Ledgefork is one of my favorite places to camp. Site#27 is an inside site, so no access to any of the rivers. It has 3 spaces for medium to small tents. Our large tent did not quite fit, so we didn't pull it to it's full width. It contained a nice little area with trees to get shade and hang a hammock. Easy access to 2 bathrooms. None of the RVs near us ran their generators, which was lovely. There was a huge group with 5 cars taking up the 2 spots next to us and they were quiet and friendly. It was still quite cold in the middle of June-- got to 32 degrees one night.
We reserved site#2 for tent camping. There is not place to put a tent on that site that isn't on rocks. Also, we were swarmed by mosquitos the second we got out of the car. In the 2 minutes we were trying to figure out where to put a tent, we got bitten at least a dozen times. Site#2 wouldn't fit an RV either- terrible site. There are other huge sites and some really tiny sites. This is not a good campsite to pick a site without having been there. The photos do not tell the whole story. We drove back to Kamas to get cell coverage, called Recreation.gov and explained the issue with the site and they refunded our entire amount. There is no camp host in that campground to help. The bathrooms were ok at best.
Trial Lake is one of my favorite campgrounds. Elevation is 9500 feet, so be prepared for cold nights and quick change in weather. Once when we camped, it rained, hailed, was crazy windy, and sunny, all in the same weekend.
This year because of the snow and flooding, we were there mid-July and the campground had just opened. We've stayed in site#7(right on the water) and#1(a double site.) Site#1 is at the bottom of a big hill which really limited where we could put our tents. There are 2 10x10 tent pads, but one of our tents is 14x14, so we had to put it in the grass and sleep on an incline. The location of the site is literally right across the road from the lake. We would just walk across with our chairs and kayaks and enjoyed the day, but it also meant that other people were parking at our site or literally walking thru the middle of the site to get to the water(nothing to do with the campground, just people's bad manners.) The water was beautiful. The site itself had a ton of bugs and small worm like bugs were falling out of the trees over the picnic tables. I like the lake, but I wouldn't stay at site#1 again.
Basin Campground is very nice, however, it is incredibly difficult to tell what each site is like on ReserveAmerica.com. We were originally in site 4, which was so small our tent would not fit. We moved to site A, which is a first come, first served site and it was much better.
Kodachrome is a beautiful park. Very close to Bryce Canyon National Park, which quite honestly, is much more beautiful. Lots of hiking and even horseback riding available.
Restrooms are really, really nice. I'm used to pit toilets when I go camping. These had full bathrooms with really nice showers. It rained a lot while we were there and the bathrooms got very wet and muddy and were not cleaned regularly.
It is a very quiet park. Generators are only allowed from 12-4pm, which is great for tent campers, because we don't want to hear that crap.
There is no map on Recreation.gov, so you don't know where some of the sites are located. I've included a pic of a map I got from a book. We had sites 6 and 7 and they both backed up to the road, which is very loud. Site 7 is right on the water, so it was nice to hear the river during that night. However, the grass was incredibly overgrown. We had 2 tents and could barely fit them. The table had a huge burn mark on it. The fire pit was falling apart and had not been cleaned out. There were rocks by where you parked that had graffiti all over them. And, we weren't at the campsite for more than 2 minutes when the host pulled up and said we had to pay for the extra car -- that's fine, some hosts enforce that rule and others don't, I don't mind. Our friends in site 6 had the exact same experience. It was like the host was waiting for people to arrive to demand the extra money. HOWEVER, in the 3 days we camped there, he cleaned the bathrooms once! It was muddy and dirty and disgusting. The host is not onsite -- he was at a nearby campground. No way we are camping here again.
I really like the campground. Spots really vary in size. Pit toilets. Some spots right on the river. Some noise at night -- music and generators, but overall not bad. The reservoir is no wake and great. Not a lot of "beach" areas to sit around the edge of the water and they fill up quickly. Great kayaking.
