Inexpensive cabins, don't forget towels and soap like we did, bring extension cords, no outlets in bedrooms. The cabins are very clean! Cabins are dated like the price dictates. Campsites look large and private. Not bad if you are looking for a plane to sleep. Wouldn't want to do a week-long vacation here, but I just stayed in cabin 1, seems to be the smallest. I've stayed in cabin 2 and is much nicer.

We will definitely return! We were coming in late and Mark the owner so thoughtfully had our fire roaring in our campsite when we arrived. The sites were beautiful, rustic and spread out. We were close enough to the bathhouse under the main building/bar but wished there were building bathrooms (instead of outhouses) close by. But again, we loved our stay and that is the only improvement I would make!

Mark the owner is a very nice guy & has worked hard to get the place going again. He's done alot of hard work to make the campground & bar more family friendly. The hard work definitely shows & the inviting atmosphere is not only good for those coming to visit for a break from the city but the locals as well.

Mark was very friendly and took care of our needs: wood/ice/ bar. The beach across the street was convenient and clean. The main bathroom was always open and working. I'd recommend walking there over using the porta potty because they weren't cleaned often which is the reason for 4 star rating. Great place for camping with kids or an all adult weekend too!!

We planned to spend some time away from the big city and do some white water rafting over the weekend. Thornton's turned out to be an excellent choice. We reached in the afternoon and Mark gave us a quick overview of the places around. Just opposite the campgrounds, was a man made small beach where folks could camp. Also, round the corner there was a good music concert with 7 bands. Evening well spent.
That whole area is a bit remote in terms of food, so keep food to prepare. The cabins at the campground have cooking facility with flame stove along with fridge and microwave, which was very nice
