Egan Basin Guard Station

The guard station cabin was great. Tons of firewood, the little wood stove kept us warm and the scenery was beautiful.

Have stayed here before in the past and was disappointed this time. Cabin needs maintenance that should have been addressed. Broken windows and lots of ants inside cabin. The gate at the bottom of the road has been taken down allowing access to atvs at all hours of day and middle of the night. The new outhouse is an upgrade but the cabin needs some tlc and the gate was a necessity that is sorely missed. Still will be back hoping for better.

What an amazing place to camp! The cabin was cozy and easy to keep warm on a chilly night. Bathrooms were clean and close by. Very quiet location to do some star gazing as well. I highly recommend staying here, you won't regret it. Local wildlife (squirrels) would come to visit in the mornings and with the gate to this location you are isolated and alone. We went hiking around the area and saw some beautiful forest. With no cell service, it gave our family time to connect and find fun in all kinds of other things to do.

There was no gate and so people on 4 wheelers would ride right up to the guard station. Broken glass was all over where people had built campfires. Too many intruders there. Very disappointed

The guard station is awesome. My family had a great time and the flowers were beautiful. A couple of things we would have done differently. If you are not in a truck, SUV or are pulling any kind of trailer, do not take the road from Utah. It is very rocky. The road from St charles is MUCH smoother. Also, don't forget your own toilet paper and bug spray. The bugs weren't unbearable, but bug repellant is a must. When we went, the guard station had a couple of brooms, firewood and an axe. Overall, my kids loved it!
