Campground was quiet and the hosts did a nice job keeping the restrooms clean. We were at site 16 and we had plenty of shade and convenient trees to hang our hammocks. We had 2 vehicles and a popup camper; we were able to get all three on the driveway but it was close quarters. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

We reserved 4 spots (9-12) at Blue Mountain for the 3rd weekend in Sept. It was amazing. The sites are open and roomy with plenty of places to pitch tents. We had a group of 15 between the 4 sites and it worked out perfect for us. Site 10 ended up being the "home base" where we all congregated and it worked out well. The campground was full for the weekend, but due to the way it's laid out and the size of the sites, it didn't feel full. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. If I had to complain about anything, I would say that the way that some of the parking spots are positioned in relation to the road make it difficult to back in, but it certainly wasn't a huge issue. I will definitely be camping here again.
