We really enjoyed the whole camp, except for our specific Site. Site #9 was completely covered in slippery mud.

But everything else was great, and every other campsite looked better than ours.

Bathrooms not available but they had clean portapotties instead. Campground was great! We had a flat tire and several people including camp hosts offered assistance.

Great first experience! The campground host was very kind and informative! The site we camped in was perfect for our 2 tents! Lots of shade and right by the creek which the kids LOVED!

Currently the bathrooms on Loop A aren't operational and seemed like they hadn't been for a while. The campground managers were doing a great job as always but this was clearly beyond their control. Hope that higher ups get this addressed soon.

Group campsite C is a wonderful mostly covered site with lots of room for a large group. However, the posted 25 car limit is not anywhere close to being able to accommodate that many cars. We had to park three deep and had about 12 cars and two trailers. Site D is half the cost and has lots more room for parking. They only have four tables at that site though. Site C has a large table area, but you can't use all the tables since some have broken benches and some of the tabletops have holes. It is very close to the bathrooms that was very coinvent but could be noisy since you share the bathrooms with the three other group sites. There is a large grassy area that is in the sun but had fun playing volleyball. I would reserve at this campground again but would go with the less expensive Campsite D over C.

It would have been really nice to know that the campsites I was at were right next door to the port-o-potty. I would have chosen a different spot instead of smelling that all day and night.

It was a nice place for a weekend getaway. We lucked out and the weather cooperated wonderfully. Brigham City had a Art festival on Memorial Day weekend, which was nice to take in.

The biggest problem we had was that we were in the 'B' loop, a small loop tucked in the back that only has 5 sites. Even with a (albeit very small) "Campground Full" sign, we still had vehicles and atvs frequently, not from our loop, come driving through at faster than necessary speeds - specially since there were many young kids in out loop that weekend. Most of us in the loop were tempted to just block the entire loop off. It wouldn't have been a saftey hazard becuase we could just move the vehicle.

It would be nice if the hosts had access to a much bigger "Campground Full" sign and/or it said to not enter the loop if you don't have a reservation - or maybe people just need to learn to read.

The burned out restroom was an inconvenience, but at least they're getting that worked out. We couldn't find a water spigot any closer than group 'A' site, about 100yds away, which was a minor inconvenience also.

I love this campground but we were given no notice of the fact that the flushing toilets were out of order for the single group sites. There were only FOUR porta-potties for all the single sites for Memorial Weekend. Absolutely unacceptable. They got way too full it was disgusting. We should have been warned and there should have been way more porta-potties spread around the campground.

Bathrooms are closed, portable potties were not clean. And we did not got any update about the flushable toilets being out of service. Hosts this year need more customer service training! We've come every year for the past 4 years, but this visit was disappointing. Really hope things improve, or we probably won't be back.
