We camp often, and we found that this campground has the most amenities. It has excellent Bear Lockers for storage, a raised platform for your BBQ grill, and even a separate stand-alone BBQ grill of its own. Each site has a flat and well-prepared space for tents, and there are a few double-sites for larger groups. The only downside is the pit toilets, but at least they are clean and reasonably un-smelly. Remember to bring a screened-in pop-up in the Springtime, as the mosquitoes are swarming and hungry.

The Camp Ground Host was friendly, helpful and efficient. He kept the campground clean , especially the restrooms.
The Hope Valley area was fabulous. Blue lakes and all the other lakes were wonderful.

Such a beautiful place. And the camp host David is very helpful and very easy to approach.
Only thing I miss is I wish they planted more fish . Back when I was a kid there were plenty of fish all up and down the stream. I been coming here for over 50 years.

David is a very good Camp Host! Always enjoy our stay, have been staying in the campground for over 15 years, and even a couple times before it was re done.
