"We actually stayed in a cabin and did not camp in a tent, as the rest of our group did for our annual retreat. However, we were at the campsites a good part of the day. The camp host was amazing! Friendly, accommodating, and kept both campsites clean. The group already booked the campsite for next year!"
"Stayed here again with a group last weekend. Beautiful group campground! Clean, well maintained. Covered ramada with picnic tables, electricity, water, food storage lockers and big trash bins. Another area with a firepit and lots of tent sites. I'm not sure of his name but there was a gentleman who stopped by daily to empty garbages and maintain restrooms. He even brought a cute pair of gloves to one of the toddlers in the group who had been complaining of cold hands. :). Will be back again every fall!"
"This is a wonderful site built by us taxpayers, but operated by a concessionaire operation under special use permit. Not sure what the Forest Service was thinking here but the place seems underutilized. The only people getting good use of the place seem to be the caretakers who live on site. Lucky dogs."
"Excellent group site. I have used it for scouts and personal gatherings with multiple families. The current host, Roger was very friendly and did an excellent job keeping up the site during our weekend stay."
"Very well kept and secure site. Bathrooms were clean and stocked. Site was clean and functional. The area is beautiful and great for kids. Other campers being less considerate of others experience was the only detracting issue which is not the fault of the management of site and goes more people not respecting others."
