We had a great camp host that greeted us and told us about some things to do in the area. the camp grounds were clean. The bathrooms on the west side of the camp start gathering flys in large numbers by mid day. The bathrooms on the East side are much nicer. All things considered it was a really good site.

There were only two dumpsters for the whole campground, which were over a mile away from this site. Still haven't fixed the water lines. The camp hosts were great!

Very disturbing that dumpster has been removed. First we lost the water, now the trash services. What are we paying the high rental fees for? Camp host was not extremely friendly or accommodating to our needs. When we placed cones in the drive to help keep unnecessary traffic down, she objected, then two days later said it was OK. Seemed more interested in being a policeperson than helping us have a good time. Seriously bad attitude about our potential neighbors, the Barons Motorcycle Club. We have camped with them as our neighbors for several years, and have never had any problem with them They act as Gentlemen and Ladies. Just wanting to enjoy the outdoors as we do. Host did come and check the restrooms, although nothing was ever really needed. We are mostly self-contained.

This was an excellent site and the camp hosts were wonderful! This being our groups first time to this area, we were a little unsure what to expect as far as space/water/parking/etc. The paved loop is where the campers/RVs had to park, in addition to all the other vehicles, with three main walking paths leading out from the loop, each having many tent spots/firepits. It would be difficult to have space along the loop for more than 8 or so campers plus 25 vehicles (our group only had 4 campers, so we had plenty of room), but there is plenty of space for 25+ tents throughout the sites. Water was not on at any of the spickets (as expected from the previous comments). When the camp hosts came by on the first day, they handed us parking passes, which, from our understanding, were good for parking in the group campsite and also for all the trailheads/parking lots along Mirror Lake Highway. Overall, great experience and would recommend to large groups, as long as everyone doesn't bring a camper.

The camp is great. Campers are isolated from others in the pines. Beautiful site. The only downside for the cost is no water and little maintenance. There was no garbage container provided this year. The camp host wanted us to haul our trash to another campground. This site has been a tradition for years. Continued degradation of services may have us looking for a new site.
