We stayed at B20. The view was AMAZING! Great pad to set up on. Not on a massive incline like the next place we had to stay. 🤦♀️ I am DEFINITELY booking here again.

B-5 has lots of sun at the heat of the day making it very uncomfortable but if you have a topper you you would be fine. So go have some fun camping.

One of the most perfect places we have been! We loved every minute of it! The town was fabulous with all the right places to shop. The views of the falls and the fishing were terrific! Trails were great! We will return!
