The campground hosts are great people. Accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. They keep the campground and facilities clean and enjoyable. The Huffman’s are incredibly good at their jobs and responsibilities.

Amazing camp location right next to Colwell lake. A nice walking trail wraps around the lake and is accessible right from the site. The site was very clean and the host was friendly. Our only issue was a neighbor that ran their generator 24/7 and played loud music until 1-2am.

We absolutely loved this campground. Our site was huge and the whole campground was kept very clean. The trail around the lake was groomed so well you could use a stroller or wagon. It is close to pictures rocks and so much more in the area. The host was super nice and worked hard to keep it clean.
