We reserved camp space #3. When we showed up we discovered the camp host had given our space to someone else that had complained about the spot they had reserved. That left us with their original subpar spot. Tried to be a good camper and make due but just left a bad taste. Thanks for asking.

Overall the site is good. The restrooms are very clean like the other reviews here and on Google mentioned. They also mentioned the camp hosts were great and that was also true. Our actual site was right on the Rim Rd (FR300) so ATVs and the like were constantly going by and kicking up dust into our site. The ground was also uneven and rocky in this particular spot. So I wouldn't recommend site #5.

Me and my boys had a wonderful stay. I, myself, had not been camping in 20 years. I missed so much about it. The campground facilities were clean. Pat, our host was just a great person to talk to and I can tell the campground is run very well. I would come back and I would recommend anyone to try camping here. We did the hangman's trail nearby and that was a really fun hike. We also walked around the lake. which is a either a short drive or a nice longer hike down the road. And while we didn't see horses in the campground, they were nearby. We enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back.

The sites are very large, and the bathroom was very clean. I'd say the only down fall is that there is only 1 bathroom and the water source is only at the entrance. The host is literally a sweetheart and I will definitely be recommending this campground to others! Thank you for a great stay!

We like this campground as we've stayed here before. This past time though there were a lot of rowdy children and other groups that didn't respect the quiet hours.

Perfect site. Camp host was great. We made reservations for camp site but with our equipment she helped us pick another site that would better accommodate our needs (Sun-Fri we were the only campers).
We had a mule dear within 15' of our site and wild horses within 30 ft of our site.
Our camp site was #10 - we had a SUV with tent attachment, UTV with trailer and canopy over our table.

It was a quiet and lovely campground. Every afternoon wild horses walked by our camp so neat to see!
We will definitely go back.
