Awesome site, very private and large. Easily accommodate additional tents. Bit of a hike from the car but that just adds to the privacy.

Very nice level concrete site. Campground seems secluded but is not far from stores and restaurants. We would stay again but need to be better prepared for elevation.

The week of 20 May there was absolutely NO communication from recreation.gov to the campers ahead of time that there would be NO water at ALL at the campground, just a small sign on the campground board at the entrance but if you had a reservation there’s no need to stop there! The Spickets were not covered so there was no way of knowing water would NOT be available! Campers had to go back into town to fill up with water! There was no mention of when there would be water! I called the 1-877 number and they did know about the water issue so they weren’t much help! We camped until we ran out of water then left! We didn’t come prepared for no water! We camped here the same dates last year and did not have a problem! This is the only campground in the area ran by recreation.gov that has water and electric so VERY disappointed that this camping trip was a bust! Nice campground but a tight loop and some sites are short with some vehicle’s hanging out in the driveway.

This is a great campsite with beautiful views, a well operating fire pit, tent space, and water access. My friends and I had a great time. A few cons: it’s pretty exposed, so sun protection is essential. Unfortunately we had several people walk through our site to get water access. This was a bit unsettling. The restroom also ran out of toilet paper twice, so I recommend bringing your own. Otherwise, we had a wonderful weekend.

This was our second time camping at this campground and we always have a relaxing experience. This site is having decent privacy and nice views of Mountain and water too. We camped during May and had a unexpected rain and heavy winds and snowed too, forcing us to mostly relax inside the tents. we ended up leaving a day early as it was too cold, rainy and windy. The bathrooms were clean and has a water tap close-by. This is a walk-in site, park the car in the reserved spot and be prepared to walk few steps with all your stuff.
Overall we still would camp here again and be more prepared for any unexpected weather changes.
