This place is AMAZING!

If you want camp with a huge group of people, this camp is an Incredible Spot! I’ve stayed 3 different summers and every time has been one of the highlights of my summer! So many things at the camp to do and trails nearby. It is hard to get reservations, so that can be tough. All the “alpine” shelters that you sleep in have 3 walls and the wall that’s missing faces the river and has a fireplace in front of each one. Be prepared for mice!! Every single thing you leave in the pantry or shelter keep air tight because they are relentless! There a large area for games! And a large area for a camp fire (and it’s an amphitheater type set up) but if it’s fire season you am not be able to have one. The large pavilion is great on those raining nights too! Nearby is one of my favorite trails, Iron Mountain, it’s a must do!
