I love this spot to camp, my beef with this last visit had to do with the campground host. He was not present for the job, had not filled the tp in the bathrooms, returned to the campsite late at night then left again at 6:30 in the morning. Next he lets his house cat roam the campground during the day while he's gone allowing it to hunt the local chipmunks. If it was a natural predator for the area fine, but to watch a common house cat not on leash roaming the grounds killing a normal spices for the area. Common....

Absolutely beautiful space, well maintained and spacious. We couldn't have asked for better for our company picnic, everyone from 3 to 63 had a great time.

One of our all time favorite spots. The river was beautiful and surroundings peaceful. Only negative was the maintenance of the campsites. There were many weeds growing up under picnic tables and in and around the camping pad, whole area badly needed a mow. Lots of tall thistles all over the campground. Bathrooms were very clean. Water pump not working. Despite all of this, we’d go back in a heartbeat.

No shade except from the camp host. She needs to socialize a bit more. We definitely won’t be staying again.

Happy Meadows continues to be one of our favorite places to camp. This was our first time in Campsite #2, and it was just as great as others we've stayed at. It had nice river front space and some shade too. The whole campground is clean and quiet and surrounded by the most amazing nature.
