Had sites 1-4. Was an absolutely incredible location and with the 4 spots it was like we had our own private campground. Up on a small hill with incredible views and right by the restrooms. Restrooms were very clean. Beware lots of bear activity. We had a bear at our site 2 out of 3 nights but no issues at all. Was an incredible experience

The site was beautiful- right on Lake Mary, and walking distance to Lake George, Mamie Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. Best campground bathrooms, clean with running water. The host Karen was lovely. We had a great time.

We took our first family camping trip at Lake Mary and had a blast! The bathrooms were cleaned and cared for multiple times a day and campsites cared for and picked up before new campers arrive. The lake and mountain vistas are gorgeous and we enjoyed visiting neighboring lakes during our stay for some wonderful exploring and fishing.

Beautiful campground with a view of the lake at every turn. Camp hosts are absolutely delightful, welcoming and informative.
Only negative is the next camp group parked in our spot and made it difficult to break down in the last hour. Check out is at 12pm and check in at 2pm. They just sat and watched us.

We had an amazing time enjoying the camp ground, among the few during snowy weather. Ron is a great host and we had an excellent time meeting Karen as well. Looking forward to another trip soon!
