One thing that Royal Mountain is known for is its ice cream store, which was put into place and built by the current owners—Todd and Sarah Cleveland—who took over the business just under five years ago. Sarah states that Rocky Mountain Campgrounds gives consumers an "Adirondack feel" and says that they try to create an atmosphere that is both relaxing and enjoyable.
Guests that have been to the establishment in the past have left a number of reviews. One review reads, "The camp was quiet, well maintained, the bathroom/shower house was clean." Another person that recently stayed there says, "Great campsite, with the best ice cream, stand in the area at the entrance to the site. Quiet place with lots of shade. Management is always hard at work on site, making sure everything goes smoothly." Though the campgrounds haven't been around for more than five years, the grounds have been with the Cleveland family, first with Todd's parents, and now with Todd.
Royal Mountain Campground is owned by the Cleveland Family, who has been owning the property as a family business since it first opened its doors about four years ago. Todd and Sarah Cleveland purchased the land from Todd's parents in 2017 and have owned the campground since. Todd has been fixing up the campsite since they took ownership, adding in the highly-requested ice cream shop shortly after obtaining the land. Royal Mountain Campground was built from the ground up, having been in poorer shape when the original owners first purchased the land. Ever since the Cleveland family purchased the grounds, they have dedicated their time to fixing up the campground and passing it on to their son Todd, who continues to renovate and improve it to the best of his ability.
