Facilities are wonderful. The cleanliness of the restrooms, the BBQ grills and picnic areas were exceptional. We particularity love the amphitheatre and begin our day with a religious service there.

My husband didn't like the noise from a party that was being held in an adjacent group site.

Had a very loud and obnoxious neighbor who was apparently living full time in the campground. Camp hosts were fully aware and apologetic, but..... the guy ran a portable generator constantly, was loud and had really crude friends hanging out with him. Nearly ruined the entire visit for us. Probably will not camp here again.....

Water system was in process of being upgraded which was inconvenient, but campground is nicely maintained. Close to Ely which is an undiscovered gem.
