We have been coming here for years. But will probably not be back. We got to the campsite there is no water and the bathrooms were locked. We contacted the camp hosts and were told the water would be working soon but the men’s bathroom would remain closed because someone had made a huge mess in it. 💩. The women’s bathroom was open intermittently but locked a majority of the time. There was one hole in the ground available for the entire camp. As we are tent campers we rely on water and restrooms to have a good camping experience. Also the hosts were not friendly or accommodating and at times were rude when we spoke to them about the issues. It seemed they were too busy entertaining friends to do their host duties and clean the bathrooms thus they left them closed. My wife even offered to clean them and was rebuffed. Worst experience in 35 years of camping.

Pretty campground. The hosts were very nice and helpful. We stayed at site 5. It's nice, but out in the open. There is shade, but the provided table is in the sun most of the day. This site is so close to another one, we had no privacy and our neighbors were loud and inconsiderate. We would stay here again in a different site.

The bathrooms again were locked off and on all week. Was told the host that the forest service was aware but said they weren’t doing anything about it. BRING IN HONEYBUCKETS then!! There is 1 bathroom to accommodate 20+ camp sites and 1 bathroom to accommodate the group sites. Make sure to bring up water and heaven forbid you have an emergency to go to the bathroom, it’s a walk. We’ve been coming to this campground for over 50 years, but I am getting tired of the bathrooms and water being shut off and locked. Beautiful place, just use the money to fix the dang bathrooms since you charge so much already.
