Likely — The record is good enough to put a pin on, but thin in places. Treat the details as a starting point, not gospel.
How it was placed
Great Basin National Park, developed campground on Baker Creek Road. Great Basin NP fee page (nps.gov/grba/planyourvisit/fees.htm, read 2026-08-17): "All developed campgrounds in the park have a $20 per night fee." Same page: "An entrance pass is not required to access Great Basin National Park." Camping page (nps.gov/grba/planyourvisit/camping.htm): "Primitive campsites at Great Basin National Park are free but do not have water." STAY LIMIT: "The maximum continuous stay limit at any campsite is 14 days" (nps.gov/grba/planyourvisit/primitive-campgrounds.htm and nps.gov/grba/planyourvisit/backcountry-camping.htm, read 2026-08-17). SEASONAL: the park says "Some campgrounds are closed seasonally due to weather" -- check nps.gov/grba current conditions before driving. WATER: the park's own campgrounds page says "Potable water is not available." PERMIT NOTE: the park requires a free but mandatory backcountry registration permit "for the Baker Creek trailhead to Baker Lake, past Johnson Lake, and down to the Snake Creek Drainage area of the park" -- that applies to backcountry trips from here, not to the campground itself. NEAREST TOWN: Baker, NV. Coordinate is the NPS Public POIs pin. SOURCE: https://www.nps.gov/grba/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htm | auto:agency-trust 2026-08-18: state agency GIS record with a source URL and coordinates, confidence not low. Fee value is the agency's own, not field-checked. Not field-verified -- confirm access, road conditions and fire rules before you go.

What we don’t know about Baker Creek Campground
A land record can put you within a few meters of a spot. It cannot tell you any of this — so check it yourself, and treat anything below as the open question it is.
- Road surface & last-mile access
- How many rigs actually fit
- Cell coverage by carrier
- Seasonal & winter access
- Current fire restrictions
- Whether any water here is drinkable
- Shade & wind exposure
- Noise and who else shows up
- Whether a listed EV charger works today, or the road miles to it
