Be aware that the descriptions on campsites regarding sizes etc are not accurate for this campground. A,B,C loops are overall not a good choice if you have a trailer bigger than a small teardrop. Parking areas are not level and are hard to back in. This campground has great access for the 18 road bike trails, but otherwise is a bit bleak and can be windy. The camp host was not able to recommend an appropriate site for our trailer to fit (no knowledge of the sites etc) and could not change our booking directly. If you need to change sites you have to do so on the app, which did not work due to errors and lack of phone service. The number to call had a 30 minute wait time.

If you’re tent camping, the tent area, picnic table and fire pit are all on level ground. If you’re not tent camping, be aware this is the only unlevel site on the G loop. The gravel parking area was tight for 3 vehicles (SUV, teardrop trailer, van) especially given wind direction and slope. The site was close to the bathroom, which was clean and well stocked with toilet paper. There were many dispersed campers in the area also using the bathroom. Easy access to trails, with awesome views! Quiet area. Enough space between the G sites, all of which were level except G4.

Camping was great! I liked seeing the new development with the lower campground, and the addition of more toilets!

We booked sites B2 and B3 for a van and small camper trailer. The sites are tent sites and very unlevel in the parking area. This should be called out in the description. The description just said 30 ft length and no mention that it would not be acceptable for a van or trailer. We could not use the sites and had to drive into town after dark to look for a suitable site. Beautiful area and many great sites but beware, some sites are not good for campers.

The road to the camp is rough. I mean it's a crumbling, axle breaking, torn up mess. We arrived to find a giant rv taking up 1/2 of our site. And the pit toilets were out of toilet paper 2 days of our 3 day stay. We will not be returning to this disaster of a campground, things were much better when it was free - not $23 per night!
