I have never been up there before. I just thought I'd pass along some of the information that I thought would of been helpful to know about the facilities.

We stayed in campgrounds Lucy Mack Smith #2 & #4. These worked out great for us since they were close to each other. YM were in #2 and YW were in #4. The girls choose #4 because the bathrooms seemed closer. It's my guess that they weren't that much closer, they just weren't down hill.

We each had 3 cabins. Each cabin holds 16 people. They have wood bunks that are actual twin size, so if you are bringing up a twin size blow-up mattress it will fit. You will definitely want some sort of thick mattress. You can pull your vehicle right up to at least one of the cabins, but you can't leave your cars parked there. They make you park out on the road (which isn't that far away, we had to cross that road to get to our bathrooms). The cabins each have a bulletin board (cork board) and a dry erase board. They also have 2 banquet tables in each cabin along with 8 chairs. The table and chairs are not allowed outside. The cabins have 2 doors and each has a metal screen door, which is nice for airing out the cabin! There are lots of windows. Yes, there is electricity and lights. The cabins each have two outlets, one by each door. Also a little garbage can in each.

There is a lake somewhere, but at this time of year it is drained, they use it for irrigation.

The bathrooms are fully functioning - 3 stalls each, soap, paper towels, mirrors, hot & cold running water, electrical outlets, and there are even showers (which we left locked so we wouldn't have to clean it when we left).

Outside there is a little covered pavilion. It has a sink (hot and cold water), one metal picnic table, and a big garbage can. It has a closet that has a refrigerator and metal shelves. You will use this to store all your food and cooking supplies. You aren't suppose to have food in the cabins.

The campfire area has a cement fire pit, with all the lumber you could need. There is log seating (theater style) and 4 metal picnic tables. Our group of 50 fit great with room to spare on the log seats. There is also a flag pole.

Be sure to allow for clean-up time. I'd suggest an hour. There is a list in every building of the things you need to do to pass cleaning inspection before they allow you to leave.
