Campground host was the greatest. Campground was clean and quiet. Beautiful views of the mountains and sunset. Was at least 10 degrees cooler at the campground. Which made it even better.

People partied until 3 or 4 in the morning, completely took over the closest toilet and trashed it. 6 different cars going the wrong way on the one way street while we were trying to back into our spot. Those same vehicles parked across from us blocking the road and coming and going all night. By gar the worst experience we have had anywhere.

The day in late June was cool and a little wet. We decided to go for the evening to our reserved cam anyway. The weather held, and the camp we reserved was tidy and wonderful. Thanks for the facility. Our small family reunion enjoyed the site very much.

Beautiful campground with amazing trails and sites. But also the best smelling vault toilets I have ever been in!!! I know it sounds strange, but it was such a pleasant surprise to walk in and smell bleach rather than the normal “I don’t want to think about what that is” smell. The camp host does an amazing job and she was so pleasant when we had questions!

The host at the campground was very outgoing and wonderful to deal with. The bathrooms were well taken care of and the campsite's were clean. She is the best host that the campground has had in a long time.

The shaded area, surrounded by large trees, provided excellent privacy for each campground. The camp host was incredibly friendly and helpful. There’s also a great trail nearby, and it’s not too far from Lava Hot Springs!

Love this campground! Accessible, spots aren't terribly close to each other, and all within walking distance to the bathroom!
Scout Mountain is gorgeous at night!
