I’ve been coming here since I was a kid with my parents, and now I visit regularly with my own kids. It’s honestly one of my favorite places to camp! I drive from Montana to visit once a year.
This is a very family-friendly campground, and there are always lots of kids around. The main campground and S’mores Loop tend to be busier, with kids playing and people out and about. If you’re looking for a quieter site, I’d recommend staying up top in the Birds Eye area. Just keep in mind that there isn’t any shade up there, but if you have a pop-up canopy, you’re all set!
The grounds are always clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The bathrooms are SO clean and always have plenty of hot water. We have a camper and still choose to shower in the campground bathrooms because they’re that nice! It is an older facility, and of course, it’s still a public bathroom, so I’d recommend shower shoes, but the staff does an amazing job keeping everything clean.
You’ll constantly see staff cleaning, emptying trash bins, and taking care of the grounds. Whatever the management is doing here, they’re clearly doing something right. I wish more campgrounds were managed this way!
There are lots of shaded campsites, nice playgrounds, disc golf courses, paved biking paths, a lake for swimming, a boat ramp, dump station, and plenty of guest parking. There’s something for everyone, especially families.
I have AT&T cell service and had full bars/service in the Birds Eye area, which was a nice bonus.
I highly recommend this campground and will definitely continue coming back with my family!
