Camp host were super nice and the camp ground was very well maintained. We enjoyed the lovely trails around the campground and it's close proximity to Diamond an Crater Lake. We will definitely go back and can only recommend this place. The volunteers working there are wonderful and full of knowledge and made awesome recommendations. Their work shows as the camp ground is very well maintained.

Very quiet camp. I hiked the Tenas Peak loop and up to Lake Lucile and neither of those trails are cleared for horses--maybe a reason no horse camps were used while I was there. The trail down from the south side of Tenas Peak to the Maidu Lake trail was especially covered with debris and downed trees. Camp #5 was the least desirable of the non-horse camps--kind of sloping and jammed in between horse dropping bins (they were empty so no smell). Camp #6 was better--not so sloping. Water was available from the creek at the traihead in the campground, so I didn't need to bring in large containers (the review said no water at the camp). Lots of mosquitoes, but that's to be expected this time of year. Bathroom was very clean and there are trash receptacles. After checking out the other campgrounds in the area I am glad I chose this one for the solitude. There also was a lot of wood leftover from campground maintenance to burn in campfire rings. An axe was useful to split it.

Totally fine for the price. I stayed in a standard non-electric (no horses) and it was $10/night. The site is a couple miles off some gravel (non pot-holed) roads, one of which is a one-lane which got tricky a couple times as big trucks with horse trailers are most likely to be using this road (there are a couple areas to move aside). My site was 003 and was in between two manure bins so we got waves of horse smell but that's to be expected I suppose at a horse camp! It really was fine - we were close to Lemolo Lake and spent the afternoon swimming. VIsited Crater Lake about 45 mins away. The campsite is quiet with families and less of a "party crowd." I appreciated this little spot.
