Great for All Purposes

D’s Base Camp caters more to adventurers, whilst we simply needed a reasonably priced place to stay overnight for college move-in weekend. With that said, you really can’t go wrong with multiple rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. Will be looking to stay here again the next time we’re in town.

The facility was well set up and well priced. Primary complaint being that the instructions for the WiFi were not up to date in the book, other than that I would absolutely consider staying again

What a pleasant surprise for us when we arrived at D's Base Camp. Located right off the highway. Staff very friendly and ready to assist when needed. We had 3 spacious bedrooms with each having room for 3 to sleep. Two full bathrooms, very clean and roomy. We also had a nice living room and kitchen. While we didn't cook, it appeared to have everything we'd need to cook, if we had chose to. I definitely would stay again, when in the area. One thing to note is the lodging was on the 2nd floor with no elevator.

We thought we were staying in a cabin it didn't say a upstairs apartment above a garage.There was dead bugs in the windows. Screen was missing in the living room window couldn't open windows in 2 of the the 3 rooms because one window wouldn't stay open and the other window there was holes in the screen. The smoke alarms one didn't have a battery the other was hanging off the ceiling. There was mold on the shower curtain in one of the bathrooms.

The amount of space and places to sleep were great with the kids along. The outside light was burnt out so it was pitch dark when we arrived. The one bedroom also had a light bulb out and didn’t work. There was one window air conditioner and it was in a bedroom so the door had to stay open to cool the main area. Parking was great as we could park next to our room. When looking to make sure we had everything while looking under beds the floor was not clean. The batteries in the tv remote were dead and so we used the box itself attached to the tv which was very annoying. All in all it was ok but not great.
