Great location! The campground is surrounded by trees and gorgeous views of the mountains, and campsites were decently spaced apart to allow for privacy and peace and quiet. It was somewhat difficult to get comfortable at night though because the tent pad was sloped, and there was lot of light pollution from Salt Lake coming over the mountains.

Amazing campground, a must stay.

We loved camping here! There were many fun activities to keep us busy during our trip, like hiking and animal watching. The site was well maintained and the neighbors and camp hosts were friendly! There was lots of good firewood, and also lots of mosquitos.

Albion basin our most favorite campsite! I feel like were in the Swiss Alps! Always a highlight!

World class alpine campground. Perfect in every way.

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 its 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 .
@RachelleCD3379 · Camped on Jul 19, 2024 at Campsite #22
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.
@RyanH4459660 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #22
Beautiful campground. Bugs were plentiful so make sure you bring spray. Camp hosts were kind and made sure bathrooms were well kept.

Great spot. Awesome views of the ski resort. Close to trailhead. Some construction was happening when we stayed there, not sure how long itll be happening

We had the most amazing time camping here! The night we got in, we saw a momma moose right alongside the road as we were driving in, and she has her baby with her. It was amazing!! We hiked Cecret Lake, which is a "must" if you stay in this area. Just watch the trail closely once the switchbacks start or you will wind up on a pretty sketchy trail. =)
@AndrewW8618299 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #5
The campground was excellent. The views are spectacular. The area is all around beautiful. The only negative of this campground is the proximity to the cecret lake hiking trail. We had people hiking through all night long including a group that came through at 1 AM talking very loudly with no respect to the campers.

Camping at Albion Basin was excellent. The campground is kept in excellent condition by the hosts; the bathrooms are clean and well-cared for. I enjoyed hiking on many of the near-by trails and enjoying wildflowers, boulders, and small streams that were prevalent due to the considerable winter snow. The hosts take good care of the campground and make everyone feel welcome. Thank you!

Very well-kept campground. Excellent location in the heart of Alta, Utah. Abundant hiking trails and a nearby lake.
@KathyNEEA97763 · Camped on Aug 5, 2023 at Campsite #2
Very nice. Nice camp host.

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!

Too expensive
@OliviaD4319211 · Camped on Sep 5, 2022 at Campsite #26
Super peaceful place with lots of lovely hiking nearby!
@sharonN4695179 · Camped on Aug 29, 2022 at Campsite #5
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!
@FrankL5882017 · Camped on Aug 28, 2022 at Campsite #10
Large campsites, spread out through the trees. The campground host was very helpful. Facilities were well maintained.
@BobH2675616 · Camped on Aug 27, 2022 at Campsite #14
Great camp hosts!
@StelaZ7813216 · Camped on Aug 23, 2022 at Campsite #23
What a gem of a camp! We only spent 1 night there traveling from Moab to Yellowstone, but it was out favorite camp site. It is well cared for, and well maintained, spacious camp sites. Beautiful hikes from the camp site, Cecret lake is a must ... We would definitely return for more days next time )!!!

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!!!
