I love going to Albion Basin yearly because it is quiet and peaceful. I was happy to get in since we went up late this year, and normally there are no vacancies. The vaulted toilets are as clean as can be expected for bomb drops. The host has been the same for as long as I have been going there (8 years). She cares about the campground and campers and is always friendly and helpful! I live in Sandy, but I go to Albion Basin to get away, while I continue to work during the day. I do take a couple of days to go on some of the beautiful hikes, Cecret Lake is my favorite place, and when I go early, I am the only one at the lake for a good 20-30 minutes. I will continue to go every year!

Camping at Albion Basin was excellent. The campground is kept in excellent condition by the hosts; the bathrooms are clean and well-cared for. I enjoyed hiking on many of the near-by trails and enjoying wildflowers, boulders, and small streams that were prevalent due to the considerable winter snow. The hosts take good care of the campground and make everyone feel welcome. Thank you!
