We did not have a good experience at all. The camp host had a problem about everything we did. She gave us warnings about EVERYTHING including using “too much” water, making “too much noise” which we weren’t at all. She said we weren’t allowed to leave ANY coolers out at all, so when we went to walk around we had to pack everything away which makes no sense cause we were coming right back. We were so scared to do anything cause we knew it would upset her.
Also, the bathrooms were DISGUSTING! They smelled horribly and it’s smelled all the way to our campsite.
The mountains and water were beautiful, but way too many negatives for what it was. We will never return.

While the site itself is beautiful, the lady that is hire to host this campground is an absolute nutcase. Someone camped in our spot and when we brought it to her attention, she told us that we better go find a spot to do dispersed camping because she "couldn't do anything" about someone stealing the site I reserved a month in advance. She yelled at me and took my license plate number and then went on a tirade about how the forest service is underfunded and that she personally doesn't get enough time off. Totally unprofessional and I never even got to camp in the site I paid for.

The overall campground was nice enough but this space was funky - it had several cut down trees across it, the parking space was quite a ways from the table and fire ring and it was too exposed to the neighboring camps - I left early because of it - but to be fair I had a good experience the previous few nights at another site
