Lovely campground. Weather can be unpredictable but it's worth it.

I love this location, it is one of my favorite places to camp. The campground infrastructure has seen better days, though. Many of the picnic tables are in bad shape. About 3 inches between the table and seat on one end, 3 feet on the other. The bench about 7" off the ground. The once level tent spots have all been washed out, and are far from flat. Being buried in 500" of snow all winter helps explain the situation, but it has been many years without any attention paid to these things ( I know, I have camped here every year for a decade). The fees charged to stay here aren't small, please show a little love to the sites you're charging us for!
Thanks!!

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.

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.

Camp host was more than amazing! So helpful and friendly! The mosquitoes on the other hand were ruthless.

Albion Basin is a lovely place to camp. It's high alpine views and hiking trails are amazing. We planned to stay 2 nights, but left in the afternoon of the second day as a huge thundershower moved in. I think the entire campground emptied out.
