We had a wonderful time at Gold Basin, our favorite campground! We love all the trees and privacy this campground has. Lots of time to play in the river and relaxing on the beach. We love to walk around the campground and it's great for kids with bikes too. The facilities are kept so clean and even the smoke did not cause a problem. Birt & Bill the campground hosts are so very kind and welcoming! We can't wait until next May when we'll be back!

We had a great time even with all the smoke in the air camp sites were clean!

We loved spending the weekend at Gold Basin campground. The river is a great feature and lots of privacy at the sites. Granite Falls is about 20 minutes away, the perfect distance to make a quick trip. Lots of hiking very close by. Plan to go back next summer!

Great campground. Sites are spread out nicely for more privacy than other campgrounds.

We loved being by the river and had fun hiking around that. The camp site we had was very small (hard to tell from the photos online when we registered) but the tables are SO close to the fire pit it was pretty awkward- we took a walk and many were like ours- we’ll definitely be pickier next time, but we will return. Love that it is closer and pretty! Wished the bathrooms were emptied more often.

This was my second time camping at Gold Basin. Both times have been great. While you can see fellow campers, they’re far enough away that it isn’t an annoyance. The camp hosts are friendly and there is firewood available for purchase ($8) near the entrance. This campground is also near several rewarding hikes such as Lake 22, Heather Lake, and Mt. Pilchuck.

Overall a decent campground, but we had picked this campground over others nearby because of the hope of flush toilets, which turned out to be closed (along with the showers, which also would have been nice.) The pond across the street wasn't quite as picturesque as I was imagining, but the river was a lot of fun - shallow enough for kids to enjoy floats and such.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
