Clean bathrooms! Very well kept campground. If you don't like snakes you should camp somewhere else.

What a great campground. The camp host is the best. He keeps the place clean and working. The F.S. crew cleans the pool. and rest rooms weekly. The experience at Bumgartner keeps John proud of what he has offered for everyone. The nature trail is a real bonus as well.

great experience, clean site, and peaceful. Love that the side by sides are to be trailered in and out - keeps the campground quieter and safer for kids.

Nice, quiet, and clean campground. In previous years we camped here, the pool would get cleaned, but I never saw it as clean as when the cleaner guy (I think his name is Tyler) did it this time. He really pressure washed it well. No green algae left.

Beautiful campground! I like that it’s paved and they don’t allow motorcycles, 4-wheelers, side-by-sides, etc. in the campground.
