I was disappointed in the lack of gravel/Rock that was in the campsite and road, It was so dusty, they need to do some maintenance on the campsites since they now have raised some of the rates

Clean and beautiful campgrounds, well spaces apart. The layout made it very easy to park the RV. I appreciated the privacy of the bathrooms using the single rooms with locking doors. It would be nice to have hand soap at the sinks to wash hands.

The campground was clean and quiet. The bathrooms and showers cleaned and checked throughout the day. The store had most essential items. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Mark and Lisa were very helpful upon arrival. Thank You for a great week.

A beautiful campground in the Aspens and Pines by Big Lake. Bathrooms and showers are a nice plus. This campground is very busy. I believe all the full hook up sites were occupied, but we were able to reserve a non-hook up site roughly a week prior to our trip (only stayed 1 night) and at that time there were about sites 4 left. We did not use the RV dump, but that is always very helpful to have available. The operators were friendly.
