We LOVE this camp site! It's our third time up in as many years, and it's a blast every time. We appreciate the toilet on site and just the seclusion this site provides from the road and other camp sites. It's so close to water with nice trails around. We've learned to pack fans for those HOT summer cabins and also make sure to get a good clean in before setting up the cabin. The place could use some TLC, especially with screens and keeping critters out of the cabins. Happy to do work on them the next time we're up there. Can't wait for our next visit!

We love the Crescent Mining Camp. This time we went to watch the Perseid Meteor Shower. Not the best view (a lot of trees and mountains) but a beautiful night and we love Crescent Mining Camp so much. Our dogs love the chipmunks!

The cabins are perfect for families looking to camp but not tent camping. The restroom is clean and has the toilet papers. I saw many sedan cars around the cabin so yes you can drive your sedan to it. The little waterfall is within walking distance

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
