The campground was great, but Roger the property ranger was not. I had my wedding reception there. According to my guests, Roger pulled up in his little red truck and make inappropriate remarks. On the day of my wedding there were an unexpected amount of cars, so he instructed my guest to park on the main road. Later, he asked me for $178 cash or check to have my guest park on lot number five. In the middle of picture taking, Roger was leaning against the tree asking me to get paid. Multiple witnesses saw when I paid him $178. I did not get a receipt. The area was beautiful, but unfortunately, the staff was rude and condescending.

We had a great time in this campsite! Site was clean and well maintained. It was nice to have the large ramada for our group to hang out and cook in. One thing to note - even though this is a site for 40 people, there are only 5 tent pads. A couple of them can handle two family tents, but a couple of them are pretty small.

Wonderful campsite & amazing weather. Campers at other site were a little load and went past the "quiet time". Spoke to the camp attendant and situation was resolved.

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.

Good campground for large groups. Roger does a good job keeping the grounds orderly.
