About Albion Basin
Overview
Albion Basin Campground, just 15 miles from Sandy, Utah, is set among shady white pines and aspens in its beautiful namesake basin in Little Cottonwood Canyon at an elevation of 9,500 feet.
Recreation
Hiking and mountain biking are very popular activities. Hikers enjoy the path to Cecret Lake, which begins at the campground, as well as the Catherine Pass/Sunset Peak Trail just down the road.
Mountain bikers often ride the Albion Basin Road and the trail to Germania Pass. Other trails include the Albion Meadows Trail and Cardiff Pass/Twin Lake Pass.Facilities
The campground contains 24 "reservation" sites (22 single sites, one double and one triple site) . All come with picnic tables and campfire rings. Vault toilets are provided. Roads and parking spurs are dirt. We no longer have "first come, first served" sites.
