It can be done two ways: One dedicated circuit can serve "one" entire
bathroom, lights, fans, outlets, etc. or one dedicated 20 amp circuit can
serve multiple bathroom receptacle outlets only, and the lights, fans, etc,
can be run on whatever lighting circuits are available

Correct. A dedicated 20 amp circuit can be used to wire the entire
bathroom, but only that bathroom. Of course, if you have things like a
Jacuzzi , etc, you may need additional circuits

I'm adding a new bathroom in the basement, and the spot where it is is
quite a far run from the service panel.

There are no existing circuits in that section of the basement that I
would want to add the light, exhaust fan, and GFCI to.

Is it within NEC guidelines to run a separate 20 amp circuit to the
bathroom, and run the light above the sink, the exhaust fa, and a GFCI
receptaple on the same circuit?

Thanks

The "loophole" for the code for baths is that the 20A circuit can
serve the outlets in more than one bath, but only the outlets, not the
lights or anything else. Just had this at my own house where we are
adding 1 1/2 baths. The 20A circuit feeds from the upstairs full bath
to the outlet in the 1/2 bath underneath it.

That is what I had heard... All electrical for a "single" bathroom,
outlet, light, fan, etc.

Cool thanks..
