We camp at Albion usually twice a year. The open season varies widely with snow and resort (Alta) construction. Depending on the campsite, there are varying degrees of peace and calm. Generally try to get something on the eastern side. Regardless it’s always on our list. Oh and the camp hosts make it very nice.

Great location. The view is fantastic and the camp host was the best. Hiking around the campground and up to Cecret Lake was the best. It was a very good experience and will go again.

Such an amazing beautiful place. Wildflowers were in full bloom. Easy to get there and was very quiet in the morning/during night. Only con was loud children in surrounding campsites but what can you do .

We love Albion Basin. Its one of the most beautiful and accessible spots to camp in Utah. We don't love that you have to book 6 months in advance to get a reservation.

Beautiful campground. Bugs were plentiful so make sure you bring spray. Camp hosts were kind and made sure bathrooms were well kept.
