## Recent reviews

> Highly recommend for anyone looking for a chill, affordable spot to get away. The land itself was well maintained, the heated shower was amazing (!!!) and the bathrooms well stocked/cleaned. Surrounded by the mountains and plenty of trails & swim spots around. Great spot, will be returning

> This is my second time at this camp site, the last was 3 years ago. The upgrade to the potable water and charging station only made this an even better experience! The staff was super helpful and reached out to see if I needed anything after my first night. My dog loved that there was another dog on the grounds to run around with and she loved running through the stream! Definitely will go back again!

> Such a magical feeling place. Everything was perfect. You can tell that these people have their act together and know exactly what they're doing hosting. I hate that. I only got one night to stay there due to an issue back home at work. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely be staying here.

> Staying in the Barn Door Bus was so much fun! Directions were easy to follow for a late check in, and we had a great time hanging out on the roof deck with coffee in the morning. Had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!
