The camp post Bruce was amazing. He was so nice. The last 3 years had camp posts that were the worst of the 35 plus years we have been going. So nice to have a great camp post again.

Beautiful area. Kids had a blast, even with the downpour. Our tents ended up with puddles so we crammed into one trailer and had an adventure. Great trails and wildlife. Loved the little stream through our site

The campground was a fun place. I really liked not having anyone behind us and feeling like we had the entire mountain to ourselves.

We were traveling back to Idaho and this was a perfect place to spend the night. The trees and the cooler weather were a welcome relief from heat. The camp host was outstanding! He did much more than I would expect to enhance our stay. Truly an asset!!
