We had a hard time getting our 30' Airstream camper down the hill into our site. It was very buggy. John

We have been staying here annually for over 18 years and have never had a problem with the excellent facilities. This year there were issues with the toilets and showers but the hosts did what they could to remedy the situation. They were very nice and worked hard to help us through our stay

Staff/Camp hosts were very helpful and super friendly. All sites and facilities cleaner than any other campground I have been to. Excellent.
Be aware boat launch is busy with motorboats heading south or into BWCA at Fall Lake. I guess there are special permits, so you will have boaters zooming around near the campgrounds.
