Great little spot. It is close to a road, but it is not heavily trafficked. The river was great and perfect for my dog and rock hounding. It was also some of the cleanest facilities I've ever seen at any campground (camping spot, vault toilets, fire pits, etc.). Plenty of shade provided by trees. The hosts were wonderful. I would stay again!

An awesome campground! One of the best I've ever stayed in. Our site was right on the rushing river which added a peacefulness to the area. Sites are well spread out, shaded by big trees, and very flat. Bathrooms were clean and potable water available at pumps. Campground hosts were thoughtful and attentiveness but not intrusive. We had a great experience at Basin!!
