Very helpful ranger Anthony. Nice sites with lots of room. Nice forest setting

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.

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.

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.

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.
