Wonderful campground. They delivered firewood that we purchased. Bathrooms are clean but only one women's bathroom was open and the hand dryer did not work......we camped early April and the water in the bathroom was COLD. The shower house had warm (almost hot) water and you cannot control the temp.
The hike to Standing Indian is beautiful! The actual campground is very well taken care of. We enjoyed our stay and we will be back!

There were too many campground hosts that seem to be permanently in place and their campsites were an eye sore. The area was great and relaxing.

The campground was terrific. Rate it a 5 for friendly staff. Bathrooms cleaned at least twice daily. I stayed in first loop site 5 next to bathhouse. The creek was beautiful. Firewood on site for sale. Very reasonable price. Bears are in the area! The only negative comment is when I explained to the staff that I was moving on to my next location they talked about the location was horrible. It turned out that it was a very decent place and enjoyed it very much.
