The campground is nice with many different hiking trails. We stayed on loop 5 which I loved. It was up the side of the mountain and felt very much like forest camping. The only issues I ran into were on the weekend it was noisy at night (neighbors up playing guitar and singing until midnight), lots of dogs barking, showers on Loop 5 weren't the best but still had great water pressure. I would definitely stay again, but only during the week.

Beautiful campground but there were 10+ dogs continuously barking while we were there and the camp hosts didn't do anything about it. I really wish hosts were more involved with making sure campgrounds stay peaceful for everyone and kicking out noisy campers.

Great campsites in loop 5. Very secluded and private. Recommend weekday stay. Lots of hiking possibilities in the area.

We stayed ther twice this sommer with 2 different set of grandchildren. Both times they ask if we could come back next year with the whole family. Very clean park especially the restrooms and showers. We look forward to returning next summer.

We purposely chose the site because of it being across from the restrooms/shower house. My husband is disabled and the site is mostly paved going to the restrooms/shower house. Imagine our surprise when we got to Standing Indian for our 2 week stay to see the facilities were closed. We visited the camp store and inquired about this issue. We were told it would take 3 or more weeks for the parts to come in to repair the plumbing. We wish we had been informed of this issue by Recreation.Gov before we arrived at the campground.
