Molino Basin Campground has 36 single-family campsites and is located at an elevation of 4,500 feet on the slopes of the Catalina Mountains. The single-family campsites are first-come, first-served. One group camping area is reservable. The campground usually opens in April and closes the end of October.

The campground is  spread out over a fairly large area so most sites have nice privacy. Campsite can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs. Each campsite also has a table, food storage locker, lantern post, fire ring and grill. Several of the campsites are walk-in sites and sites 1 and 2 are for picnic only. About a third of the campsites have decent room for RVs or trailers. There is an intermittent creek in the campground and there are some nice hiking and mountain biking trails.
