The camp ground host gave our reserved camp site away although we had made a reservation. The host was gone when we arrived at check in time. There was no sign indicating when they would return and they were gone for 2 days. We wasted a 1/2 a day of our time waiting for the host to return and ultimately gave up and made alternate arrangements. The situation created by the host really took away a lot of the anticipation and excitement of enjoying a couple days of camping.

What a beautiful day! The location was perfect and peaceful. The sites were spacious to park our travel trailer and our truck. Great stay!

We love this campground, the only problem we had in July was, we had a few rain storms and all the water from 11 and 12 ended up under our camper. Couldn't really enjoy sitting outside in the evening. We was in 9, our favorite spot.

The host is wonderful and very helpful. The visitors center is very close and well worth visiting. Campground is perfectly quiet, which we liked. There are a lot of great hikes that are not very far away!

The camp host had 3 dogs. One ran loose the whole time. Wandered through our campsite several times. The other 2 were tethered but very annoying if anyone walked up to the hosts site they sounded aggressive. I noticed several people just turned around and left.
