Nice and quiet. Park Rangers made their rounds regular. The site was very clean. We always enjoy camping there.

We were not pleased with how unlevel the spot was. Required a good 3 inches of elevation on one side to level plus the front of the trailer had to be raised very high. One should be aware that a "run" to the store is about a 15 mile round trip. Of course it was beyond the parks control but most of the week was very windy but our spot was not catching as much wind as those up on the hill. Still, I might be inclined to use this spot again and picked a few others but we were not overly impressed with most of the spots. Ours was one with the covered picnic table which was nice and the workstation.

One of my favorite parks. Repeat camper.
I recommend sites closer to the water (swimming beach) the other side is on a hill and split y back in parking, but not bad if you want a buddy spot.
