We left for the day and left some firewood, axe and chairs in camp and when we returned our firewood and axe were gone.

This campground is very peaceful but does get road noise. It's about 10 minutes away from the city, which makes it very convenient. It also has a nearby walking and cycling trail, which is a pro. The river that flows nearby is beautiful. The bear boxes are large, which is nice because you can put your coolers directly inside with extra space. The host is also very nice and attentive; she ensures that all her guests are taken care of. I will definitely be back next year and stay for a bit longer!

Arrived at our reserved spot only to find out that someone had occupied it. The host switched us to the adjacent lot which was not a big deal because we were only staying for a night. However, the adjacent lot was right next to a dry bathroom/toilets (meaning no running water) which let out the smell whenever its door opened!
The trees that surround the lots & driveways also needed trimmings as they clip the top of my van.
This was a last-minute booking so it is what it is.

Great campground! Close to highway 89 but it is quiet at night, unlike many nearby campgrounds in which you can hear highway 80 or the train all night.

Most of the campsites were either too close to the highway and very noisy, or too far from the parking area. The roads were so narrow that I damaged my bumper. Also, there was no water available for the bathrooms or for drinking. I won’t be coming back again.

Host was wonderful and accommodating. Water was limited and sulfur tasting. The trail to the river was easy and there was a wonderful swimming hole nearby. The site was not large enough to accommodate a tow car and therefore had to be parked elsewhere.
