Basin Montana Campground is a well-maintained, peaceful retreat, ideal for escaping daily life with its clean facilities and friendly camp hosts, John and Rhonda. Guests appreciate the beautiful surroundings, ample shade, and proximity to hiking trails and Rock Creek, making it a favorite spot for families and repeat visitors. While some noise issues from generators and occasional odors in the bathrooms were noted, the overall experience remains positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

There's a better camp up the dirt road about 2 mi on the right.

The campground is beautiful, a typical National Forest campground in the pines, surrounded by mountains. Campsite #19, however, is not so good. We have a 25' camper, bumper to hitch, and while we had plenty of room for the camper and tow vehicle, the picnic table and fire pit were on the WRONG SIDE! So we had to walk around our camper to access the campsite. We have never encountered that situation. Also, the actual site for the trailer was built up with some sort of small rocks and dirt mix. So once we exited the camper it was all downhill and the mix they used to build up the pad was very slippery, as the rocks and dirt would slide under your feet. Not only did I slip on it but the camp host also did, as well as some visiting fellow campers! This is treacherous footing for anyone not exactly agile or even aware of the problem. And forget it if you have your hands full carrying food, etc. out to the picnic table! Someone needs to put in some steps, either with landscape timbers or large flat rocks.

Great campground. Clean, spacious, quiet, and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Fire pit, picnic table, and food lockers at each camp site. Very close to hiking trails and a small fishing lake with easy access.

The camp host couple Rhonda and John was the best. They helped me to be able to stay at the campsite for 3 nights instead of having to move spots. They took very good care of me. I am looking forward to seeing them again for my reservation over Labor Day Weekend!

I love this place:) definitely coming back! Quite and super friendly staff. Small but perfect! Mountains are beautiful and they’re really cool river. I was only here for one day so missed out all hiking. So recommend you see the lake. Apparently there’s moose around in the morning! Driving there is like being in lord of rings movie:)

The campground is always clean. I like the new process that is in place where the camp host comes and introduces themselves and gives you a sticker for your vehicle. Very nice touch and the hosts have been wonderful
