Upper Lehman Creek Campground in NV
National Park Service allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Upper Lehman Creek Campground sits at 7,500 feet elevation within a forest of pinyon, ponderosa pine, white fir, and aspen along the banks of Lehman Creek. Located three miles up the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive in Great Basin National Park, the campground offers paved parking spurs, picnic tables, campfire rings with grills, vault toilets, and a viewing platform over the trout-filled creek. It places visitors ten minutes from Lehman Caves and close to alpine trailheads in the Snake Range.
