The Best Experience at a Campground

I arrived July 3rd, the first of a group of 8 ladies from Salt Lake City, UT. Driving up to the campground I was in awe by the views of the mountains, the streams, rivers, lakes, and campground.

As soon as I drove into the campground the host, Kelly greeted me with a huge smile and willingness to find me the perfect spot for me and the ladies.

Never in all of my camping experiences have I ever had a host that is not only 100% invested in his grounds but as well as his guests. I watched him closely. He knew all of the names throughout the campground. He would stop and visit multiple times to check on us. We connected and he is a friend for life now.

He kept his campground spotless. When I got there my spot was beautifully raked. It was amazing. He is amazing.

If you have the choice between any lakes in this area, you need to choose this one!!

Thank you Kelly for making our trip so amazing and memorable! You are the best!!! You truly are an awesome guy!

Amazing campground

Situated next to Pettit Lake this campground served as a base camp while we explored the nearby hikes (Alice & Farley). Helpful host. Clean pit toilet. Water accessible in an adjacent trailhead (Tin Cup) parking lot. Campsites are well spaced. All sites are FF. $18/night. No cell coverage.

Only concern we had was that our site #13 was buggy given its proximity to the lake. Next time we will pick a site farther from the lake.

2020 campground not what it was in 2019

I stayed here in September of 2019 and loved it! The camp host was great and the campground was clean.  The water spigot was by the trailhead and and older pump style but effective.  I went July 2020 and there was no host, campground was tidy but certainly not the clean it was before, and the water spigot was broke.  No water.
