Such a wonderful campground. Some campsites have almost full hookups ....very rare for USFS campgrounds but very nice indeed for motorhome camping. In addition the provided flush toilets, showers and trash bins make camping very nice. The high elevation allows for pleasant days and comfortable nights in the summer. It is amazing just how clean the restroom facilities are and the entire campground is well serviced by the campground hosts. Great job everyone!!

This was our first time camping there and it was great! The campsite grounds were very clean and organized, and the facilities were as well. Short walk to Big Lake. The camp hosts were also very friendly.
