RV rental Great Basin National Park, NV: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

RV camping is one of the most convenient ways to experience everything Great Basin National Park has to offer. No matter what kind of outdoor adventure you’re craving, Great Basin offers a full itinerary of activities year-round. While you’re here, take some time to view the park’s bristlecone pines, the longest-living tree species in the world. A stump is all that remains of Prometheus, the park’s most legendary bristlecone pine which is more than 4,800 years old. Visitors are allowed to count the rings of Prometheus but are asked to respect the landscape and leave all pine wood undisturbed. Campers will have plenty of time to observe the majestic and diverse wildlife of the park. Pack your binoculars in your RV rental to watch for elk, badgers, kit foxes, and more. Tread carefully, though ⁠— coyotes, cougars, and bobcats also roam the park. Birdwatchers will have no shortage of species to spot, including hawks, bald eagles, and barn owls. A few short, self-guided hikes lead visitors to the park’s bristlecone pines and the only glacier in the state. Camping at Great Basin National Park is also a good opportunity to participate in the park’s ranger programs, including the astronomy program. The absence of light pollution allows campers to marvel at the enchanting beauty of the Milky Way and the starry night sky. When the snow starts to fall, Great Basin transforms into a wonderland for winter wanderers. Go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing on the groomed trails in the park. If you’re prepared for the challenge, you can even climb Wheeler’s Peak.
