Unbelievably beautiful place for nature lovers and place to relax. I just wished the lake alpine would be stocked with trout more often.

Website stated our 32 ft. Fifth wheel would fit in campsite but site is very narrow with trees and large rocks so we were unable to open our slideouts. Don't understand why the large rocks are so close to campsite pad where we park trailer. Requested refund for all four nights since we never stayed overnite and only got refund for two nights. Total rip off and had to move to another campground 40 min. away.

This is the best campground! The hosts are phenomenal! We had a quick thunderstorm one night and there was literally rivers running on either side of our motorhome. The next day as it dried out, the host was out with a leaf blower literally blowing the whole roadway clean of debris. Now that’s dedication and pride to his sites. All 22 sites I believe are clean. It’s peaceful and beautiful.
