Basin Campground Info

Latest word from the park is that the new map "is almost finished", but will not be posted until the new numbering system is in place (date still TBD). They hope to have it all set to go in early October.

Anybody seen the new map yet?

Here's Jim's map, a little bigger:

Would love to see a PDF if one exists. Otherwise, I'll check it out in person in two weeks.  I've reserved site 41 so I'm curious to see if that is still the site number for that site...if that makes any sense.

We do have a final version of the campground map, but it may take a while
yet to get it posted on our website.  You can find a version of it with the
new numbering at http://www.recreation.gov .  It has been available there for
reservations being made for the November 15 reservation season.

For your camping needs on this upcoming trip, the majority of changes were
in the first loop (sites 1-20), essentially the flow of traffic is one way
counterclockwise in that loop and the site numbers were pretty much
reversed.  The sites in loop 2 (where the traffic flow is clockwise) were
changed but usually only by a couple of numbers from the old site number.
Almost all of the sites in loop 2 are the reserveable sites.  Loop 3 (two
way traffic) numbers stayed pretty much the same as before with several of
those also being reserveable sites.

Loop 1, sites 1-18 are the only sites where generator use is allowed.

Here's what I could piece together in a quick hack job:

I can't tell if all of these pictures were taken after the renumbering or not. Anybody care to do some QA?

Before. My favorite site used to be numbered 41. It's now 21 and the 21 in the picture is definitely not the site I like. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
