Basecamp at Snowbowl

My sister and I recently stayed for 1 night while skiing! I saved more money on lift tickets than I spent for the accommodation with the ski free option which was a total SCORE!! Loved that it was the closest place to the mountain, everyone was extremely friendly, had a small bar/restaurant on property, in the morning there was complimentary coffee and packaged snacks which was unexpected but very appreciated! Small room/bathroom but we didn’t need much, there was a fireplace in room also which kept us warm all night while it was snowing outside. We had a great stay, definitely will be back!

2nd time I stayed here. 1st time 5 years ago and figured they would have done some updates. Overall Meh! Not a comfortable experience. Positives: Staying in a room at Base Camp includes two free lift tickets. Restaurant had good food and drinks. Location is closest to Snow Bowl. Negatives: I stayed in cabin 2. My comments are similar to other negative reviews. No microwave or mini fridge, that should be basic. Walls are very very thin and can hear neighbors walking and talking. The bathrooms are in dire need of updates. Tub was not the cleanest, and had some grime and old moldy caulk. The shower kept going from hot to cold, as if someone pranking me and flushing toilet. The shower/tub was higher up and had to step-up to get in. Im only 5’10” and kept hitting my hand on ceiling trying to wash. And shower head was so low, I had to duck and bend over to wash hair and face. Seriously, I felt like Will Ferrell in Elf, in the scene when he was showering in his elf size shower. Recommendations: Base Camp has so much potential to be 5 stars but they need to update cabins. I think they have been missing out on a large opportunity over the years. You would bring in so many tourists and Phoenix folks if you can upgrade or add more cabins. This is prime real estate and owned by a ski resort! How is Base Camp not already updated and a nicer experience?

The room did not have central heating and relied on a fireplace instead. The noise at night was extremely loud. We checked out and returned the key before 11:00 a.m. As agreed with the front desk, we waited on the porch between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. for pickup because there was no shuttle bus to the ski area. Despite this, we were still charged a $20 late checkout fee. In addition, we did not receive any assistance from the front desk that morning when we had trouble redeeming our ski tickets online. Instead, we were directed to the ski area ticket window, where we had to wait in line for about 1.5 hours.

Nearest to Az snowbowl. The cabin was cozy and there was no bugs which was surprising. Service was very good and they restore their complimentary snacks and pastries at 6:30am for breakfast. We didn't eat at the restaurant, but the reviews are good so I recommend it.

I came up from Phoenix to see the Fall colors. I love this place with their cabins, gas stove Heating, and it has a fun restaurant/bar on the property with patio seating in the front and a large backyard with variety of seating and yard games like Big Blocks for Jenga and a large checkers board. My one nigh stay in a very clean Queen bed cabin w bathroom & walk-in shower that was great as I have a walking handicap.There is a front porch w 4 Adirondack chairs to sit out & watch the night sky. It came with a free gondola ride pass which I had planned to do anyway so it worked out great!! The price was less than $90, which is a steal for such a nice stay😃 Oh, and it is dog friendly so gonna plan the next time with my dog owning friend.
