"This was basically a pit stop for us on the way to Angel Fire. Even so, this was a very nice stay. The host was friendly and helpful, and the kids were surprised and enjoyed this being a Christian camp facility. Great place for a large group. Table seated all 16 of our party. Would stop here again!"
