The camp host was one of the best I have ever met. The campground was clean and the bathrooms were spotless. Fishing in the lake was ok and there are plenty of decent hikes nearby.

Beautiful views and plenty of things to do. For the price with hookups it was a great deal. The kids enjoyed fishing and we went up to see Mackay Mine Hill which was cool.
The only issue we ran into was that the dump station has a fee, but the QR code takes you to the reservation payment. Next time we’ll make sure we bring cash with us ($5 for campers).
Also just an FYI, not everyone wants to listen to football games while camping... Please be mindful of neighbors and turn it down. 😊
