Basin campground is one of the best campgrounds. The Camp Hosts are so friendly and so helpful. The setting is beautiful by the Creek. The paved road through the campground is great for walking. It's quiet and peaceful and so beautiful. It's within 20 minutes of Red Lodge Montana. We love it there.
