We Found This Campground On This App. The Reservation System Was Easy To Access And The Credit Card Process Was Fast And An Email Confirmation Was Quickly Received. The Campground Has Basic FHU Sites. We Had A Pull-through That Was Easy To Set Up In. The Sewer Pipe Was Set In The Ground In A Water Meter Type Box Which Made The It Impossible For Us To Use. The Showers And Bathrooms Were Clean And Modern. The Water Was HOT Which Made For A Relaxing Shower. We Slept Well And When We Arose To Coffee And Quiche At The Cafe. Excellent Food And Service. This Campground Served Of Needs Well And We Would Definitely Stay Again.

My husband and I both noticed that the Two showers had to share a single bench in a common area. The shower didn’t have a hook to hang items on. My shower bag and clothes had to sit on the floor in the shower.

First off- no fire pits. We paid to tent camp but had to leave (no refunds) because there were no fire pits provided and it was low 40’s at night so we had no way to keep warm. Nowhere on the website indicated there was no fire pits (no fire bans just literally didn’t provide pits to have fires). This camp spot is also right off the highway so it’s super windy and no trees or anything for wind block or any type of privacy. The guy running it was really nice and they do have a food mart/bar which could have been cool had we stayed. I think this would good for someone in a camper who’s just passing through for the night. I thought it was pretty spendy for a tent spot but they do have showers so we were willing to pay.

If you book on line which is the only way you can book that i no of the change for credit cards is the highest i have seen plus you pay the entire amount at booking. The cancellation is also very steep. The store sells chips and soda. The propane was 5 dollars a gallon but 35 miles away it was 3.50 a gallon. Never used the restrooms. Verizon was 1 bar and just this side of useless. There wifi took up the slack. It's also has swamp on three sides very buggy.

Beautiful and well maintained little RV park. We had the most gorgeous views of the mountains from our spot! Adorable little general store with a nice variety of food, wine/beer, rv supplies and gifts. One of our favorite spots now and we will definitely be back!

The campground was clean and well maintained and the views were amazing. The store has everything you may need and the cafe had the best ice cream. The site was a bit pricey for water and sewer only but they did have an outdoor concert and there was plenty of activities for the kids. Laundry was free for all guests.

We stayed here on our way to Colorado from Glacier National Park. It appears to be a good mid-point between there and Yellowstone.
As stated by other reviewers, you do have to call ahead to be escorted to your spot. My husband wasn't a fan of this policy, so was already predisposed to disliking this campground before we arrived.
They don't have a lot of full hookup sites, and the one we were squeezed into was tight and narrow. There was a huge rock that we worried about hitting. There were two sewer connections at each site which was very convenient.
But once we were settled, everything was great. The campground is very well-maintained, and the playground for the kids looked very new. Picnic tables at each site.
I do wish we could have had a campfire. There were no fire rings present.

New ownership and the place appears well maintained. Seems overpriced for the location, freeway noise and behind a store. The new owner is very strict so read the sign that says call for guidance to your site. It makes him very mad if you don’t see it and call.

We usually spend a night on our way to and from our own RV campground in Alaska each year, even though it is overpriced for what you get. Not anymore!!!!!
We recently stopped and when I went inside to get a spot the young man told me to see the man sitting out front in the side by side. I went outside and waited patiently as he was talking with another person. They continued chatting (what sounded like BS’ing from what I could gather) for quite some time without acknowledging me, even though they were quite aware I was standing there with a credit card in my hand and could see we pulled up in an RV. I got tired of this after 5-10 minutes and politely asked how much longer they thought they would be. The reply was… “I’m trying to run a business here”. I explained that I was just trying to see how much longer I needed to wait so I could plan my evening. He continued to be extremely rude so I walked away… he had to get the last word in and said he didn’t need to rent to us. Sure looks like he knows how to run a business!!!
