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 mile 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 mile 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.
