This campground was beautiful! It was large enough for our group, peaceful, and very clean. The bathrooms were kept clean as well. Camp host was wonderful and did magic tricks! Other than being scared of the bear, who luckily never showed up, it was great!

LOUD until 2 a.m. on a Sunday night and absolutely no evidence of any campground etiquette - riding bikes through my campsite, walking through my campsite...
I used to like this campsite for its proximity to the mountain and to town but I will not return. I have had many bad experiences camping but this was the worst.

Great and convenient location. Nearby lake, mtb trails and shopping centers. Yet feels secluded
