This is a beautiful campground! The sites are private (mostly… Some are closer/more open than others). Site 12 was a nice site, set back from the road with room for two tents and lots of privacy. I could hear owls hooting at night and elk bugling in the morning. it was fantastic! During daytime hours there's a lot of road noise, but it dies down significantly at night and was super quiet until about 6:00 a.m. There is still no water available and the pit toilets are closed. They have Honey buckets to use however. I only gave it 4 stars because $29/ night is pretty steep for a campground with no water and port-a-potties.

I enjoyed camping here, but there were a lot of people close together.  What I loved: picking fruit in the orchard, ranger talks and flush toilets. What I didn't love: setting up a tent in 30 mph winds, blowing dirt, close range neighbors who feel the need to shout all their words from 6 am to 11 pm. If you want that National Park experience, this is a great place, but should you be unlucky enough to land next to an obnoxious group there is no buffer.

This campground is small but there seemed to be plenty of space between sites. It felt quite private and was such a nice sanctuary from the National Park crowds. I reserved site two. It was quite nice with room for one tent. Some sites were much larger, while others were pretty small and probably better for van campers. Get there early enough and you should have some options. Flush toilets and water were a nice benefit.

This was the first developed campground I ever stayed at and I was very nervous about noise and privacy. All of those worries faded away as I drove into Basin campground. It is perfect. I barely noticed my neighbors and wanted for nothing. Amazing showers, clean flush toilets and sinks with running water, a dishwashing station and drinking water located throughout the campground. Worth every penny. The sites off the main road are perfect for big rigs, while the sites further in were perfect for tents and van campers.

I loved this campground. It is off the beaten path, but easily accessible in any car (no trailers though!). The sites are mostly private although some are closer than others. The pit toilet was clean and each site had a fire pit and picnic table. The raised tent pads were big enough for most personal tents. A few of us had vestibules that overhung the pad, but we all managed to make it work. It is near water so there were bugs, but nothing you can't handle with a little common sense and preparation. I would stay again in a heartbeat. I did not see any drinking water available… unless you want to filter the creek water.

I reserved site 16, which is described on the Park's website like this: 

"Dirt area will accommodate 1 12x12, 1 12x15 and 1 10x12 tent.

Morning shade over table, evening shade over the driveway.

Popular site."

The site was nothing as described. They have clearly been upgrading the service road that borders the site  and the construction has had a major impact on this site, which people should be aware of. With room for 3 large tents, I thought this site would have plenty of room for my one tent. I was incredibly upset when I arrived and found the entire site (with the exception of the concrete picnic table pad) is a slope down to the service road. One of the flat areas pictured on the Park's reservation site was covered in some sort of construction debris or a large pile of dirt/mulch. There was nowhere flat to pitch a tent except MAYBE at the bottom section which borders the service road. I stood there in disbelief as  I watched a front-end loader and other service trucks rumbled up and down the service road and couldn't imagine pitching my tent a few feet from all that noise. I paid $58 for two nights and was beyond upset to find a campsite with no place to camp.
