This was a very clean and safe place to Camp! The people were really nice and friendly... I had the best time. So if your going to visit Mines or the Mount Ida area and want on the lake, you should camp here. It is very nice and the nature is beautiful.

Everything was nicely organized and ran smoothly. The volunteer camp host was willing and able to help if I needed it as well as being friendly and nice. All the people staying there were respectful of others which made it a very pleasant experience. I enjoyed mountain biking on the Vista Trail while I was there. The trail was well maintained and turns were well marked.
