Site #14. Very clean campground, especially the bathroom. Cathy, the host, is very nice and helpful. Our site was mostly shaded so that was great. T-mobile worked fairly well. Chipmunks were stage 5 cling-ons so people should really stop feeding them. ㅤᵕ̈

Camp host was amazing! What is with the white trash rolling in at 2am cursing and yelling?

A great campground with great scenery and fun rocks around it. Also, quick access to Manitou Lake. The campground host was very nice and helpful too.

Great spot! Lots of mature trees and shade, and close to a lot of things in the area. Host was very sweet and gave us a bunch of recommendations. Site 18 was huge and accommodated two large tents.

Camp host, Cathy, was wonderful! She was welcoming and filled with information about the area. The bathrooms were clean as what the campground. Lots of little trails that kids would find exciting.
