As usual my visit was great. No terrible noise, just the chatter of families having a good time.

This is a great campsite. Campsite is super clean and the hosts work hard to keep it that way. Loved our stay. Some campsites are close to each other but there are a lot of trees for shade, and privacy.

Great spot if you are biking snow summit. Clean bathrooms. The middle spots back up next to each other and might feel a little crowded but the edge sites are great.

I stayed here to relax and unwind and my neighbors and their children in the site next to me put their tents on my site and were throwing rocks at my tent, screaming, and playing music until 1 a.m. I had to stay at a motel just to get some sleep and feel safe. I will never return to this campsite again. Although Camp Host was very nice

Excellent place to stay, close to town and close to hiking and lake activities. Note that the bear lockers are much smaller than the normal forest service lockers, so plan accordingly.

Great campground for riding bikes at Snow summit. You are at the base of the lifts. The middle camp sites seem a bit crowded as they back up to each other but the perimeter sites are nice. Lots of shade. Clean bathrooms.

I was there for 4 days/3 nights. The actual site I was at was just as pictured. Had plenty of scattered shade throughout the day and a clear view of the sky at night. Two things though:
The woman’s bathroom was completely closed during my entire stay. No problem, I’ll just use the men’s instead but the sink wasn’t working in there. It was ok having to use the men’s during the day, but at night and early in the morning it was very uncomfortable.
The second thing was tar splatters on the stairs to the restroom. I initially didn’t see it because it was at night. The next morning my dog was constantly licking his paw and is when I found tar on paw. I noticed after a bathroom trip in the morning where that tar had come from. I had to carefully cut his fur between the pads of his toes and use oil to try and clean it off of his padding. It took 4 days before it completely wore off.

Great campground, clean restrooms, great camp hosts, awesome and beautiful place. Word of caution, if you buy firewood from Stator brothers nearby, the wood we got was not seasoned and smoked/soldered and was not great to burn.
