Lovely hidden gem on Mingus Mountain! Camp hosts Carole and Harry work hard to ensure the bathrooms are spotless and the campground clean! I wish generators were not allowed on Loop A, where we tent campers are. They really disrupt the peace and quiet of the whole camping experience!

Our site was perfectly shaded throughout the day and had plenty of space around us. We were close to the restrooms, but never noticed a smell. The bathrooms were always kept clean. We would stay here again.

The camp host was amazing! We LOVED her. I do wish there were quiet hours but other than loud people until 2am it’s was a beautiful campground.

Large sites and very quiet during the week. Very clean restrooms. Had problems with self-pay — did not have the exact amount for site and needed change. Campground host cannot handle any money issues! Need ability to use credit cards!

Camp Hosts are wonderful!!! Facilities fantastic.
Would prefer less generator noise in Loop A. We have noticed bigger RV's / toy haulers greater than 30 ft with generator usage and not respectful of other campers.
