The toilets are really nice. Campsites are close to each other, but beautiful. Lots of bugs in late July.

What a wonderful campground! We stayed in site 1 with a 22 ft. trailer and a crew cab Chevy truck. We were able to back in and keep he truck tow ready the entire time. The views from the picnic table and tent site were gorgeous. Beautiful views of granite mountain and no view of anyone around. It was like camping in the middle of nowhere. It was quiet and very private. The pit toilets were the composting type and very clean and odor free. We will be back!

My site was small for my travel trailer even though the site was rated for the length. Rest rooms not so clean, desperately in need of paint. Lots of sites reserved with no one in them. Signage was poor. Was there several days and never saw the host. Won’t stay again.

Campsites felt private, had decent shade, were tidy/ready for us, and were mostly quiet. Bathrooms were clean and the lights were on a sensor at night. We'd definitely return!

I'm always very pleased with my stay here.
It's quiet. The water tastes good. The host work very hard to keep the place up. My site is always freshly raked. Free of trash. And the fireplace is empty. I see them cleaning the bathrooms every day.
The hosts are also very friendly and beyond helpful.

clean and odorless toilet. I was lucky to have a responsible and quiet neighbor. The ground is clean and flat. The host is nice.

Grear site, most of the camp sites are excellent and not too stacked on top of each other. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Great location, in the woods, near a river (not on), quiet and beautiful. Close enough to Ptrescott for quick drives for food and such. Would definitely visit again,.
