The drive up was fantastic, the camping spots were great with metal bear boxes to put your food in and clean. They offered to bring you wood for an extra $20 bucks The only issue was the first night, the jets from the base were so loud for hours and the motorcycles on the road were pretty loud. Hard to sleep with all the jets and race cars with the modified mufflers to be even louder. Second night was a bit better, jets only for an hour. I know they can't control the the noise pollution but that is the only reason I won't be returning

Our camping stay was from Aug 31 - Sept 6th. Our camp hosts Shane/Vicky, Pete/Leslie and Chris were the best. They all checked in on us to make sure we had what we needed & if we had any questions/concerns! They took the time to say β€œHelloβ€πŸ˜€
We also appreciate the cleanliness of the restroom & keeping them supplied.
Thank you to our hosts & look forward to seeing them again soon!

Really well taken care of campsite. Great amenities. The only downside is that some sites are so close to each other but we found better ones we will reserve next time.

Gorgeous setting; peaceful.
Friendly camp host.
No cell phone service.
Saw lots of folks going fishing, which was nice.
Bathroom was clean and smelled pretty good, actually. It was always stocked with toilet paper.
I think it’s $9 to park an extra vehicle at your site.
Overall - excellent. We loved it!
