This place was awesome! We got lost getting there but it was part of the adventure. Speaking of adventures, man definitely need a 4wd and if you're going during April, don't think the snow is done with you yet! Nicki and her husband were super helpful with us getting stuck. Our stay overall was amazing. The view, the trees and just peace we were able to find was everything we needed. We'll definitely be back

It was a beautiful camp sight. Only issue was there wasn’t much of a disclaimer about all the signs when entering. It gets confusing.

Beautiful view! Like the listing says, make sure you have 4 wheel drive. The road to the camp site is a bit narrow so use caution. It is completely worth it!

this is a beautiful campsite and it’s only about 15 minutes from town which is a huge plus! the biggest downside is that the host never replied to any of my messages :( i had a couple of questions before/during our trip but after two unanswered messages…. it felt like a lost cause. this is a great place to camp with amazing views, though, so 10 out of 10 for everything else!! we still had an amazing time.
