Volunteer camp host was wonderful! We had reserved a spot to make sure we got one, but once we arrived found a FF site we preferred. She was very kind about us switching. Came around later to check on us and even offered free firewood if we ran out. Beautiful area, would definitely return!

Really nice and quiet campground! Great host, clean facilities. Lots of mosquitos, but can’t hold that against the campground. Biggest issue for us was just the set up of the site itself. No established tent pads which made it a little difficult to set up. In all, nice little site!

Camped on a weekday and it was quiet except for the free range cattle in the area. Good location to access tons of hikes in the area.

The area was beautiful. The camphost was great.We had a nice spot. The restrooms were the cleanest vault toilets I have ever seen. Even our neighboring campers were nice. What's not to love.

Great campground. However, most other campsites were having campfires despite the fire ban.

Great campsite on a nice lake. Very quiet and peaceful. The camp host, Jill, is the most friendly and helpful camp host I've ever met--a really awesome person!

Campsite and restroom were well taken care of, and camp host was super friendly and helpful. She directed us to leftover firewood and also lake access. Goose Lake access is very close and easy to get to. We would definitely stay again!
