The two couples managing the campground are both absolutely awesome. Cheryl and Carl are incredibly personable. The sites are consistently clean and organized as well as the bathrooms. Enjoy this place so very much.

Rented a site with electricity although we were in a tent and not an RV. Unfortunately, the standard plug for an extension cord was blocked off and we were unable to use any electricity. We primarily rented a site with electricity due to one of our group needing to use a C-PaP machine at night.

the only confusion that occurred was when I moved from a reserved site to a first come first serve site. host was telling me I needed go to them prior to occupying vacant site which made no sense whatsoever.

Great stay as always at Boulder. Stayed at 12 then moved to 42. 12 was beautiful and it was nice to be close to the water for fishing. 42 was great. The campers next to us hosted a chili cook off. Boulder is our favorite place. Restrooms and shower houses are always clean and well maintained.
