupied and then giving up at Baker Creek during a flash flood and lightning storm, the Border Inn RV Park was a welcome site. It is nothing fancy but provides level sites with full hookups just inside the Utah/Nevada border. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice big sites, plenty of room on the sides. All gravel area with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. But just the basics, full hookups. I did have wifi (a little weak). No Verizon or ATT service. 60 miles (Ely)to the nearest real grocery store so stock up before spending any time here. Great Basin NP the only reason to spend more than overnight here but the park is well worth a few days. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV Park is in the middle of nowhere but it works just fine to visit Great Basin National Park and Lehman Caves. Quite a few permanent tenants, but they were not a problem. The RV Park is behind the Motel/Restaurant/Gas Station. All pull-thrus, all 50/30 Amp, all with sewer and water. We had no problem pulling in with our 40' Motorhome with four slides and a tow dolley that we left hook-ed up. There is plenty of room, length and width. They have about six TV stations which come in pretty clear. They don't advertise wi-fi but we had it for the 2 nights we were here. This park is only 13 miles to the Great Basin National Park and Lehman Caves. The caves are a must if you come through here. All in all this park served the purpose for a two night stay to visit the caves and come home to full hook-ups, TV and wi-fi. We were in space 2 up by the office and had wi-fi. I don't know if the whole park has it. They also had a few slot machines in the restaurant if you want to try your luck. A couple of reasons why this is not a 10. No pool, no cable, and the live-ins were driving fast through the park which would kick up dust and make noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Isn't it amazing how a rating can change overnight ? I have been stopping at the Border Inn for years now, and it has always been a pleasant experience. I stopped there in June on my yearly bike trip again. I first had a clue when I attempted to fill my bike with gas, something I do before turning in for the night. The pump would not accept my charge card; it kept telling me to see the cashier. I went inside where I was dealt with by a bunch of teenage girls who were apparently left in charge, (this had never been the case in the past). There were a bunch of teenage boys sitting, drinking, at the bar. None looked old enough to be drinking, but they were very obviously the teenage girls' boyfriends. The girl told me they had to "hold" my credit card while I filled up with gas. I asked why ? She told me it was because too many people drive off without paying. I asked how that was possible after scanning the credit card at the pump? She was without an answer to that. Seeing this for what it was, I took my card from her and payed cash for my gas. Before renting an RV spot for the night, I decided to at least check the place out a bit. I walked back to the bathrooms for the RV park and found they were using them for the bar and casino also. The shower rooms were filled with Indian kids playing in the showers with a bicycle, and they had urinated all over the toilet seats, etc. Needless to say I moved on to Ely for the night. It's a darned shame that when the older generation gives it up to the younger one, things begin to change, and not always for the better. I give it a one, just because there isn't a zero. Hang on to your personal information when buying something there. I suggest cash only ! Too bad, it was always a nice place. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This little park is located right on the Utah/Nevada line, just inside Nevada. They have a restaurant, small store where necessities can be purchased, and, of course, the RV Park. There appear to be a few full timers here. Spots are pull through, level, and dirt with nice flower plantings between each site. Clean, quiet and perfect for an overnight stay, which appeared to be what it was being used for by numerous guests who came in late, and left early. Great sunsets! Nothing fancy. Good 50amp service! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground is located on the Nevada/Utah border along US 50, 6+ miles East of Baker, Nevada and Great Basin Nat'l Park. CG is part of the Border Inn Restaurant and Motel. Typical for that part of the country, landscaping is minimal, CG is crushed gravel with mostly level sites. Noted minimal voltage drop with both A/Cs running. Good for an overnighter or longer if you're planning on visiting Great Basin Nat'l Park and searching for a home base. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have to apologize, I don't usually forget to do a rating, so here goes. The border inn is sort of a jewel in the rough. One of those places you just sort of stumble onto. I came through years ago on a motorcycle and stopped for gas. I had the best dinner i have ever had at any cafe, anywhere. I decided to stay the night in the sparcs, but sort of cool little motel, (30 bucks). No t.v. but the sky out in the desert is awesome. Then as time went on, i spent many nights here. One year i stopped to get gas, and lo and behold they had added an r.v. park. Yep, like everything else its pretty plain jane, but where in the heck else can you stay for $18.00, get gas that hasn't been marked up, a really good meal, and an awsome sky to look at at night? I very highly reccomend a night here before the world discovers it and it's too crowded. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This could be a nice campground if you didn't have to worry about finding a site after driving hundreds of miles. It is a first come first serve campground with no reservations. We arrived around 2:00 pm midweek and all the sites were full. We attempted to camp in Baker Creek which is accessible by dirt road and it does have some pull through sites. However, what was left was too difficult to level our 30' 5th wheel with slide out so be aware. We also tried to set up in the midst of a cloudburst and lightning storm with lightning strikes frighteningly close. Also be aware of the altitude climb both into Great Basin and further into either Lower Lehman or Baker Creek; it is very steep. We ended up at the Borden Inn RV Park. We will return if this campground goes on the reservation system. Lehman Caves was worth the hassle! WE DID NOT STAY AT THIS PARK. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was one of the nicest campgrounds we have ever stayed in. With our Golden Age pass it was $3.00 per night and what a bargain. We had no trouble getting our 35' fifth wheel in and chose a back in site with the stream right in our "backyard", there are several pull through sites available also. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit and the sites are nicely spaced apart. It was quiet and peaceful. We got there about noon and the campground was full by 3:00. