Beautiful setting for a campground. Easy access to Turquoise Lake and hiking. Camp Hosts are welcoming and knowledgeable of the area. The entire camp ground is clean and well kept. Most of the people in campers and motor homes follow the 10 PM - 8AM quiet rule, including generators which is nice for tent campers. It's a friendly camp ground which is good as many of the sites are close to one another and there is no buffer of vegetation for privacy.

Very enjoyable, except the dump and fresh water situation. Which includes Twin Lakes and Turquoise Lake. Will they be rebuilt?

Great campground but the whole water system was down! When this is a summer long problem the cost should be lower all the way around to stay here!
