Joe, the camp host, made this an amazing experience! He was alway close by and willing to help with anything we needed. He truly became just part of the family! I can't wait to go back and do it again! The place was beautiful with beautiful shade trees everywhere and amazing hiking and horse back riding trails. Great location as it was close to town.

This is the worst group campsite we have ever reserved. The tables in the eating area were in terrible condition with boards bending down and paint chipping off. The site is supposed to be for 200 people and was really expensive. We didn't need a site that big, but it was the only one we could find available at around 6 weeks before our event. The area for the tents does not look nearly big enough to hold tents for 200 people. The tent area is just out in the trees, no clearly delineated areas, so we kind of just put the tents wherever the ground was flat enough.
The bathrooms were were the worst part. The boys bathroom toilets broke and wouldn't flush and got filled with poo before we could tell the young men to stop using them. The camp host came and locked the bathroom up so everyone had to share the women's bathroom. The bathrooms were also just disgusting. They looked like they hadn't been used for months. There were spiders in their webs in the corners, dead bugs all over the floor. It was not worth the $500+ we spent to reserve the site. We will never camp there again. We do not recommend it at all.

Pros: We loved the campsite, it had refreshing shade, gorgeous trails and creek side walks, and the campsites themselves were clean. The shade provided privacy and we thoroughly enjoyed the area! The price was also fantastic for the area!
Cons: When we arrived, our site (which we reserved and paid for in advance) had been taken by another camper who was reluctant to move. Luckily, the host did insist (politely) on him moving, but this made it so that we weren't able to set up my mom's tent until after dark (the camper took a long time to take down his site). The camper put his receipt/paid notice literally on top of our reservation tag, so that was frustrating that it was allowed.
The worst, though, was that the bathrooms were absolutely filthy and horribly smelly. We've been camping in countless sites our whole lives, we've seen some gnarly restrooms, but I am telling you, even my 3 year old refused to use the restroom (without knowing our reactions). He kept holding it in because he didn't want to go in there. It was really gross. We did tell the host when he checked in and he said he'd take care of it, but as far as we could tell, the only change was the addition of an odor eliminator, which helped a tiny bit, but it didn't help the unsanitary condition of the toilet itself, or the floor, walls, etc. it was bad. Obviously, if you have your own restroom, you don't need to worry about that, but if not, that's a consideration to make when reserving.
Lastly, we received emails that there wasn't any water at the site during our reservation (kind of a bummer, but out of anyone's control, no big deal, we packed it in), but it turned out there was water available and we didn't receive any updates. We discovered it ourselves and used the tap during the camp. I would have loved to know that it was working somehow so that we could use it for the whole camp to wash hands, etc. (messy toddlers and preteen explorers).
Over all, we had a wonderful time! It was beautiful.

Loved the campsite and the yurt! Beautiful! But I never received my deposit back even though the camp host checked everything over and we signed the form. It’s been over 6 weeks now. We have wanted to go back but $200 for one night is extremely expensive.
