This loop is not advantageous for camper pop-up or bigger trailer camping. Most sites face the wrong direction making it next to impossible to get your trailer in

Beautiful area with plenty of trails close by. Camp host was wonderful and helpful. Some spots are a little closer together so recommend going to scope it out (if possible) beforehand so you know what you’re getting. Planning to come back again next year!

Beautiful area, Great Camp Hosts and very clean. But water in lake was down and there were many burned out areas in the campground...so sad.

Our campsite was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The back in site (24) was actually longer than advertised so plenty of length for our 18 ft camper plus truck. There is a short walk to Turquoise lake which we took advantage of every day. Nice place to relax, read a book, enjoy the view of the lake framed by Mt. Massive in the background. Be aware, like most nat. forest campsites, the campsite is not level to camper standards. Be sure you bring your leveling blocks.

What a great campground! The sites were nicely spaced and large enough to offer some privacy. David, the camp host, was welcoming, and the bathrooms were well maintained. We will definitely stay there again.

It was horrible! We had an entire fraternity next to us all in one camp site, we could smell the bathrooms from where we were supposed to stay. We hung out for about 15 min and decided to go where we had cell service to look for other options. Called the number listed to try and get a refund and the automated message said they have nothing to do with refunds or campsite conditions. Really too bad that such a nice location is treated like S**T. won't be going back unless I feel like fishing on my way by.
