Fern Basin Campground

I love this campground. It's a beautiful small campground nestled in the trees in the canyon. It has 22 sites....several first come first serve and then there are reserved spaces. I don't recommend long trailers. One man had a lot of trouble parking his 20 footer. The parking spaces are not really designed for that. It's geared towards tent camping. The bathrooms have a vault toilet in them. Currently there is no water available in Fern Basin Campground due to issues with the tanks. However, water is available at Marion Mountain Campground just up from Fern Basin. I really love staying here. I had no cell signal with Metro and another lady had T-Mobile and no signal. Her friend had one with Verizon. Please enjoy the beauty of the campground and help by picking up your trash and putting it in the dumpster provided. At $10 a night, you can't beat it. Very relaxing and peaceful.

This a a great little gem to choose if you’re looking for a quick weekend get away or if you’re just passing trough. It’s a small but cozy and very accessible campground. With water and restrooms available, but no showers and no electricity. At $10 you can’t beat the price.

Beautiful campground. We would totally come here again. The water wasn't working, due to issues with the tank. Thankfully we took enough water, as we only stood one night. There was a lot to explore outside of camp and inside.

Stayed here first week in October. Nights were cold but days were gorgeous!! We stayed in the week and the campsites were empty. Bathrooms are vault but surprisingly clean. We stayed in #21 and could smell the faint smell of the bathrooms once in awhile and bees were everywhere which was more annoying then anything.

Campground is nice if small. There is water at most if not all sites. The bathrooms are basically portypottys and have no lights in the building so bring a headlamp. The sites are good sized. I did not see a bear warning until the trail so make sure you have a bear bag or something since there are no bear boxes.