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Overall a very nice campground (it's not an RV park) considering the remote location and elevation (7,300 feet). Interior road and sites are asphalt paved and are spaced apart adequately. Cold water spigots seemed to be located everywhere throughout the campground with lots of pressure. As a previous reviewer mentioned, many of the sites are extremely unlevel in two directions... especially the back-in sites. This is easily dealt with if you bring your leveling devices and you have adequate wheel chocks to keep your ring from rolling away. Each site features a large picnic table and a fire ring. This is a first-come-first-served campground and reservations are not accepted. We arrived about 2:30pm on a Monday afternoon, only two campsites were open, and only one of the two could possibly accommodate our 28 foot long travel trailer. But it turned out to be a nice spot (site 11). I would not recommend this campground for any RV over 35 feet long, and even then you'll find only a handful of site which can accommodate that sized RV. If you find this campground full, the nearest one (accessible by pavement) is the Upper Lehman Creek Campground a few miles further up the road and higher in elevation. See my review of the Upper Lehman Creek Campground for more details. A dump station with potable water is located a few miles away toward the park visitor center and can be used for $5.00. Another dump station with potable water is also available for $5.00 in nearby Baker, NV located alongside the self-service fuel pumps at the south end of town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Eleven sites in this campground, 6 are pull-thrus big enough for larger RV's and all were fine for our 30 ft class A. About half the sites are along Lehman Creek. Most sites are fairly to extremely sloped. No hook-ups, no showers, pit toilets, but the roaring creek (the area saw much higher than normal snowfall this year so runoff is higher) that ran just beyond our awning more than made up for any shortage of amenities. Lehman Cave tour was worth doing. Hiking at the time was a little difficult as many trails were very wet or cut-off by swollen streams due to the extra rain/snow that season; flowers and grasses were beautiful. Would like to go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are only two campgrounds in Great Basin NP. We chose this campground because it has trees, 50 amp, and is less than ¼ mile to the Great Basin Visitor Center and 5 miles to Lehman Caves and Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive. We were able to get satellite reception on site 18 regardless of the height and number of trees in the campground. The negatives are NO cell phone reception; campground is not well maintained and consequently there are a lot of small gnats. We had to spray before we ate outside. There is a small motel and bar on the premises which are maintained a little better than the campground. Regardless, we felt safe here. It’s small and quiet; office is open from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Make sure that you have enough food for your stay because there is nothing here – no restaurant or grocery store in the area. There is a gas station nearby that has diesel and is open 24/7 – self-service and credit card only. It was fine for 2 nights. I wouldn’t recommend a longer stay. There is nothing here but the NP. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is the only game in town if you want hookups. The free Wi-Fi at your site is a godsend since there is no cell service in Baker. You can drive about 5 miles away to get a signal on your phone. I stayed very early in the season and only a few others came and went during my 3 night stay. Much of the National Park was still closed due to snow. The young man who checked me in at the bar at 4pm was very nice and friendly. I'm not sure if the prior owners have retired or were out of town. Baker is quite an unusual town whose store does not open until 4pm in the spring. The park is a little funky and there really isnt a road in the park, you just drive up to your hookups. But for a big rig needing hookups, this place is an oasis at Great Basin. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A reservation here is almost essential. Nice folks. Kind of a bootleg-in-a-backyard RV park, but that's OK, it ALL works well. Clean, well maintained, very secure, very local and handy to all. Nice full bar with ALL sports on TV, may open 4PM, may not open at all. Owner is a dead ringer for the late newsman Charles Kuralt in looks and voice, and an NFL fanatic. Worth a visit just to check him out. His wife is sweet as sugar. Short walk to a bakery and a small grocery store, and several other very friendly bars. Most the business including the Whispering Elms, make 90% of their income in about 4 short months, so one can't expect them to re-invest a lot of cash back into the park. So with that in mind, you can't go wrong here. A little tricky driving around the trees and poles to get to your spot, patience and a spotter or the RV park owner will gladly guide you in and out. Large, roomy spots, somewhat level gravel and dirt. Not too far out of whack. So shady you can forget Satellite reception, it's not going to happen. Some motel rooms next to the RV sites, often full of Euro visitors visiting the Great Basin Park. 24 hour, unmanned/self serve gasoline and diesel pumps located about 1/8 mile down the main drag, and also on Hi 50 at the Casino. If you encounter locals, don't reach out to pet their dogs. They will bite you. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

It's hard to review parks in NV as there are areas where you take what you can get with a large travel trailer. This park was nice as it was less than 1/2 mile to Great Basin Visitor center and less than 5 miles to the Cave Tour - a must see if you visit the park. There are some really cool looking campgrounds up in the park which made me wish our camper was smaller. However, it's not, and this national park does not offer full hook ups. There is another RV park a little way down the road called Border RV Park. It is in the middle of a huge basin with no trees. The park we stayed at had lots of shade - just an FYI if your trying to decide what to do. W.E. Campground is only a couple miles off of Hwy 50 and self serve gas is 1/2 mile from the campground in Baker We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I have to say that this park was a Godsend as we had planned on camping up at Great Basin National Park and were skunked-out (no reservations up there) so relied on Whispering Elms. It was very old and basic, but did what we needed: gave us a place to stay while we explored the National Park. BTW, while driving up to the National Park be sure and notice all the clever decor against all the fence lines. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very old park with a motel included. The sites were shady and graveled with some grass and a picnic table. We were able to get our 35' fifth wheel in as the sites are pull throughs. For thirty dollars it does not offer much more than a place to park for the night with hook ups. The sewer plugged up when we attempted to empty our tanks. We did not know how close we were to Great Basin National Park campgrounds or we would not have stayed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is across the road from one of the Great Basin National Park Visitor Centers and just a few miles from the Visitor Center at Lehman Caves. The park has many trees with a lot of bird life, the hosts were friendly, and was very quiet. This park seems to be "undiscovered" as there was only one other rig in the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
