We were planning on snowshoeing at Paradise so we stayed here for a night to get an early start without the long drive. The site has hook-ups and the staff were very friendly. We checked in after they closed but they left us a map and easy instructions on where our site was. No private at all...right off the road. But it worked great for what we needed. My two sons were not impressed. They are used to campgrounds that have trails and what not to explore.
