My favorite site for camping. With the mountain stream running through the grounds and trails, it’s perfect.

This campground was absolute perfection in my opinion! We chose a spot directly in front of the water and you could hear it every minute of the day. The wildlife was wonderful, one morning a group of elk came right through the campground. The paved roads made bike riding so simple. The bathrooms were always clean. We loved the location at the bottom of the park. I absolutely loved this campground!

We reserved site A2 for our 5th wheel, having given the dimensions during the reservation process. We drove q0 hrs to get there only to find, after spending 45 minutes trying a variety of ways to get the ca,per into the space, that it was impossible. We left and stayed at a KOA.
