Horrible place. Filthy, trash and litter everywhere. Cabins are super dirty. And the camp is literally on Native land, the staff antagonize the the local indigenous peoples. And allow occupants of camp to do the same. It is wrong, and should be shut down!

This is an old campground. The grounds are not well maintained. The pipeline protesters are half a block away and play their music loudly. Not too keen to go back here

They overbooked, and rather then canceling my stay, the transfered me to a really nice lodge with no extra charges. I only paid for the small cabin.

Good little campground. Owner was friendly. Flush washrooms, tap water available. Also has a covered kitchen area in case you can't or don't want to cook at your own campsite! It's a little close to the highway, but wasn't a problem for us to fall asleep.
