Always a good stay

We’ve been here twice now. First 2021 and again June 2024. Campground is well kept. Showers and facilities clean. Minutes from Donnelly Idaho for “the things you forgot”. Great views coming back again for sure.

Great! (If you can reserve a spot.)

We love this campground. We’ve been able to stay here twice, but it’s hard to get a reservation, unless it’s during the week. It’s got a great beach area, nicely paved sites, lots of stuff to rent and nice facilities. Right on Lake Cascade so you have lake views on one side and mountain views on the other, seriously beautiful. Shows off Idaho in a good way! We have found the camp hosts to be a bit over the top in most of the Cascade campgrounds, it’s like they are just sitting there, waiting to pounce if you make a mistake. So know your campground rules well or they will be grouchy with you.
