The camp host (Kelly I believe) was incredibly friendly. We've been visiting Fashoda 1-2 times per year for the past 5 years and I've never seen the bathrooms so fresh and clean. Loved it!

The camp host and camp group was nice. It was the rude people in the next few camp sites. They played music until 11 pm. I enjoy camping but other people ruin the experience.

Kelly, the new camp host was very nice or helpful.
The campground was beautiful and I have never seem any host clean the restrooms as often as she.
Picnic areas along the trails were also extreme well maintained.
Will definitely book again and hopefully see Kelly the next time I am there.

The location was easy. Plenty of parking. Right next to the beautiful lake. The trail head to Bassi Falls was about 20 mins a must see. We will be back.

The new camp host Kelly is the nicest and most welcoming host that we have experienced. We have been going to this campground for over 10 years now and always have a wonderful time. Kelly was always checking on all the campers making sure everything was ok and she kept the bathrooms clean. I hope she is there next year again!

We have stayed at Fashoda 3 years in a row . 10 is right next to the vault stinky bathrooms. Not a bad site short walk to the lake . Easy check in . Host is great & does checks frequently. Not the best at having people keep the noise down.. good fishing spots .

We really enjoyed Fashoda campground. The host was so helpful and the vault toilets were clean and well stocked. The only issue is I would advise people to either not choose site 5 or to be aware that campers in site 8 will cross directly through your campsite at all hours because the pathway from that site to the parking lot and additional bathroom around is far too long and people just don’t use it.

Always the best time here. Water was nice and full, be going here almost yearly for 16 yrs. 1st time we ever had a bear go through our stuff. Which cut our trip a day short.

Our family has been coming to Fashoda for last 20 years every year around July 4th. And unfortunately to say this year has been the worse. And it's all because of the ranger or the host there. She was always under the influence, always has an open beer can in her car. She was extremely unprofessional, very rude and very aggressive. She was dropping f words in front on our children, screaming and constantly threating to kick us out. Even though we had a really nice and quiet group. At one time she came in at 10pm and tried to force us to all go into our tents even though we had no music playing and we were not loud at all. Another thing there was never any toilet paper and toilets were very dirty.
