Excellent Campground near town, but quite expensive. Restroom definitely needs an update.

Our tent site is located right next to the creek and is not on a slope … away from all the tent site with a big lawn on the side… it was amazing!

Campsite was easy to find, clean, and very pretty. The camp host came by quickly and made sure were ok and offer to sell us firewood. Our trip would have been great, but the campsite next to us had music blasting so loud from the moment the woke up to the moment they went to bed, around 11:30pm.

Campground was amazing! Host was super friendly and brought us wood to the campsite daily. Equipment was upkept, like the cement pad, bear can and fire ring. Restrooms were also well stocked and clean. Looking forward to going back next season in Spring.

Entrance to campground is through the ski resort parking lot and located behind condominiums. Site 35 was huge with a lot of space, though right next to the ski resort magic carpet lift. Not a big deal during the summer as there is no activity. A bear cub visited the campground during the day and several campers started honking their car horns to scare it away so be sure to keep campsite clean and use the box provided. Restroom was clean with flushing toilets and running water. Kids had fun watching the Fourth of July fireworks show. Overall a good experience.
