First time camping here. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and camp-sites. Camp hosts were routinely on their golf carts keeping the campgrounds clean. Big thank you to the camp hosts. The lake and mountains are breathtaking. Close access to the creek made it fun for our kids too. We would camp here again.
