There were some odd interactions with day visitors. It seems as if some visit for nefarious reasons. My second day/night included a man at the adjacent campsite that was passed out at the picnic table with a can of coors light. Later he moved to his car where there was also a dog. Through the day and early evening he yelled at the dog. When the occupants of the campsite arrived he moved and parked in the street between sites. This was uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, on my second night at the walk in campsites near me a large group set up with bright lights that illuminated my site as well as into my rig late into the night and early morning.
My arrival was also strange with a couple that were parked at the reserved site near me. They walked by my rig several times, filmed it and me with their phone, and then returned to their vehicle where they stayed for some time. Eventually another car parked next to them and it seemed as if there was a transaction taking place, after which they all left.
These events made me worry for my safety and the safety of my rig so I was unable to enjoy the area beyond my campsite. Very disappointing.
Beautiful area and great sites, it’s just a shame that they are not always used as intended.

Easy parking for my 35’ motorhome, quiet nights sleep, a lovely hike down to the river, great sunset, easy off and on to I-15.
