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.

The bathrooms were tidy. Our plot was spacious. The host was friendly, attentive and helpful. We especially liked being right next to the river.

This is a great campsite and the host was very accommodating. Just outside of Red Lodge, off the grid, no services.

Camp host is doing a great job of keeping the camp clean. The restrooms were also clean and well stocked. The hike to Basin Lake 1 is a moderately difficult trip but worth it. A mere 1/4 mi up the trail is a lovely waterfall. Haven't been to 2. The Silver Run trail is less challenging however every bit as beautiful. From the Basin trail lot you can hike a 1, 2, or 3 mi loop, the trail offering cut-acrosses from the trail following the base of the mountain to the trail paralleling Rock Creek.

The only negative comment I have is that one of the water pumps was out of service. The camp hostess kept things very clean and was extremely helpful and friendly.
