Merry Widow Health Mine Camp operates as both a campground and radon health facility, drawing visitors to Basin for overnight stays and therapeutic mine visits. The property accommodates RVs up to 50 feet with full water and sewer hookups, plus walk-in tent sites. Coin-operated showers require quarters, and the facility allows pets throughout the grounds.
The mine itself functions as a quiet healing space where visitors soak in bathtubs, use foot buckets, or sit on benches to read and rest. Tables with puzzles and a respectful atmosphere cater to those using the radon exposure for health purposes. Children and loud conversations are discouraged inside the mine to maintain the therapeutic environment.
Site 28 sits directly on the river and offers more privacy than other spots. The campground attracts a mix of bicycle tourists, seasonal residents, and health-seeking visitors from various regions. Stormy G. noted the diverse community: "We had good conversations with people from all over."
The facility serves campers traveling through southwestern Montana, with camping destinations near Boulder providing additional options in the region. Standard campground amenities include picnic tables, restrooms, and a dump station, while WiFi keeps visitors connected during their stay.
