This stay was amazing. Has a camping feel with all the hotel amenities. Friendly staff and room were perfect. The brewery and fire pits made it so fun. The only small complaint is the shower head needed to be cleaned or replaced as the water did not come out right. Other than that the stay was excellent.

Cons: Tight parking. Rooms a little dated. Bed has center indentation making it a somewhat painful night. Pros: Quiet area. Rooms are pretty sound proof considering that was a live band nearby and we couldn't hear much of it. The family room is quite large with good amount of space for a family of 5. The price was good for a Sunday night compared to the other hotels.

Just love the vibe here. Hanging in the beer garden reading, short walk to the beach, hot tubbing under the stars and a comfy bed. What more could you ask for?

This was my second time staying at base camp. Wasn’t expecting to get the same room on my last visit but I did. Only complaints I have are: outlets on table needs to be fix since all the sockets are loose, heater from fireplace wouldn’t turned off completely due to pilot still on when I tried turning it off. The room was extremely warm and had to open the windows and turn of AC all due to heater won’t turned off. Did point this out to receptions which was offered to have someone look at it but was leaving next day and wasn’t worth the hassle. Since room was across hot tub, maybe close off hot tub at certain time caused there were people going in and out of hot tub at 1a-3a plus slamming the gates and being super loud were people are sleeping at that hour.

Poorly designed family room

We stayed in the family room with the bunk beds but the bunks were so shaky and hard to get onto. Since the bunk beds were right over the head of the bed, we hit our foreheads on the metal railings a few times. That made it really hard to get in and out of bed. The lighting in the room is also inadequate, so the room was so dim. There also aren’t enough outlets available (only 1). The shower was very small and cramped. There also wasn’t enough parking at night so we had to park on the street far away and walk to the hotel.
