Great campground although Alta is putting in a new ski chair. Tons of trees were taken down. The best campground hosts! Highly recommend this gem of a campground!

Such a great camping trip! Our spot was great and the host was nice. I loved the little store at the bottom selling ice cream and other stuff. The camp site is so close to Cecret Lake hike so we were able to do that super easily. The site was great with a fire pit and picnic table. Even the porta potties had cute decorations inside. The wildflowers were amazing. Such a great experience!!!

This is the loveliest campsite. We were surrounded by wildflowers. The bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever had, and the camp hosts were lovely and helpful. We saw a moose and a fox amongst all the smaller critters.

A lot of construction and helicopter activity in the area but we were warned of that upon booking.
They take immaculate care of the campgrounds and hiking trails are very close by.
A great experience.
