The views of the mountains are breathtaking (especially in the Fall. The out buildings are always super clean and have the typical pay showers if you need them. The salt water pool is divine with an incredible view of the mountains. The camp store/office is a beautiful building and nicely stocked. Prices are reasonable (including ice, wood and a yummy ice cream shop! and it can usually get you out of a pinch for camper supplies or grocery items, but there’s also large stores within 10 minutes.

Didn't see much of them, as we were out most of the day doing stuff, and crashed out later in the day. Hookups are conveniently along the side, where it's easy to connect, and the restrooms are nicely kept up and in working order.
