Camp host (Curtis) went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a good experience. After the initial recommendations for things to do in the area, he came up with more ideas and recommendations to help match what we were looking for as tent campers that were staying for 13 days (nearby showers and laundry). He came to our rescue a couple of times by giving the car battery a jump start.

Due to my preference for reserved status rather than the gamble of first come first serve, I had to reserve two sites to make my 13 day stay. We secured site 26 for 8 nights and 27 for 5 nights. Both are amazing sites, very spacious and have mostly level spots for a couple of tents. 26 has a better view of the lake, but 27 is more shaded and closer to the bathroom. Camp host Curtis went above and beyond to ensure I could charge my phone without draining my car battery dead, he was very helpful and thoughtful. He gave us many ideas of things to see and do, and though we mostly just went to the lake with our kayaks to explore and fish, his recommendation to use the laundry at Mountain Meadows was very helpful to us long- stay campers.

The only thing that I didn't like was the map has the bathrooms located in different locations than they actually are.
