Updated 9/2022. There is now only one spot available at our property to reserve as we seem to leave our trailer up there for most of the summer. The good news is you will have the place all to yourselves unless we happen to be there which is not very often and we will let you know if we overlap. This spot has a 30 amp RV plug and a sewer connection. There is no water or trash service so please bring your own water and practice pack in/pack out practices. This is a very quiet spot but does have a few neighbors within earshot so if you are planning on a party spot or having loud music this is not the spot for you. There is a large smoker/BBQ that is not maintained but is available for your use if you want, we have used it several times and it works great. There is also a firepit to use when fire season permits. We are only 4 miles from Graeagle, which is a great little town to explore and eat some ice cream in the park. There are many great lakes to explore in the immediate area including Lake Davis, Gold Lake, Upper Salmon Lake, and of course upper and lower sardine which are my favorites.Updated 9/2022.  There is now only one spot available at our property to reserve as we seem to leave our trailer up there for most of the summer.   The good news is you will have the place all to yourselves unless we happen to be there which is not very often and we will let you know if we overlap.  This spot has a 30 amp RV plug and a sewer connection.  There is no water or trash service so please bring your own water and practice pack in/pack out practices.   This is a very quiet spot but does have a few neighbors within earshot so if you are planning on a party spot or having loud music this is not the spot for you.  There is a large smoker/BBQ that is not maintained but is available for your use if you want, we have used it several times and it works great.  There is also a firepit to use when fire season permits.  We are only 4 miles from Graeagle, which is a great little town to explore and eat some ice cream in the park.  There are many great lakes to explore in the immediate area including Lake Davis, Gold Lake, Upper Salmon Lake, and of course upper and lower sardine which are my favorites.

I don't recommend arriving at night because parking your trailer can be quite tricky if you can't see much, but other than that it was a great campsite, in a mostly very quiet spot.

Amazing Private Camp!
Fantastic spot under the Ponderosa trees! Lovely views, and nice to have the pavilion and lights! Having the place to ourselves with no neighbors in sight was luxurious! Dogs roamed freely and we felt safe and comfortable. The barking guard dogs down in the meadow were the only concern… they didn’t come to camp and that’s great. No problem hearing the roosters. We would highly recommend this site!!

Beautiful Site. Not very quiet when we were there due to dogs barking and some logging equipment. Plenty of privacy, space and very well kept.

Just Perfect
Great place - exactly what we needed. We enjoyed the quiet, great facilities, lack of neighbors and excellent communication from the host made this a memorable experience.

This was a perfect place to visit. We loved that we had the place to our self’s. We are already planning another trip. The camp was well kept and just as described.

Camping in the Mountains.
We stayed at Forrest Retreat over a long weekend and it is absolutely lovely and quiet. Within a few miles of some pretty decent restaurants and several historic towns. As well as tons of hiking cycling and other opportunities. Being at elevation the site is surrounded by forest and very quiet and peaceful. We will be back. Highly recommended.
