We love Albion basin but were unable to get there during this reservation because of a mud slide closing the road in the canyon. Our reservation fees were kindly refunded.

Beautiful area, well-kept camping grounds. We enjoyed hiking to Cecret Lake, although it was a much shorter and easier hike than we were expected. Would definitely come back to camp here.
