Lakes Basin Campground

Lakes Basin Campground at 6,400 feet elevation offers 24 campsites (23 single, 1 double) plus a tent-only group site within the Lakes Basin Recreation Area, 9 miles southwest of Graeagle.

The campground provides vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site, with most sites accommodating RVs up to 26 feet (though some are tent-only).

Access to over 30 miles of maintained trails connects to nearby Gold Lake (which has a boat ramp for fishing and boating) and more than 20 alpine lakes, with the 1-mile Grassy Lakes Trail accessible directly from the campground; reservations are available through Recreation.

gov for peak season (late May-mid-October) at $36-$67/night, with dry camping allowed after mid-September.
