This was our first time camping at Basin. We decided to go a day early and spent the first night at a first come first serve site. The next two night were spent at the site we reserved along the river. It was beautiful. The camp hosts are friendly. The campground was clean.

Basin is always a solid bet. It was my very first camping experience (#19) with a Little Guy Rascal, and this was my third year.
Clean, well manicured, shaded and the bathrooms even had magazines to read. The camp hosts are friendly and keep an eye on things, but not so closely it was uncomfortable. This year, even though I have a bigger, contained camper and in #21(?), my buddy still trekked over to the bathrooms so he could finish reading an article :) .
Highly recommend!

Fill your water tank! Just because recdotgov says “water” doesn’t mean you can fill up there.
Also, be ready to “get away from it all” with everyone else!

The campsites are always clean. My neighbors are always friendly and quiet in the evenings. Beautiful scenery! We saw a spike buck in velvet! Fresh water from the water pump is always handy. The camp host helped me back up my trailer and made sure I had everything I needed. It’s always a great experience!
