The Camp Host Shawn was great, the campsites were immaculate, and we loved the location and layout of the camp. Perfect for our weekend trip up to Snow Summit. Thank you!

Great campground, close to town and hiking. The camp hosts are always great and tell you whats happening in the area like if there have been any recent bears or coyotes. Go every year

This campground is great because of its proximity to snow summit and the shade offered by the large trees. The spot we had could use some better leveling for tent camping but it wasn't a huge deal.

The site was great the only detail i didnt like. The spot from car to your site is on an uphill. So its a hassle up load and upload your equipment on and off the vehicle. Also i wish you could call the actual site. Instead theres a customer service number that they rarely pick up the phone and the same person answers .

Beautiful campground! We did have coyotes in our campsite so be careful if traveling with dogs. Clean bathrooms and friendly camp hosts.

Beautiful campground, perfect weather during heat wave in valley below AND the friendliest campground host (Sean) I’ve ever met. Kept grandkids entertained (and me too) with his magic tricks and balloon figures. Definitely will return

Wonderful campsite for small RV’s. For those who bike it is a nice place to access some nice bike lanes near the lake.

Enjoyed a two-day weekday stay with my daughter and grandson. The campsite was peaceful, and super quiet at night. Restrooms were clean. Firewood available for purchase. Will be back.
