Basin Creek Campground

away from much busier larger forest service campgrounds near redfish lake and along 75, as well as the "dirt lots" of dispersed camping... it's an old forest service campground that is no longer... which means no camp host, firewood, and FREE. in the past, the area has flooded (2006?) and burned (more recently), so proceed with caution. there's only a few sites (6?) but you'll get a picnic table, metal fire ring, and an outhouse near sites 3-6. basin creek road is a bit scary in the dark because it runs along a cliff above a river, but doesn't seem to need 4x4 or high clearance (aug 2020). i loved sleeping next to the creek and having a lot more privacy and beauty!

Very pretty but had extremely bad wind every day. (This tent had stakes with rocks on the stakes)

Nice spot. The campsites are far enough from the highway to be very quiet. Hunters and others often camp here. Vault toilet still accessible (November 2021). Picnic table and fire ring at each site.

Pricey, but convenient location.
