Had a great stay. Only reason for the one star off was the lack of communication regarding rules on the camp site on recreation. No where is it listed on the amount of tents an vehicles are allowed on the website when I booked. Overall I enjoyed the campsite, it’s very peaceful with a beautiful view of the lake. The campground hosts often drive around and checks in on everyone. It’s mainly older people camping so it’s very quiet. Curfew is at 10. Definitely not the place to go if you’re looking to be loud. It’s more of a chill campsite. The hosts were really nice and understanding. I’d definitely go again!

The area was so clean! The camp host was lovely and willing to help with firewood, a car permit, etc. Best campsite host I've ever had. There were lovely short walks in the area. We only stayed one night but I would definitely go back for a weekend.

The scenery was exquisite, the campground host was attentive and helpful and kept the area spotless, and the space was level and well maintained. The signs along the walking path really helped us learn about the area. Our two favorites spots were the bench with the sign "Look for trout" where we sat and watched the trout swimming, and the "Smell the tree" where we learned that Ponderosa Pine trees bark smells like butterscotch. Our favorite activity turned out to be sitting by the fire ring and watching the stars come out. Clear skies and no light pollution.
