I found that my campsite as well as quite a few other ones were rundown and needing updates. There was no level ground anywhere for pitching a tent. The picnic table was slanting downhill.

The camp host was completely unreasonable. There were many open campsites mid week and I was in space 09 for 1 night (i thought i reserved 2 nights)... the second night (Monday night) I was met by the sheriff around 8pm... we both proceeded to the camp host and she demanded i pack up and move my site to a different site because someone had reserved mine (let me remind you there are plenty of sites open). So instead of letting me pay for the extra night in the same spot i was required to move. I even offered to leave at 8am the next day so the next guest could take my site. So I ended up leaving the camp all together that night and site 09 just sat empty.

We’ve been coming to White Spar for years, the setting is beautiful. There have in the PAST issues for cleanliness at the campsite.
The host , Wendy, is exceptional this year. She keeps the campsite perfect… we will definitely be coming back! Thanks Wendy for a wonderful stay. Bernadette & Jeff Dahl - Scottsdale

The host was kind and helpful!
And the side was clean and nice! Not as private as expected but still far away from the next sides.
Unfortunately this side is very close to the restrooms and whenever the wind blowed in our direction we smelled it. But fortunately that didn’t happen too often.
Plus, there were a lot of flies in the restroom. I guess it’s hard to avoid that in summer...
Some germicide in the restrooms would be great.
Moreover, the road is pretty close. It wasn’t too annoying for us but one can hear it.

All in all we liked the place and felt well. It was quite and the nature around was nice.
