Campsites are confusing; i booked what I THOUGHT per the website was a 2 spot, but it only actually allowed 2 vehicles…well…I am using AND BOOKING the horse cg and 2 vehicles means to me 2 rigs. So we used an adjacent space that clearly appeared to be the 2nd space. The corrals were awesome. Access to trail heads excellent, this is a beautiful location. Thanks, hope to return in the future.

Amazing location, and the camp host was one of the nicest people we have ever met. He took great care in doing his job, and wanted to make sure you had an amazing stay! The toilets were cleaned EVERY day, to the point you couldn't tell they were pit toilets. His attention to detail was absolutely amazing!
The location was amazing as well. We woke on quite a few mornings to Mule Deer grazing by our site. We will definitely return.
