This campsite is actually really nice and relaxing! The area is clean, peaceful, and well maintained perfect for a quick getaway or a quiet weekend outdoors. One of the best parts is that they have a free shower room, which is a huge plus, especially after a long day of exploring or sitting around the fire. 🚿🔥 The office isn’t always available, so check-in can be a bit self-serve at times, but it’s not a big issue since the sites are easy to find and just call them as they are one call away. There are streetlights around, which help for safety at night but can take away from the bonfire atmosphere if you prefer complete darkness and stargazing. 🌌 The rates are very affordable, making it a great budget-friendly choice for campers who still want comfort and convenience. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back again!

Interesting experience Smaller Campground, stalls are close together, tree coverage is mainly lodgepole pine which is awesome but not alot privacy between stalls. Booked online with the Let's Camp. Misleading on the reservations, firewood is free by sum of 30 logs per booking (i instantly brought (2) bundles, not realising it was included, the staff were accommodating it has been an ongoing issue), showers were free, playground was great for smaller toddlers & kids. There is gate with a code but never need to use it as the gate was always open. I'm not sure if it was a busy weekend or a ball tournament going on, no one from the office attended us when we arrived, we had to find our own stall, along with we had to get some Kids/vehicles from our stall. At which 10mins later they were kicked from another stall after that. Other then meeting the staff at the firewood pile, never saw them again the rest of our visit. If I was passing through for the night, this place is ok , but not for long term due the regular culture of the Campground

An excellent campground! Located right outside of town, you are super close to anything you may need but the campground seems as if it's miles away in the forest. Large sites with pull through options, and plenty of trees make it a great campground for privacy. There is a small park for the kids to play in and a free load of firewood per night that you stay that was very nice to have. Showers are free, hot, and have decent pressure and the washroom facilities are good. There is a laundromat if you need it and a cute little book library you can trade books at. The only thing I would improve upon at this campground is the cleanliness of the washrooms. They are done once a day but not to a very high standard, and they are used regularly so quickly become dirty again. There were also a few other maintenance issues we noticed as we walked around the campground including water taps in sites that were spewing out water with noone around that should have been dealt with. Other than that- Definitely would return and would stay here again!

Awesome large, private campsite. Washrooms and showers were very clean. The laundry room was perfect. The manager was exceptional. Loved it here. Close to trails and an easy walk to town.

Beautiful campground with full service sites that can accommodate large units of needed. Very clean park and has good shower, laundry , and bathroom facilities. The spot we were in was good, although the 30amp power plugin was damaged and needed to be replaced, still worked good but very clearly needs maintenance, had to use a bungie cord to to attach my power cable to the plug and it would not stay in.
