We stayed in the tent section site 57. It was clean upon arrival and convenient to the bath house while still having some privacy to the sites around it. We only stayed one night as we were traveling through but we will definitely return for another stay!

Great park!! We were on sites 12 and 13, it rained all week and it made it obvious that those sites could use some extra love. Need to fix drainage issues, put new gravel, and replace the concrete tables (so low to the ground my six foot husband couldn’t even sit at the table.

This place is pretty but nothing short of an out of control three ring circus. Loud adults, screaming kids, music playing (even an electric guitar), setting up in the middle of the night, chopping/splitting wood all night, over-occupancy in sites.....I left 2 days early, just couldn't take 3-4 hours sleep every night. I won't be back again.

Standing Indian is one of our favorite campouts. The hiking is amazing and the campground picturesque.
We were disappointed that in the other group sites (right next to our group site) there were RVs - their generator noise & smell took away from our experience.
We were in site A. The site is supposed to hold 20 people, however there are only 2 picnic tables - which comfortably hold 6-8 each. The addition of 2 picnic tables would be much appreciated.
The bathrooms - both the pit toilets & the full showers and toilets were immaculate.
