This is concerning the dining at base camp where you catch the gondola ride to the top. The service staff was way way to under staffed. So our waitress was way over work, and she had way too many tables to watch over. She was a bit testy with our table, due to her being overworked. The kitchen was way over burden, from ordering to getting our meal was 45 minutes. They said if we wanted it to go, there was a surcharge, but never said how much. The bacon cheese burger was horrible, but great frys. It was very expensive for what it was. BRING YOUR FOOD AND DRINKS. I don't like leaving bad or negative reviews. But I call it like I experience it.

Quesadilla with beans with salsa and queso dip

I was pleasantly surprised that the food was good and prices were reasonable. We're staying in an Airbnb close by and came in for a quick dinner and beer. The place is cozy with lots of spots showing on TVs. The friendly solo server was efficient in getting us all food and drinks. We'll definitely come back when we're in Snowbowl.

I truly and deeply wish I could give less stars. My husband made reservations with a wedding party here this last week. Everything about this place was a disappointment. After several calls, we were told check in was at 4pm. When we arrived at 355, we were told our rooms wouldn't be ready for more than 20 mins. After we waited and we're finally able to grab our room, the true disaster started. The website advertises each room, except the suites, have a queen bed. When we entered our room, we found the bed measured less than four and a half feet wide (we measured), making it a full at best. The bed also had at least five inches of space from the top of the bed to the headboard as well. The pillows were squished into nothing more than a 12 in by 12 in square. The room also wreaked of cleaning product. When I went to the front office, they let me know that each room has the same bed, full size or not. The individual from the front desk was then seen leaving the main office with a tape measure and she entered several rooms to find the same conclusion I had, the beds were less than 4 1/2 feet wide. Upon entering the bathroom, we found our shower was not only full of cracked tiles, but even worse - - covered in black mold!! It was down the each side of the shower and across the entire ceiling. When I went to the front desk to make them aware of the situation, there was no other room offered. We asked for a full refund as I AM PREGNANT AND DONT FEEL SAFE there. The front desk person VERY smugly responded with an eye roll and said "I'm sure". we had been there less than 30 mins and were treated with nothing but disrespect. They fully refunded our room, thankfully. Do trust we will never even give a second look to basecamp ever again. It was disgusting and full of nothing but rude people. Do yourself a favor and book an air bnb around instead of dealing with this horrendous and disgusting place.

2 queen room

This is a review of both the basecamp lodge and basecamp restaurant. I'll start with the restaurant. The staff was friendly and they can accommodate large groups. Prices are reasonable and they have a good selection of food. Great happy hour! I had low expectations because let's admit, bar food is never really awesome... I have now changed my opinion, ALL the food was FANTASTIC! We started with fried pickles, sliders and pretzels. All three listed were the BEST I've ever had anywhere and I'm a FOODIE! Blew my mind! Then I ordered the steak salad. It was also fantastic. The food was made with good, fresh ingredients. Everyone else at the table loved their food as well. I had the Margarita and it was a bit too sweet but a nice heavy pour. 5 stars for the restaurant. Now on to the lodge... we reserved a 2 queen room. When we walked in the room was clean but they were not regular queen sized beds. They were more like a full size. The pillows were the size of throw pillows. So disappointing and uncomfortable. There was a 1.5 inch gap above the door that could let bugs in. Screen was cut off one window so we couldn't let fresh air in without bugs. Bathroom had no counter space at all and the toilet had no lid so if you put something on the back of the toilet it could fall in. Shower was terrible. Barely any water pressure. Water in tub didn't drain so you're standing in dirty bath water. So much was wrong with this room. It was a 1 star for sure. Gave an over all rating of 3 because the food at the restaurant was amazing. Basically what I'm saying is... Eat here; Don't sleep here! LOL

Me and my friend split a room that came with two free lift tickets for a weekend of snowboarding. First impression was that the room was very cozy. We selected the single queen bed room, it had a fireplace. We loved this addition it gave a very warm feeling . The bathroom is a big enough for one person all in all the rooms just for downtime between activities, dinners, boarding but it's definitely a warm, comfortable place to come back to. It is very important to know that there is no early check-in and you cannot get your free included lift tickets until you have checked in at that 4 PM time. The restaurant opened later in the evening, it was great. We ordered a couple happy hour menu items, very quick and convenient to place order online and walk up and grab. And above all the short distance to the mountain, the closest place you can stay rings in to be just so exceptionally convenient. Definitely will stay here again.

Smoke from the very close neighbor
Paula S.

