Nice views. Can be rocky if your tent camping. Bathroom was clean. Our host was a rude. We did have a lot of skunks visit.

The site was beautiful with plenty of trees. Having water and containers for trash on site was a big plus. plenty of space in the spots. The only bad thing was the person in charge of the camp that repeatedly inserted himself into our experience by warning us throughout the day of camp rules and complaining about other campers. He shared with me way too much info about experiences with other campers while I was in line at bathroom. I believe he took my respectfulness and quietness as either permission or a chance to intimidate. Is the camp nice. Most assuredly! Will I go there again. Most likely not.

I always love to come to this campsite. Usually quiet. This year I came on a holiday (4th of July.) the only draw back over a holiday... is that the Razor type vehicles and 4 by 4's were racing around all hours of day and night. Bob was extremely helpful and friendly. We were able to have fire as the ban was lifted a few days before. It's still very dry and with the elevation a bloody nose was a given. (Bring nasal spray!) Road coming in is passable by car, but it is bumpy. I think the horses were hiding mostly because of the amount of people in the woods. A lot of cows by the lake this time around. Bathrooms were immaculate! Thanks Bob!

Camp host was great! Patrolled the area multiple times to make sure we were comfortable and to ask if we needed anything. The bathrooms sparkled. This camp site is one of the cleanest and well maintained on the rim. Thank you!

This is the 3rd time we have stayed here and love it. We stayed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. All the weekenders had left and it was like we had the place to ourselves. As usual, the camp was neat and clean. We had never met this camp host before. He was so nice. He was always available for any questions we had and would periodically check in with us to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be going back again

Bob (camp host) was very friendly, attending, helpful and a really nice person to have a conversation with, which is a rare to find all in one together! The bathrooms were pristine (along with the campgrounds) and the camping areas were placed distant enough to give the campers privacy. Overall it was a great experience and we’re already planning to go back!

Great spot, we had a 24’ Toyhauler it was tight getting in there, especially since they didn’t really use the loop system for some of the roads.
