Camp host was very helpful. We got a relatively level site which allowed us to level out trailer without unhooking our tow vehicle. Also was a good site

Beautiful location. Host Jennifer and Jason were amazing. The Halloween party is very cool and something you don’t see out west. Great sites, clean restrooms and lots to see in the area.

Unfortunately this was the worst campground I’ve stayed at in all my travels. The campground bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There was trash overflowing a small trash bin and a large puddle of water sitting in front of the toilet with toilet paper all over the floor. The toilet paper had a stain on it and was all stuck together. The three large dumpsters to the entire campground were all full and over flowing. The place looks unmaintained and abandoned.

We had a great time. Truck or treaters were well behaved. Only complaint is that the women’s bathroom could have used some additional attention over the weekend.