Don't do it! Online this place looks rustic and removed from the hustle and bustle. Up close & in person this place is set next to a busy road, and in need of a refresh 10 years ago. When we arrived we had booked two cabins on one reservation but they only had 1 spray for 1 cabin and the cabins were not next to each other. The cabins share a patio with 2 cabins so instead of our group sharing we had strangers. The cabins are run down, dingy and in the case of my unit moldy. The website says it is queen beds but they were doubles. There are huge gaps in the doors that let in plenty of bugs & cold air. We were dealing with run down cabins and really close strangers but then realized they allow smoking on ever patio. That means our party with asthma couldn't use their patio while their neighbors smoked, they couldn't sit in their room because there are huge gaps in the doors. Tried using the fan to blow the smoke out but the duct tape fan stopped working after 5 minutes and even though it was 8 pm would couldn't find any staff and the message we left about the issues is yet to be returned. There is a "restaurant" on site for lunch/dinner. The onion rings were great but everything else was mediocre and we found long hairs in our food 2 nights in a row. The waitress was amazing and the only reason this place deserves mor3 than zero stays.

cheesesteak and quesadilla were both amazing !!!

food service was ok, not restaurant's fault and more of the server, in the end, the food was amazing, got the cheesesteak and it was the bomb, definitely coming back for sure !!!

This is the most disgusting place I've ever stayed in, no exaggeration..I've stayed in hostels and hotels in third world countries. I'd take pictures, but my kid is already freaked out...please hold until morning. UPDATE! Where do I start..well, upon arrival we noticed the smell first. Yep, classic dirty sock smell. Walk in, light switch doesnt work. Whatever, I've got a flashlight and dive into the place and find the light in the bathroom. One of the lamps works manually. It works. Dinner in the dark. Let's talk about the poor white cat that lives on the property. This cat straight up stalked us. Scared the living shit out of me more than once. Tried to get in our room several times. The heater was so old I thought it was going to catch fire. It smelled like it. The night we stayed, we called the office to see if the restaurant was still open (it was 9:30). They said yes, they're serving food until 10 (or whatever time it was, this was 6 months ago). We tell them that we are going to head over there for dinner. Five minutes later, after I used the bathroom and put my coat on, we walk up to the restaurant and they are closed! Front desk guy apologized but said they will close early if it is slow. Thanks for telling us it would be open until 10:00...five minutes ago. The inside of the room was the nastiest shithole I have ever slept in. There was SO MUCH DOG HAIR and other unidentifiable stains all over my "clean sheets" on both beds. There is zero chance those sheets were washed. ZERO! I found a dirty sock on the side of my bed. Maybe that's where the smell came from. The walls were falling apart, the whole place was so embarrassing. I'm really disappointed that Snowbowl associates themselves with this place. The

This was a nice experience. The bed was a bit small and lumpy but the atmosphere is very quaint. We didn't get to try the restaurant.

We arrived shortly after Snowbowl opened and there was already a line to check-in, but it moved quickly. We pre-purchased our tickets ahead of time and everything went smoothly. We also signed up for the complimentary beginner snowboarding class included in our ticket since we were all new. We attempted to snowboard before our class and failed over and over, so were grateful for the class. Our instructor was personable and helpful. He taught us the basics which made snowboarding a lot more enjoyable. After an hour or so of the class, we were free to try the beginner slopes. There was a live DJ on the patio the day of our visit. There was also some type of competition. The food hall didn't have much of a variety and have limited vegan and vegetarian options. Items were a bit pricey, too. Overall, we had a good experience. We would definitely return, especially since this is the closest snowboarding option to us.

No one got back to me. Showed up the day of to learn I needed to stand in a 2 hour line to pick up my day ticket due to the lack of email. After further prodding I was directed to an upper lodge where the wait was only 45 minutes. Arrived at 9:30, didn't get on snow til sometime after 11. This could have been avoided with one simple 30 second interaction that I tried for HOURS to try to make happen before the day of. Communication is terrible. Website is awful, tried updating my information online to try to head this off as well, made an account, tried looking up my purchase, said nothing was under my email, went to my profile, it hadn't added my email address even though it was what I signed up with. Tried to add email and address information to website, it errored out. Tried several times over multiple times, same error. The mountain? Is alright, if you like taking narrow cat tracks crowded with 100s snowboarders slowly hopping along like frogs on quaaludes. Couldn't rate the rest of the mountain because even though they had almost 4 feet of snow in the week prior to opening day they had 2 lifts running which essentially serviced the exact same terrain. Sad.. just sad.

However, there are some higher-res photos on this Yelp page. Also, they are very hand-holdy about all the rules for getting to the yurts. After talking with them, I get it. There are lots of Gumbies coming up from Phoenix with zero outdoor experience getting lost on trails. We are all pretty experienced in winter, trail, and off-trail travel, so as soon as we were able to convey that, we were good! These yurts are perfect. You have to hike to get into them, so you avoid any sort of crowds you'd have if you were car-camping. But, the hikes are really short, so you can still have a pretty bougie outdoor experience, and bring lots of heavy stuff! They also provide grills and port-o-potties. We stayed in the Columbine Yurt. There were 4 of us, and the fit was perfect! The stove can get the yurt nice and toasty, just sure the window flaps are closed so you can keep that heat in! This was a great place to stay while hiking nearby Humphreys Peak. I would absolutely come back!
