We originally selected campsite 11 but our camp host gave us the option to switch to another available site that ended up being an even better fit for our family. We were right by the river and our kids were able to play for hours at campsite 7. Clean restrooms, and firewood available for purchase. Dave, our camp host, made everything very welcoming and friendly. We will return again next year!

The campground was awesome as usual. The campground host was awsesome. We've been camping at Dinner Station for many years. We count on the convenience of having a dumpster on site. This year the dumpsters were gone. Some said the S x S riders (non-campers) were using the Dinner Station dumpster as open to the public. There are solutions to this problem outside of simply removing the dumpsters. Please return dumpsters to Dinner Station and implement measures to discourage public use of dumpsters

Great campground and fantastic host. All sites look awesome, nice to have some trees for shade, the river nearby was nice for background sound. It is often windy though, and sun drops quickly being to close to the mountains. The rode through Taylor Park is very rough and rocky, beware.

The campground host, Dave Phillips, was awesome. Dinner Station was awesome as usual. We have camped here at Dinner Station for years. One of the reasons we camp here is the convenience of a trash dumpster. The dumpsters had been removed due to S x S users that were not registered guests using the dumpsters as a free public resource. We had to take trash to the Taylor Park Trading Post and pay $10 per bag to dispose of. Why can you not install some sort of padlock with a numeric code on site located dumpsters to insure that registered guests have the convenience of an on site trash dumpster?

Site 11 that we reserved did not accurately describe this site for an RV. It was to short and sloped way to much to use. Dave P. Campground host came to our rescue. We found a site that worked for our stay. Dave was so helpful during our stay, we look forward to staying where he is the campground host. We'll done Dave.
