All the host are so incredible. Most of the men are retired Public Safety & the woman working the gate are very knowledgeable & friendly . Like the one host said, “WE SELL HAPPINESS”. The entire group works well together & fun to chat with! During our visit there was a water main break & was kept informed - all campers were notified when water was turned on. I am still waiting for the follow up email promised from Rec.gov per our phone call about a refund that I was supposed to to get? Great job but so extremely hard to reserve a full hookup spot during the summer months.
Hopefully, we will see ya next year!

Pat, Mark, Lisa, the whole team and staff at Apache Trout are top shelf. Only issue is I feel we overpaid, no disabled veteran discount via my America The Beautiful Pass.
