The owners, camp hosts, and support staff were all so helpful and welcoming! The park was spacious, green, and a cooler place to retreat from the low desert. We enjoyed meeting other guests, relaxing in our spot, and the Saturday duck race. We’ll definitely be back. I like the ease to pick a site and reserve online, too.
