Camp site and Campgrounds were nice and clean. My only problem was the one vehicle per site unless you paid an extra $8 a day for a second vehicle.

I love this campground. It’s me and my family favorite. We were unable to get the usual spots this year so we got different spots. One spot had a big log right as we step out of the trailer. I actually fell over it and scratched up my leg. Like why don’t they remove it. It is obviously a trip hazard.Then my sister’s spot had so many ants that it was difficult to sit outside. We called it New Ant City. Hope we get different spots for next year.

We love Grizzly Campground and Lake Davis. Easy access to the lake in order to put your kayak in.

Tony did not reside in the camp host site. I suspect you are having trouble staffing it. Tony was kind. However, I did not like his repeated suggestions my dog be leashed. But, it’s the law and I get it. My fire pit was not cleaned in advance of my arrival. Something that has bothered me about grizzly for a long time is the lack of a hydrant to fill my trailer with water upon my arrival. You provide several fresh water paddle operated faucets. However, there is no threaded water hydrant to connect a hose and fill a fresh water tank on a trailer. Given the host site was empty I was able to back in there and fill up that way. I hope you’ll in stall a hydrant. I love grizzly I just wish for a hydrant. That’s all.

Love it! Hit Gumpas restaurant and J & J store. It rained the last night, but fun to curl up with the kids and listen to the rain on the tent.
