GuideThis is out 2nd time here. Bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities are very clean and well maintained. Water sites are close together but the views are great. It’s very pleasant here.
ScoutThere are 11 or 12 sites- each are right on top of each other in a very small space. Very small. We looked at each site and only two have a level space for a small tent. Seriously- angles everywhere because it is not a flat space. My recommendation to the owner would be to cut the number in half, 5 or 6 sites AFTER you truck in some material to flatten the areas. This “campground “ screams money grab and ripoff. We continued to a different place and had a fabulous night. It would have sucked at the motel site.
ScoutVery nice camp spot. Private away from other spaces. Very nice site manager. Must be self contained, no hook up amenities available. Trash dumpster on site.
TravelerI loved this base camp and the camp store! Everyone was very nice and loved it there.
TravelerIts a really cool spot to explore. I went when the water was low and was able to adventure where youre not meant to and man was it a blast.Found my own pride rock(lion king) and was able to meditate in silence and be away from all the boaters and atvs was super peaceful with a water near by. The tent campers around me were really solid people aswell.
GuideVery nice with easy access with wonderful hosts.
ScoutVery nice staff friendly,everything met our expectations, will definitely book a week for next summer.
GuideNice campground, we enjoyed our site next to the cabin that our friends stayed in. One thing to note, lots of returning seasonal campers.
The campground offers lots of fun activities, such as bingo, karaoke, and live music. The new owners plan on new upgrades as time goes on.
GuideMay Camping Weekend Recap – Moose Alley Magic (Even in a Cold Snap!) ❄️🏕️
We weren’t expecting a cold spell this late in May, but Mother Nature had her own plans! Even with the surprise chill, we had such a wonderful time at our campsite nestled along Moose Alley. While it’s near a road, don’t worry—it’s not a main highway, just a quiet local path that adds to the peaceful vibe of the area.
Though the moose kept their distance, we did spot some fresh footprints—which made the search feel extra magical! The surrounding views of the mountains and water were breathtaking, and there were plenty of short and long hikes to explore for all experience levels.
We brought my Grandma and Service Dog along, and both were welcomed with kindness. The folks who braved the cold weather like us were so sweet, and the community feel at the campground made the chilly temps totally worth it. Huge shoutout to the park rangers—they’re around, approachable, and truly there to help, so don’t hesitate to ask them anything you need.
Pro tip: Buy those fire starters! They’re a lifesaver in cold, damp weather and made our fires easy and cozy every night.
All in all, cold weather or not, it was a heartwarming weekend surrounded by nature, lovely people, and good vibes. Moose Alley—we’ll definitely be back (hopefully next time with a moose sighting too)!
