We have camped here twice on our trips to other places. But now we want to return and spend a few days in the peace and quiet.

Each site was not completely separated but had a good amount of privacy. The camp host was extremely welcoming and patrolled the area well. Each site has some trees, so great for hammocking!

Our campsite was nice and in good condition as well as quite clean. However, since the water was turned off, I have rated this campground lower than I normally would. It is a very nice facilty with many trees. Without water, it created a problem for us. The vault toilets were clean.

We loved this CG. High elevation and cooled off at night. Nice big sites. Quiet and clean. Nice cooking stands.

This has become a favorite campground for us. The work that was done to upgrade the campground is amazing. We love being next to the fabulous mountain biking trails.

You should have posted no water when booking since there hasn’t been water here in over 24 months!

Spent the night there in early Sept 2022, very pleasant, but way to hot to be there in the daytime. Heat dome weather when we were there. Probably a great place to be in Oct. or Nov.
