Very clean, well serviced space. The hosts were all very friendly. My family and I enjoyed our many hiking adventures around the Payson area.

Great campsite (007, ELK) with so much space for 5 adults in 3 tents. The campground wasn't too busy since it was a cold February weekend but we loved the relative privacy. Would love to return in warmer weather!

Trees were down on the site we had reserved but the site host called and let me know they had picked out another great site for us. We could not be happier with our experience, the bathrooms were clean and the staff were friendly and accommodating. A+
