The staff was very helpful, most sites are not too close together and the full hookups were a wonderful bonus. I was sorry to see the shop closed next to the springs. Beware of the bear and raccoons …no garbage outside!

I love this campsite, but was disappointed I was not allowed to book a first come first served site directly at the gate. The lady told me i had to book online, and the reception in the area was poor. In addition doing it that way incurred an extra $8 "Online Fee". It is a lovely place and the lady was nice. Thank you.
