This was out 2nd year at Dearhammer and will be making it an annual tradition. It’s a beautiful location with amazing fishing. The hosts are always so friendly. And the vaulted toilets are kept really clean. See you next year!

We stayed at site 8, which was located next to the creek, making it wonderful to sleep next to. The site was spacious, flat, and fairly private. The sun hits that side of the campground in the morning. Above the campground is a beautiful reservoir where we watched an incredible sunset.
