Unpleasant time with the camp host there. Came to check in at 1pm and there was a group in my reserved spot. Went to the host for help or any accommodations and they told me they couldn’t go near people and offered no help. Ended up having to find a different campground to sleep at.
Rec.gov was helpful after the incident but at site was unpleasant.

Needs to be better staffed. And night gate closure, too many people coming through at night.

This campground is great! I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. We were there in mid-April and were surrounded by wildflowers. The space was roomy, short walk to the restroom, which has flush toilets and running water. Fishing access was tough unless you have a boat. Hubs did end up finding a place to fish, but it was a rugged hike and there were quite a few people fishing in the same area due to the limited access.
