Overview

This is the park’s RV sanitary dump station—an in-and-out utility stop near the Lehman Caves Visitor Center. It’s the spot to empty tanks, top off potable water, and toss trash before or after your stay.

What to Know

  • Located about half a mile inside the park along the main entrance road (NV-488), close to the visitor center.
  • Services include a sewer dump, potable water, and trash receptacles.
  • No overnight parking or camping is allowed here, and no reservations are needed or accepted.
  • Restrooms are not listed at the dump station itself; use the facilities at the nearby visitor center.
  • There are no hookups anywhere in the park, so most RVers rely on this station during their visit.

Season and Fees

  • Typically open late May through October, depending on weather.
  • The fee is $10 per use; discounts do not apply to this fee.

Best Time to Visit

There are no posted hours in the research, but your safest bet is to use it during the regular operating season (late spring through fall). If you’re visiting in the shoulder seasons, verify status before you roll in.

Nearby and Alternatives

  • Lower Lehman Creek Campground can be open in winter, but the dump station is seasonal—plan accordingly if you’re camping off-season.
  • If the park dump is closed, a traveler-reported alternate paid dump is at the state line along US‑50 (near the Phillips 66).

Pros

  • Convenient location about 0.5 mile inside the park on NV-488
  • Potable water and trash receptacles available

Cons

  • Seasonal; typically open late May–October, weather permitting

Tips

  • Budget for the $10 use fee—there’s no Senior/Access Pass discount.
  • Verify seasonal status; it’s typically open late May to October.
  • Top off potable water here, especially if campground spigots are off.
  • Use the Lehman Caves Visitor Center restrooms if you need facilities.
  • If it’s closed, an alternate paid dump is reported at the state line on US‑50.
