Everything went great! We were greeted by several staff who stopped in frequently to see if we needed anything, then when it was time to wrap up they were there to help out!

We had an amazing time. Our rental was very clean and there was trash cans provided which was very helpful. The staff working that day were such fun kind people. They checked up on us and helped in anyway they could, especially Melody. She was awsome! There was also plenty of options for the young kids to run and played while staying in view of their parents. I will not go anywhere else for my family events going forward! We absolutely loved it here!

Such a great place to have an event. The Park staff and hosts goes above and beyond caring and does everything they can to assure the event is perfect. I cannot recommend highly enough. 11/10 stars!

The park Ranger was helpful and friendly and the camp host went out of her way to ensure our family get-together at the Pioneer West shelter went smoothly. She ensured the shelter was clean and well-equipped, offered to help with a fire if we needed one in the afternoon, even came by to help us get a group picture we'll treasure for years to come. Really outstanding, friendly service.
