    Highland Glenn Ranch

    Quite mountain retreat!

    Lovely quiet spot, surrounded by birds and frog and other critters. Mountains and canyons around you. Amazing views of the terrain. Thrilling thunder and lightning storm passed through on our trip giving a cool experience.

    Pearrygin Lake State Park Campground

    A quick stop over

    Easy to get a last-minute reservation, clean bathrooms and showers, and the camping area was well kept. Would stay again!

    Goat Creek Sno-Park

    Good place to sleep

    Nothing special. Just a parking lot a little off the highway. People are rolling in untill about 10:30 and start leaving at 6. Clean pit toilet. Nothing wrong with it, great place just to sleep and keep moving.

    Shady Pines Resort

    This place is a hidden gem!

    Relaxing stay, great panoramic water view and excellent customer service. Our dogs were happy playing in the water and watching the deer, geese and herons. Good WiFi. I really liked the bistro lights in the evening. We drove through the other 2 campgrounds in the area to compare - Shady Pines was definitely the best choice!

    Sun Cove Resort

    Beautiful Resort, Incredible People, Great Fishing

    This campground is absolutely worth paying for, there are water hook ups, and restrooms, a laundry facility and cabins for rent if you don't want to stay in a tent or in a camper. They have boats for rent in this incredible saltwater lake and it's a wonderful place to bring kids. There is a water trampoline and a place to swim and paddle boat rentals and more. This trout fishing is world class.
