Our family loves Basin! We have been going for quite a few years, but this last trip the bathrooms were horrendous. The garbage was always picked up and the floors always mopped, but there has to be a solution for the smell that got worse and worse over our week long stay.

Perfect.

This was my husband and my favorite campground to date. We are in our 60's and have been camping our whole lives. The smell of pine was wonderful. The sites are spaced far apart. The host couple were helpful and nice. Can't recommend it enough.

We fell in love with this campground. Each spot is nestled amongst the tall pines. There is a river that runs along one side of the campground. There are a couple hiking trails just down the road a mile or two. The camp is only a few minutes from the town of Red Lodge. The camp hosts, Rhonda and John, really went out of their way to make us feel like family. The only downside are the outhouses. They are cleaned really well, but they do not have the newer vented technology, so they are a bit smelly.

We love getting away and going to this campground. The Camp hosts are amazing. They are so friendly and very helpful when needed. There are so many good sites. We have our favorites. It is also just a short walk to the basin lake trail that has a nice water fall right at the base. The lake trail is a good 3.5-4 hours to do the trail to the lake and back. It was such a beautiful hike.

Great campground, power at the long, level and private sites. It was quiet and peaceful and even had water although they had removed the threads so hoses couldnt/t connect,
@JenniferH28313 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #4
The campground was extremely clean, the hosts were very friendly and helpful, and the location of the campground is great. We saw a mama moose and her babies both nights we were there.
@LisaR8773346 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #22
This is my go to campground! The hosts John and Ronda are the best! They are so helpful and friendly. They keep the campground and restrooms so clean. The river is beautiful and I always see at least one deer there. Lots of trees and shade make each campsite beautiful.

We really enjoyed our stay here. You could tell from the onset that the camp was well taken care of. The Vault toilets were very clean and had air fresheners in them as well. The host was very helpful about giving info about things to do in the area. Beautiful area and the Beartooth Highway is just a few minutes away.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
