July 18, 2025Heather MI’m writing this review as a PSA, a “know before you go” regarding the “walk in” campsites. They’re described on the website as “close to the gardens”. For the majority of the campsites that’s simply not true. I stayed in T17 and it’s still a pretty far walk from the gardens AND the bathroom/only water spigot on that side of the campground. On the day I checked in, my steps app said I’d walked 5.5 miles. All that walking was at the campground, and included 4-5 trips back and forth between my car/main part of campground and campsite, and a trip to get water and go to the bathroom. So you can do the math, but I estimate that from the bridge to T17 was about 1/2 mile, each way. The only bathroom and water spigot on that side of the campground is almost all the way back to the bridge, so I’d put that at about 1/3 mile from T17. When I camped out there, there was only one other family. I could hear them, but couldn’t see them. The campsites are very dispersed and far away from each other. There are no lights out there and very little signage. Have your map with you at all times, or else you’ll really be in trouble. Making that walk by myself at night, a woman alone, was very scary. It’s the stuff Dateline Specials are made of. Also, carting your stuff up there is no piece of cake. You’re not carting your stuff over a straight, flat path. Especially depending on which route you take, its a rocky, windy path up and down hills, with lots of tree roots. Under certain circumstances the walk in sites may be perfect for some people (young healthy energetic folks, a group so you feel safe, etc) but I have two gripes: 1. The website really should clarify how far away the farthest campsites are from… anything, including the lodge and only bathroom/water spigot on that side of the campground. Particularly with the lack of lighting and signage, in this day and age, it’s actually UNSAFE for their guests for them to not disclose that information. The information on the website is very generic for all the tent sites, making them appear somewhat similar. They’re not. There are a couple walk in sites really close to the bathroom. I MIGHT stay in one of those. But IMO the map online is deceiving. That is a LARGE area and most of the campsites are a LONG walk. I wouldn’t describe a lot of them as “walk in” sites, but rather “hike in” sites, especially with the rocky path that you need to haul your stuff over. 2. The “walk in” sites are ridiculously overpriced. All tent sites - the drive in ones right in the main campground, and the walk in sites - are $40 per night, which would also lead one to believe they’re comparable, when they’re not. With the amount of work it is to haul all your stuff to the walk in site, the lack of amenities (water and bathroom REALLY far away), they should be $25 per night, at the most. Even if they put a couple of outhouses near the far campsites, it would be something. Run another waterline or two so there is closer access to water, THEN.. maybe.. they might be worth something close to $40 per night. But as it is, $40 per night is highway robbery. Speaking of the highway and crime… Another bonus… when you’re out there by yourself, with no lights, far away from anybody - you do get a lot of highway noise. It’s literally a true crime documentary waiting to happen. Close to the highway, could get in, do your deed, and get out - nobody would ever even see you. Yup pretty unpleasant to think about, but I feel morally compelled to warn people. Be careful staying in these sites - especially if you’re a woman alone!!!

July 9, 2025Judith AKitchen needs serious updating and better utensils.
First off the grounds are absolutely lovely! The cabin we stayed at Camp Yale was clean and large. The only reason my rating went down is the kitchen. The Kitchen is an absolute disaster. First of all it needs serious renovating as the cabinets are falling apart. The "fully equipped kitchen" is anything but. Essential items were missing, pans were old teflon pans that were horrible scratched up with the base showing through. There were no dishrags or sponges provided for washing dishes - just an old dish brush. I was seriously upset that with $250 per night that better accommodations in the kitchen were not provided.

Gorgeous camping , Horrible, stinky rooms at lodge. Staff was banging a ladder against the wall at 6am. The wall had a hole in it around the air conditioner. The old bed had coils which pressed into our back. The river was spectacular! The staff were ok, except when they added 50 dallers to my bill because my son stopped by for 2 hours and did not use the pool.

May 19, 2025Scott FAn excellent experience with very friendly staff. Great hot springs and accommodations for a very good price.
The grounds of this establishment are beautiful and the care taken to ensure the wellness of the plants and landscaping shows through in every corner. The two hotspring pools are in great shape and my wife and I were fortunate enough to have it mostly to ourselves. In contrast to some of the negative prior reviews we found the staff to not only be pleasant, but extremely friendly and helpful. Not only would I recommend the facility to others but my wife and I are scheduling our next trip here for the fall.

Luxury base camp
Once again the vocal minority has misspoken; Not sure why this place doesn’t have a higher rating. Affordable accommodations with lots of amenities; If you stay overnight you get unlimited access to two hot pools (9am-9pm), GORGEOUS trails/ grounds, coin operated laundry & a shower room. We opted for a room in the lodge which includes an electric fireplace, jacuzzi tub, & continental breakfast for less than $150. Dog friendly cabins & rooms available. The website was difficult for me to navigate but staff was super helpful over the phone. The front desk lady was an absolute doll. Snack/souvenir shop in lobby in case you forgot anything. Food truck on site with delicious lunch/dinner options. Some interior aspects were a little outdated but considering the value, amenities, & outstanding service this place is a real gem. Can’t wait to come back!
