This campground is beautiful! Despite the campsites being close together it is very quiet and peaceful. The campfire ring is big and tall so we felt secure building a campfire with no risk causing a wildfire. The downside was the ATV trail that takes off from the campground is very rough and scary!

Nice campground. Well kept. Great Camp Host. Beautiful Forest. Good camp grounds. Nice tables. DUMP STATION AND WATER NOT WORKING. But discount for that. I would go again but plan on no dump station and water.

This is a great site. You have ATV trails right out of the campground. Bear lake north beach is an hour away. Oneida narrows is about 20 mi west for tubing and kiacking.

Bathrooms not cleaned. Teenage boys cutting down live trees and being obnoxious, camp host did nothing. Wouldn't recommend this campground unless your with your ward of 50.

We love camping here and have done so for several years! Our only disappointment was the camp host had 2 dachshunds that were loose twice and charged my leashed dogs. After the second time we had to walk to the bathrooms farther away or drive to make sure this didnt happen a third time. The camp host apologized for this but if the rules say keep your animals leashed should the camp host have to abide but the rules also.

I love this campground. And it's close to Bear Lake. Campground is always clean and bathroom. The couple that are the Hosts are very nice , friendly. I needed a little help this last visit and the host was so kind to help me. And we like that we can take 4 wheelers there.
