Pros-Great campsite. Lake to paddle board or fish.
Cons-Humans. The bathroom was smelly I assume due to holiday weekend. Smell it from campsite A006 and with wind change our friends in the other sites got the smell. No toilet paper in one bathroom. One family washing blankets, clothes and a stuffed animal at the drinking water spout. It says no washing there too. To me that’s gross. Havasupai had C-Diff breakout recently. People don’t learn. Though I did see the host come talk to them but they didn’t stop them. I always bring water for the teens to wash and drink so glad don’t use the community spout.

Besides that. It was awesome. It’s humans who are gross. Saw lots of dispersed camping prior to campsite. So that’s also an option next time. The hosts here have their hands full with cleaning up. So kudos to them.

Weekends are pretty busy, but during the week it’s quiet.
Pit toilets were always clean
Camp hosts were all very nice
