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.

Our favorite campground. We had great weather this year. Water levels in the lakes can vary but this time they were all good. Fishing was the best in the last several years - I caught 3 nice sized brook trout on four casts. A serene, peaceful getaway to the woods.
