We love this camp ground. Staff is typically very friendly. Campers are typically respectful of hours and noise. Very family friendly and dog friendly. So pretty and close to snow summit.

We choose site 42 for our pop up trailer. There was quite the slope from the trailer down to the fire pit/ tent landings/ picnic table. I couldn’t have asked for a better campground and site overall though. There were multiple spots on our site for tents. We had a very level spot for our pop up and the space for the fire pits and table where so Nice and shaded or sunny when expected. We were so close to everything “big bear” And walked to summit for some summer fun. We have two young kids and they also loved it. The camp host Sean was absolutely wonderful! He was fun, quirky, helpful, kind, and did some magic ticks for the kids!

Stayed here 2 years in a row now; it was a wonderful experience both times. Helpful host, well-kept facilities, and central location to town. Beautiful place to stay!

Nice little getaway. Clean camp sites with bear lockers. Which we didnt really need. Did see coyotes though. Didn't see or hear about any bears. Bathrooms clean and well stock, but only one stall per bathroom. Close to city but you dont hear traffic. Has bbq but brought my own, and fire pit. Has a camp host which does sell firewood. $8. Overall real nice place to stay. Went paddle boarding and kayaking at Caption Johns. Rode bikes and went on a night hike. Will be back.

Host Sean (sp?) is great. Did some card tricks for the kids. Clean, actually a nice quiet weekend (not the occasional loud party.
