First time camping outside of an organized event. I went with a friend and we had a blast! Basin Campground is simple, but it has everything we hoped for, including a flat campsite, cooker, wood for sale, toilets (which worked fine), running water, beautiful!!!!!!!! pond, and other stuff we didn't get to, like nearby hiking trails and swimming. I did try the trail around the pond, but left it when I thought I had lost it. It had gone uphill to avoid the muddy swamp I ended up in. Our camp site was quiet except for a neighbor's soft music, but they turned it off at 10:00, per rules. We preferred the crickets, and they chirped all night.

I stayed at several campgrounds during my visit to White Mountain National Forest. I was most looking forward to Basin Campground. The pond was breathtaking but my least favorite camping experience. I had 3 different bug repellants and a week later Im still in agony from mosquito bites. The mosquitos were vicious and not deterred. If youre on the pond side, you have to hike uphill to the restrooms while being swarmed by mosquitos. One positive: the campground is very quiet during weekdays. Except a busload of camp kids arrived halfway through my stay. I wasnt aware that this campground hosted groups so it was very confusing and annoying to hear summer camp instructors yelling all day.

This is my 3rd year camping here. I love that it’s a small campground and love the location. The caretakers are very friendly and approachable. Apparently, the folks that are usually there had to leave and a very nice gentleman from the adjacent campground was checking on things. He had a lot on his plate with 2 campgrounds, abundant rain and no working bathrooms at the Basin Campground. The bathrooms have always seemed “on the fritz” and tend to not flush very well. I’m curious why there are no outhouses here, seems that would be a simpler solution. We made the best of it though and will be back.

Wonderful campground. Well maintained sites. Easily accessible potable water. Quiet. We stayed in early July and liked it so much we returned a few weeks later. Lots of great hiking trails (challenging and family-friendly) and swimming holes close by! Excited to return next year.
