Nice campground. Super nice staff. Water and dump available and included in the price! My only complaint is the space for truck and camper is too small and too close to the loop road. Included water and dump keeps it at 5 stars!! Oh, and all paved roads to get there.

Love this campground! Beautiful, peaceful, and spacious campsites. Very clean bathrooms and showers. Excellent hosts - Charlie, Sandy & Steve - all very friendly and hardworking. Their love and protection of the forest and its wildlife is really appreciated by most of us who love camping in the national parks. Will definitely return here!

We were alarmed with the amount of rodents we experienced running around the campsites. The campsite we stayed at was infested. Our neighbors in campsite 39 were feeding the rodents throughout the day -ground squirrels, voles, squirrels, chipmunks. I went to notify the camp host and was shocked for him to say “it’s fine to feed the rodents.” Considering the amount of diseases that rodents can p...

We have reservations for later this year but will be canceling. Also will be trying to contact explor us - the company that runs this campground to inform them about the issue which I would consider common sense knowledge.
