The Group site at Malad Summit campground was great. There was lots of shade and the dedicated tent sites made it super easy to set up a couple of the tents we had. There were other places that also made great tent sites. The very long picnic tables were great for eating, crafting and gathering in general. The fire pit and seating were the perfect place to cook s'mores and tinfoil dinners. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. The camp host was friendly and helpful. All of the adults that came up said that this would be a great place to hold a family Reunion. I look forward to coming back.

Spacious group area, lots of shade and close to a water fall and things to do. Perfect group area for a family reunion with all the picnic tables, large fire pit and well kept bathrooms in the camp.
