The park host was not there, and the door to the yurt was locked. Hung around for 2 hours before someone came and opened the door. This yurt is down wind from the pit toilets and the whole camp ground smelled awful. But the smell inside the yurt was so powerful we ended up cutting our trip short. It was really bad.

The campground was practically deserted. It was nice and quiet. Unfortunately the vault toilets were a deal breaker. Get some plumbing and we'll be back.

Yurt 4 has no functional electric heat; the stay was otherwise great.

Yurt 5 was lovely and clean, campsite was good. Our struggles was the amount of fumes coming from bathroom was nearly unbearable at times ....wasn't like this at our last stay. We did see them coming and cleaning the inside of the room. We have loved visiting the campsite and have stayed in this yurt multiple times.

We stayed at yurt 5 last year and had an excellent experience. We got the yurt this year due to the fact that it has heating, but we stayed in yurt 4. We stayed 3 nights and, unfortunately, the heating did not work. This was very unfortunate as we have a 3 year old and a 3 month old. So, the trip didn’t go as planned. Besides the heat not working, we do enjoy the actual campground. We love the lake and the kids had a great time playing at the beach.
