The campground was clean, quiet and easy to get to. We visited Devil's Kitchen and I believe Payson Lakes. It was a fun experience for our family's yearly camp.

This is one of our favorites!! Love this place every time, only downfall this year was the infestation of box elder bugs. We have been here multiple times and never had an issue but this year was awful. No cell service but who needs it when you’re leaving to be away. Will go again for sure!!!

The campground itself is nice it's quiet was peaceful you could go for a walk and join nature play in the creek and just relax. As far as the camp host they were lazy the bathrooms were dirty the campground was dirty I don't have nice things to say about the campground host I think they're lazy they were never there.
