Campground was great and location between lakes as well. Fire ban unfortunate but understandable. Biggest complaint was lack of signage on main highway for “Jumbo” campground. We went right past it and several miles beyond. Finally turned around & went to Visitors Center (which was of course closed). Fortunately were able to consult map posted in VC parking lot & figure out Jumbo was back at Mesa lakes area. Really no excuse for no signage on Hwy 65. I don’t have ESP & there was no cell coverage there b

Loved Jumbo Campground. Hosts were very nice and helped us with an adapter to fit the water spicket to fill our tank. There are lakes everywhere near Jumbo and a nice lodge for food and drinks. The biggest drawback is there is no dump station near the park to even dump gray water. We would have stayed a lot longer but we were full.

1. The toilets were full & very stinky!!!
2. There was a very unpleasant encounter with one of the camp hosts regarding whether propane faux fire pits were allowed. He was misinformed & very rude.
