Campground was excellent. Camp Host was knowledgeable and helpful. Rest rooms were immaculate. Recommend hiking the Alpine Way trail to the lake. Paddle Boarding and swimming were great. The water is so pristine.

This is one of my favorite places. It's getting more difficult to get reservations due to demand, but I'll keep doing so as long as I'm able.

Site 10 was a wonderful tent site, with plenty of open space for kids and dogs to play within the site. Lots of shade throughout the day and plenty of trees for hammock hangs, mosquitos were moderate. Only issue was the vault toilets were horrific smelling, worst vault toilets we've experienced so far.

Campsites are well spaced to provide privacy. The Camp hosts were super nice and offered helpful advice. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. A great location still within easy drive to Redfish Lake and Stanley.

El campground esta realmente cerca al lago apenas cruzando el camino, los paisajes increíbles, lleno de venados, baños limpios, agua potable, un lugar para que hagas tu fogata y parrilla.
