Bushytail is a beautiful campground! However, the day we arrived, so did a group of at least 25 from the same family. Seven tents went up in close proximity and a city was born. Although very nice people, with a group that size, it is next to impossible to keep the noise down. The noise was outside the quiet hours but it was nonstop the entire day! They basically took over the restroom, forcing us to walk to the one located at the entrance. Someone vomited in the restroom, as well as outside the door. This was not cleaned during our stay. We are trying to figure out the logic of mixing single sites with double, triple and quad sites. These larger sites are essentially group sites and not needed since there are several designated group sites nearby. We recommend converting Bushytail to single sites only and moving the larger groups to the group sites where they belong. Fortunately, the "mob" stayed only a couple days and we ended up having our last two days in peace and quiet. That was heaven on earth. Our rating would have been much lower had we not had those last couple days of tranquility.

Incredible natural setting and peaceful. We stayed here for a few nights and absolutely loved it. The campsites are spaced nicely apart, giving you plenty of privacy and a true "out in nature" feel. The surrounding trees and close access to the lake made it the perfect base camp. And the toilets were kept incredibly clean. It is very quiet at night, perfect for stargazing. Will definitely be coming back.

No hot water in the showers and was expected to pay $5 per shower! We stayed at Bushytail 3 years ago and there was no hot water in the showers then either.
