Amazing customer service and very flexible camping schedule. I had originally booked one night and then changed to 2 nights the day of my reservation and they were able to accommodate without hesitation. We got tent site by the lake and it was absolutely magical at nights and in the mornings. We woke up to see a herd of elks grazing around the campgrounds. The restrooms were clean and there is a store on the campgrounds where you could buy souvenirs, snacks and camping gear. The staff is very friendly and super helpful, my husband got a headachethe day we left and when the store didn't have any Tylenol, one of the staff members gave us her personal Tylenol in order to accommodate our needs. The campsite made us feel like a true home away from home, we will be staying again soon!

We loved it here so much that we extended our stay twice. We enjoyed the serenity and lush forest. The little lake is beautiful with a small trickling waterfall running to it. The grounds are breathtaking. The staff in the office was amazing to us. We live full time on the road out of our converted school bus, and we were nervous about staying in a campground, but they made us feel right at home. We even had to have some packages delivered and they brought them out to our site to give them to us. We did get to see a huge heard of elk almost every day that we were there, it was such a treat! Needless to say, we will definitely be back in the future!

This was our favorite stop on our road trip. We stayed 2 days and wish we could have stayed more. The property is absolutely beautiful. So well maintained and just a really nice property. Office manager was great and helpful. The lake on the property was so peaceful. We saw a big herd of elk at about 6am. Pretty level spots, decent amount of room between spots too. Laundry room and bathrooms were clean and everything worked. They were dog friendly. Close to the Redwoods, fern canton and more
