Always a great camping experience.
With Covid I understand the station being closed but sometime you need to talk to someone about your site. Very happy experience.

The hosts were very helpful with finding us a place to stay for the night as our week’s reservation at Cossatot Reefs had been messed up due to misinformation on the website about the length of site 18 which says will accommodate a 51 ft camper. Ours is 35 ft and wouldn’t come close to fitting much less backing in. Hosts at both campgrounds were great!
