It is much more isolated than other campgrounds in the area and not along the side of the road. They also have an ATV road at the back of the campsite and a trail. Not sure if you are supposed to walk on the ATV trail but it has really pretty views of the mountains. The toilets were fine, for a campground they were pretty good! It got COLD at night, my car said it was 37 degrees! the stars were INCREDIBLE and I highly recommend going on a night with a new moon!

After we had our breakfast we checked in and up to the room we went. The pictures will show the room but again the staff made the stay even more special. We get off the elevator and there is staff waiting to escort us to the room and help us with our bags. We needed our clothes ironed and the room did not have iron but the staff came and got our clothes and they pressed our outfits and returned the same day. After a very comfortable night’s rest, we were up early to catch our flight and once again the staff was exceptional with easy checkout and a quick ride to the airport by hotel staff. I would highly recommend staying here. Thanks!
