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!

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 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.

Great place to hike, fish, and/or relax. Moose frequent the area adding to the charm. Camping during the week is best as Basin is very popular and can get crowded on the weekends.
The area does show a lot of use (and abuse) as many of the trees show scars from morons who feel they must carve the tree bark and strip branches. Please help protect and save our valuable natural resource!
