Stayed here in May and finally getting around to leaving my review. My mom and I had just a wonderful time here. Camp host Debbie was such a delight and really on top of things. This campsite is run as a tight ship and we appreciated that. Restrooms were clean, campsites were great and I mean the canyon right there and those views!! Also it’s worth hiking into the canyon, two trails offer that close by and is a real treat. Highly recommend!
The drive back from town on Mary’s Lake road is way less traffic than any other way out of town to camping. The campground is quiet, the sites are spaced so there is some privacy and the campground hosts keep everything super clean. Extra bonus there isn’t what we call (fsd) forest service dirt, the super fine powered dirt that clings to everything. Ground is crushed volcanic rock. Good solar in some of the sites. Space for big rv’s. Verizon is just ok, two bars. 2 week limit. Two years later and two more visits. One of our favorite FSC’s. The hosts are awesome!!
Awesome NSF campground, right off Lake Mary's road. Great level sites with tables and fire pits, good tmobile service. Wonderful camp host Debbie.
