Visit the Recreation.gov website to reserve a tour or campsite.Some recreational activities in the park require permits; for others registration is recommended. Information on permits required for research, filming, photography, or other business-related topics can be found on our Doing Business With The Park page. Backcountry CampingRegistration for backcountry camping is voluntary at Great Basin National Park, but it is free and strongly recommended. Registration not only allows the park to monitor backcountry use, but also provides critical information in the event of an emergency. Stop at a visitor center to register and obtain a copy of backcountry camping regulations. Find more Information on our Hiking and Backpacking page.
