Beautiful campground and wonderful camp host. Our only complaint is the campground rd accesses private summer homes too and there were construction vehicles going by early every morning.

The wildflowers were BEAUTIFUL! The sites are very large with lots of room between them. The road from Alta to the campground is steep with several large ditches that require much caution with a trailer. We have a 17 ft. Casita and felt the drive was challenging, but the end result was worth it!
