Had a great stay! Just wish some of the drivers would follow the speed limit driving through the campground.

Great campground, great host, spaces are nice with trees between most for some privacy. The only downside for us is all the improvements with paved paths and walkways - we much preferred the plain trails. Still a beautiful area we will return to.

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
