This campground is so quite and quaint. We had site 18, it was very spacious, and clean. The bathrooms were also very clean and they leave a candle going so that it always smells good. The fresh spring water is also a plus!

From the start it was a warm welcoming from check in to check out it was a smooth running job. The hosts were very warm hearted and kind we had some trouble shooting the first night but Rae (the campsite host) was there with a helping hand and a warm smile. The site is beautiful, the hike is refreshing and the restrooms are very clean. I had no issues taking my children to use the restroom. The campground is always clean. The hosts will go around and make sure you are at home. Definitely recommend and will definitely go back.

Beautiful campground and setting! Pine trees all around and a little stream that ran right by our camp. We loved it!

We ski at Alta frequently during the winter and enjoy camping at Albion Basin in the summer. It is great to be able to stay at the campground right where we ski in the winter.

The attendants were so super helpful, kind, and curious! Helped us haul firewood in the golf cart, and helped us with electricity for our air pump! We will be back for sure! Thank You.

Very nice, large campsites spread out further apart than at some other campgrounds. Beautiful wildflowers and hiking trails. Sites including fire pits, tent sites and restrooms were very clean and well maintained and camp host was friendly and helpful. Overall a wonderful experience, would do again!
