    My family had a perfect dining experience, and we left happy and satisfied. The service, food, atmosphere are unrivaled. The views, of course, are spectacular. I have eaten at Salty's many times over the years, but it just seems to get better with experience. What a gem of a restaurant!

    I had the Camp West Smash burger and it was probably the best burger I’ve had in a while. I chose tater-tots with my meal for $3 more than fries. Some restaurants can be skimpy but Camp West gave me plenty. I really appreciate that considering the added surcharge. Our server was very attentive. The camping motif was excellent right down to the camping thermos on your table for water. The crafted cocktail I had was very good and priced reasonably. They accept reservations, which I appreciate, but didn’t appear needed at 7PM ON A SATURDAY. I haven’t been to camp West in a while and remembered I Loved it and will go back without waiting so long this time.
