Fantastic campsite! The setting is beautiful, with clean, well-maintained facilities. Would recommend 4x4 and small camper only though. The staff were friendly and helpful. There’s a perfect balance of nature and convenience, with easy access to Peace Pagoda and scenic views right from the campsite. This spot is ideal for a peaceful getaway or a family-friendly adventure. We loved our stay and will definitely be returning!”

Great location and lovely little camp sites on the top of a mountain, ended up meeting the camp host and had a good convo. During our convo Yogi the bear visited and it sounds like its a normal thing. I asked if my bear proof boxes were okay and stated they should be fine. Well at 1:30am I heard one of them being messed with and the bear ended up taking my box down the hill. He worked on that box until about 5:30am when he was able to finally pull the aluminum box apart to get to the contents. I did call the contact number at 1:30 for some assistance as I didnt want the bear to learn that campsites have food but never got a call back during the morning or at all. Future guests need to be bear aware and lock things down and maybe the camp host could install bear boxes as it seems this bear knows to go through campsites.

We loved staying here! The campsite was lovely and the bathroom and shower worked well and super clean. Everyone was super friendly including one of the owners that lived next door to us. We had the pleasure of meeting 3 kittens, a hound dog named Mimi, and thankfully no bears( but we did hear them though!). Taking a trip up to the peace pagoda is definitely worth it, the views are stunning and the pagoda itself is awesome, the community and monk work very hard to build and maintain it. We will definitely be visiting again!

Overall it was good for what we needed but the road up to the campsite was quite difficult to navigate in some spots with a camper. We had a small boondocks tear drop designed for off road pulled with a bronco and it was difficult. The electrical was not sufficient to run our unit and the bath house. Another outlet is needed. Lastly there is bear activity in the area which I know the owner can't control but should be a consideration. There was no bear proof garbage bin and it attracted them. Lastly the spot has limited room for set up as you are right off the road area.

Great Place but some tips b4 trip
I loved the covered area we had. It was very large and it really came in handy. There was a storm that came through that produced a little bit of hail and the space was large enough to fit our Pop-Up camper and my wife’s new Toyota Highlander to protect it. And having the private bathroom and shower space was nice as well. It was really clean and the owners were very helpful and responsive. We had the pleasure of meeting Venus as he drove around checking on all the campers. And being able to walk up to the Peace Pagoda was incredible!
If I could give any advice it would be that in order to hook your power up, you must disconnect the bathroom power and just run a drop chord from your camper to it. We were able to run the water heater in the bathroom with our campers power supply as long as we didn’t have the AC going. And also, make sure you bring a 30 amp extension chord just in case yours isn’t long enough. We bought one from the Walmart 13 mins down the road. Also, be forewarned that it’s a steep drive up to the camping area and this site had a steep hill going down to it. Our Highlander was able to handle both the up and down with ease but it caught us off guard at first.
Overall, an awesome place. We will be back again!
