Campsite larger than expected. Yurt was clean and well maintained. Many paths to the water. While I loathe vault toilets, they were kept very clean.

Someone set up into our reserved camp spot and didn’t even pay to camp there. The campsite manager couldn’t do anything to make them leave, but they were able to get us another spot at a different campground overall OK experience.

We spent (3) nights at the Headquarters Campground. Shortly after we arrived, the Host, (Randy) greeted us and was very attentive to answering our questions. His knowledge of the local area, hikes, activities, etc. was excellent. Randy maintains this campground in excellent condition. The trash area is clean, and the campsites are free of debris. Fire rings and bear boxes were empty. The pit toilets are well maintained and stocked with paper. We observed Randy checking the grounds frequently, throughout our stay. Randy also made it very clear that he takes maintaining the guest's safety a priority. We have stayed at other campgrounds. Headquarters stands out above the rest, because of Randy!
