Chillin
Friendly host. Decent sized, clean bathrooms with flush toilets. Walking distance to duck pass. Arrived in the dark but found site pretty easily.
Beautiful and quiet
We loved our site. It wasn’t too close to other sites, although you could see them. We loved having the creek across the road. The campground has nice access to hiking trails, and Lake Mary. It is outside of the bustle of town, but close enough to conveniently get what you need.

Gorgeous and close to everything
Campsite is clean, gorgeous and close to a million and one recreational activities. Host is friendly. Fire pits have grills on them. We were at site 16, which is super close to water, restrooms, and both Mammoth Creek and Coldwater Creek.
