We camped at the ernst site and were not disappointed! It’s very quiet, not to far off the main road. Nice central gathering area with perimeter campsites. The restrooms were very well kept! We will be back!

Great facility with everything we needed. Restrooms were nice and clean and well stocked. Camp host was friendly and communicated everything we needed to know and then left us to enjoy our time on the mountain. After the rain passed we all had a wonderful time!

The campground was excellent and well maintained. Our group stays for the week, have done so for several years and already booked for next year. We did not have a host, no issue except toilet paper ran out but we came prepared. The upper camp (Earnest) had a group that used amplified music that was not in accordance with the campsite rules.

The campground was incredible. The hosts were friendly and they really prided themselves on their work. The amenities were clean and information about the surrounding area was provided readily. The elk were bugling at night. Thanks for making our 100+ person Cub Scout campout a great experience! We’ll definitely be back next year.
