The reservation process, campground and campsite were all fine, and would use them again.
However, the camp host did not manage the campground well. There were generators running all night. Food containers and cooking equipment were not stored at night in grizzly country. We had a pickup camper and did not leave anything at our site after the first night. When we got back to our site for the second night there was an open sign on our site, fortunately no one else had claimed our site.

Basin campground is a great place to go when you are trying to introduce little kids to the outdoors. It is close enough to Red Lodge and if anything goes wrong resources are minutes away. At the same time you are surrounded by opportunities for recreation to fit every experience level, from fishing at Wild Bill lake to tackling some of the more challenging trails. The campsite was clean and well maintained with some of the nicest camping facilities I have seen in a long time. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful and made it a very pleasant experience. Overall this is a great spot that we will be revisiting in the future

Great campground within easy driving distance. Repeat visitors. No cell phone coverage for Verizon, too many hills in the way. That is a good thing!
