Bassam Guard Station

This place is great, really enjoyed our stay! With the exception of occasional dirt bikes quarter mile away, there is nobody around, you have absolute seclusion in nature. The cabin is great, rustic but relatively clean and comfortable, and the history makes it an amazing place. Utensils & pots/pans are very minimal, I suggest you bring your own. The pump is fun for kids, but definitely not drinkable unless you're filtering. There is room in the cabin to bring a couple cots and good spots outside to pitch a tent. The stars are awesome.

We really enjoyed our trip to Bassam Guard Station. We visited Buena Vista, St Elmo, Chalk Lake and Mt Princeton...what a day! The cabin was comfortable, though I’d recommend bringing your own cooking utensils and silverware, or be prepared to wash up! The fire pit and benches were wonderful...we started and ended the day around the fire. S’mores were the dessert of choice. There was plenty of firewood close by. The cabin does have a large propane tank, no need to take one (even though many of the previous comments state to bring propane).

We loved staying at this little cabin. We were able to make it to the nearby hot springs, and take a beautiful hike. Our son is 10 and it was good to get away from TV, media, etc. We will definitely make another visit.

We used this cabin for a hunting trip it worked out great.

It was a beautiful location, the only negative came from just a change in weather, it was a very cold night followed by the first snow of the season. The snow was beautiful, but the wood stove requires a lot of attention to keep it going throughout the night, or else a better operator. But the location and the history was great!
