Love this campground!!! Only thing that keeps the rating from 5 stars is fact the tables, grills, and tent spots are not level in every site. Hosts keep the campground spotless, extremely dog friendly, and sooo close to Snow Summit.

Nice little campsite where, despite its proximity to civilization, you feel firmly-enough in nature to enjoy. Bonus for its proximity to fun little trails up the ski mountain.

Clean, well maintained campground. The site we chose had plenty of space and a little creek running through it. Great first car camping trip for my 4 year old daughter.

We had a wonderful experience here! We lucked out and swooped in on a cancellation to get one of the more secluded spots. The staff was lovely and everything is well maintained.

We stayed here summer 2019, the weather was gorgeous. There are plenty of trees for shade and there was a beautiful breeze. We didn’t even have to use our canopy. Spot 21 was perfect for our tent and very spacious.
