Have stayed here many times and has always been a great experience. Only one time I was irritated because a camping group had 2 dogs that constantly barked all day long. Bathrooms are very clean and fully stocked. I just want to give a shout out to the short haired girl that works there (sorry I never got her name), she is always hard working and very friendly and remembered me from previous stays. She is awesome!!!! Campground close shopping if needed and not too far from lake.

We come here several times a year and have for the past several years. Always a great experience. Our new hosts, Gina and Anthony, are exceptional. Super friendly, helpful, campgrounds clean. Can't say enough about them. Looking forward to seeing them again next year.

Love the campground. It was quiet and neighbors weren't very close. This site doesn't have a good spot for a large tent. Kind of on a slope. Right next to restrooms and water spigot so that was a plus.

It is a nice campground with the campsites spread out. It needs a better sign to find the campground as you enter the parking lot for Snow Summit Ski Resort. There are a lot of things to do in the area including mountain bike riding, hiking, going out on the lake either to kayak or go for a cruise, take a ski lift up to the top of the mountain and check out the Village in Town.

Very helpful ranger Anthony. Nice sites with lots of room. Nice forest setting
Picnic tables were sometimes far from parking area. Sink did not work in Men's room.

I have 2 complaints. First, the access road to the camp was extremely difficult to find because of some construction that was going on, probably associated with the adjacent ski area. There was only a small cardboard temporary sign attached to a street sign post to mark the way to the campground, and it was easily overlooked - which I did on my first attempt to find the campground. I had camped there before a few years ago and so knew about where the camp was, but I still had trouble finding it. The second issue was the restroom closest to me campsite - the men's restroom was closed for the repair the whole 2 days I was camping, so I had to walk to the next closest restroom which was not all that close. Other than that, my campsite was fine and I found the campground quiet and conducive to relaxation, which is why I was there.
