We’ve stayed for a few other times and as much as I want to give five stars, I can’t. This was the first year the outhouses were almost unbearable. The smell was incredible. I’m not sure if they’d been cleaned from the prior year. Otherwise we absolutely love this place!!!

Campground was clean and well maintained. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. This was the noisiest campground I ever stayed in. Saturday night was kaos as expected. Sunday was better until a fifth wheel pulled in about 3pm and cranked on a loud generated and ran it all night long.

It felt like we were camping at an apartment complex. Tons of people, an odd public pool, and children shouting and screaming. There were so many people crammed in there. It was loud as people were constantly walking around, shouting, and riding their ATVs. You drive up towards Cascade and see absolute beauty everywhere with the trees, the mountains, and the river. Then you go on this very long dirt road thinking the campground must be equally as regal. When you arrive at the campground, and find your space, it is cramped, crowded, and the “creek” is more like a tiny stream. Obviously we were very disappointed and won’t be returning.
