The campground is always clean. I like the new process that is in place where the camp host comes and introduces themselves and gives you a sticker for your vehicle. Very nice touch and the hosts have been wonderful

I love this place:) definitely coming back! Quite and super friendly staff. Small but perfect! Mountains are beautiful and they’re really cool river. I was only here for one day so missed out all hiking. So recommend you see the lake. Apparently there’s moose around in the morning! Driving there is like being in lord of rings movie:)

The camp host couple Rhonda and John was the best. They helped me to be able to stay at the campsite for 3 nights instead of having to move spots. They took very good care of me. I am looking forward to seeing them again for my reservation over Labor Day Weekend!

Great campground. Clean, spacious, quiet, and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. Fire pit, picnic table, and food lockers at each camp site. Very close to hiking trails and a small fishing lake with easy access.
