Just booked a night at Mama Gerties in early October. The only site they had available and only for Sunday night. Is this campground worth the hype? We've often heard how wonderful it is, so we just had to find out. We like to consider ourselves more campers than RVers and are not use to the RV Park scene. Don't care for the shoulder to shoulder parking, need some space. Did we make a mistake? Oh well just gotta find out for ourselves.

Never heard of it so looked it up. It looks nice, but also appears to be the typical pack em in like sardines park with @ 7-8 feet between most of the sites.It's all in what floats your boat I guess. I think I would have to pass.

My DW’s brother and his wife we’re just there a few months ago. Stayed at the very top and said the view was great. They also said MaMa Gerties was a one and done place for them. Saw it but didn’t get a t-shirt.

We drove trough once and to us, unless you get the top spots, just another CG. We much prefer https://www.campfirelodgings.com/ Much more personal, smaller place but great views if you get the premium sites, or nearby.

We also had to try it. Sites small and closely packed. Was nice and quiet. Had young bear cub visit but we didn't see it. We hear up top views nice. We will look elsewhere next year.

Mama Gerties is more of a base camp for seeing other sites in the area. It works well for that. If you are more into nature camping, I recommend state parks and COEs.
