Excellent facility and very friendly hosts! We did not actually see or use the showers or bathrooms due to Covid. Only disappointment is that a bear resistant cooler with a padlock was insufficient to leave out at night with the forest order restrictions, but that was not the fault of the facility.

Beautiful campground! We were in space 56. Very roomy, clean and we enjoyed all the wildlife that came through our camp. Loved having full hook-ups. Very friendly hosts. Wish wi-fi was available.

Camp hosts were as friendly and helpful as could be hoped for. So was the staff at entrance. The double site was perfect for us. The only suggestion would be that if both guests have senior passes that they be honored.

First time here. Beautiful area. Nice campground. Spaced out very well. The person working at the check-in was very nice and friendly. We will be back.
