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!

do not like paying extra money out for my daughter to drive behind us to help us set up camp . my husband is handicapped and needed her help.it seems like the city of ALTA does not care about the needs of the handicapped. they only care about making money off people using a bad maintained road. they are not using money to fix the road!
