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.

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 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.

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!

Been coming here for several years now. It’s a great place for families. I just wish the adults would pick up their trash and teach their kids how to respect wildlife and nature. As a parent, I saw many adults leaving trash everywhere, feeding wildlife, and disrespecting the space. People were also blocking the road and not parking in the turnouts correctly. Others went the wrong way when it’s a one way road. Kelly, our camp host, was really friendly and helpful.

I’ve been to many campsites and don’t plan on going back to this one. The culture was off. People were making all sorts of noise till 4am. There was no noise curfew. People were playing loud music during the night. There was no peace.

The camp ground was beautiful. The camp host, Kelly, was very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were the cleanest and freshest smelling camp bathrooms that I've ever used! I'd definitely look forward to coming back.
