What a pleasant camping experience despite the afternoon T-storms. We stayed in site 14 loop A in a 21’ Coachmen Nova. Site was perfectly level no leveling needed. Site was spotless and all equipment functional. Camp host friendly and helpful in information about trails. Camp store well stocked and provided a handmade trail map that was a bit difficult to follow but served us ok.
Restroom and bath house exceptional and very clean.
There is NO cell service period but there is satellite texting possible if you have the latest update, who knew?
The variety of site configurations is nice if you want open, pull thru or secluded. Several double sites in each loop. Highly recommend Standing Indian so much that we convinced ourselves to return two weeks later this August.

The campground was very clean and very quiet. We were very impressed with the staff for their knowledge, hard work, and keeping the grounds safe. We will definitely be back.
