All staff is very welcoming. Facilities have been very well thought out. Obvious that owners are RV’s - sites easy to park in, spaced out so everyone can enjoy the view. Showers are clean and heated floors were an added treat. We enjoyed the seating area with fire pit. Even had a visit from Clea the camp cat. She made herself at home and provided snuggles at night.

Great stay at Dark Sky! Spent 2 nights there in our Class B RV. Site included a covered area, chairs, lounge chairs, gas fire pit and table. Everything was well appointed and clean, nice tile showers and a great common area with couches, kitchen area and honor system snacks including delicious banana bread. They have thought of everything to give their guests a great stay. Host gave us great tips on local hiking. We highly recommend and will definitely be back!!

My first time staying at an RV Campground and I feel that I stayed at the best! Anyplace else will be a downgrade. The ground are impeccable. The people are the kindest. Laundry was so clean. Heated floors in the showers. A 24 hour store that is all on your honor system. Goat walks. Fire pits and a shelter at any site. Not crowded And the views! Every night the sunset out on a gorgeous show! I stayed in my Sprinter van in Camp Luxury. Perfection!

We stayed at Dark Sky Campground this past week for one night and were sorry that we could not stay longer. This is a fantastic RV park with a very unique vibe. Lots of great amenities such as heated tile floors in the shower rooms, propane fire pits and pergolas and or shade sails with seating at each site, lots of community space for getting to know the others in the park, beautiful scenery all around. It was a great experience from our initial contact enquiring about sites, through the days before check in, during our stay, and even after we checked out. The communication and service were top notch. Jaye and Ashlie obviously love their work as Camp Hosts, they go all out to be helpful and accommodating. If we are ever in the area again, we plan to spend more time here.

This place is just beyond the best spot. Not only are the views spectacular but all the amenities are done with such special attention to detail. Best campground shower ever!! We enjoyed the public spaces every day! We used the grill to prepare one of our meals and it was so nice to have this space available. Sitting by the pond and enjoying the scenery is so special. This is for sure my happy place!! Thank you to Rick, Meryl and family for creating such a wonderful place!! Jen and Rob Newton
