Our camp host was nice. The site was cleaned. However the sites were so close together we got 2 sites just to space.

They were logging and that really looks depressing and tore up. Good news is that it will grow back in a couple of years... bad news is they are not finished with the camp ground. Also during my stay in the park have noticed a few places that do not accept America the Beautiful Senior pass in day use areas. Have the veterans pass on the way but dont know if they will honor that either. $10 just to ride my bicycle through the area is not Good. especially after paying $90 for the America The Beautiful Senior pass. So it is good for Seniors to pay twice?

When we arrived, someone else was in our spot. The camp host was quick to note that the other party was in the wrong spot & asked them to move, The other party came over to us & after a short discussion, agreed to move, which they had to since they were in the wrong spot. We have stayed in the same #013 spot now twice & really enjoy our space. Very spacious & quiet. We will definitely be back. The camp host was very attentive & the restrooms are clean!
