I’ve been reserving spots at whitetail for over 20 years. The large fire pits, bbq grills and ramadas are always clean.the bathrooms are kept clean. I also love that the camp hosts (specifically Roger) lets you know the rules, then lets you be. No nosey hosts always checking in on the guest.

The camp host is great, very informative and friendly. Bathroom was clean, and it’s a great way to introduce families to tent camping while having access to water and power. We always love staying here.

Bathrooms were clean, table area clean. All quiet at night. Campground well maintained. Great views 1/4 hike, beautiful streams throughout campground. Fishing within 5 miles, and coffeehouses with 3 miles.

Campsite is beautiful, you can select from a number of tent pads that have been formed into the hillside at the group camp. The only thing that confused us was that the gate was shut for entry to the campground, with no signage to clarify that we simply could open the gate and drive in. After waiting a bit at the entrance, thankfully a car drove up from inside the campground and explained that it was in fact open and we could enter.
