We could not tell from the campsite photos that many of the sites have a shorter driveway and only half of which may be level. We were sleeping in two cars, so we hoped to switch sites to a more level one for both cars. The camp host (Ken) was off duty for the days we were there, but even so helped us sort this campsite situation out temporarily and gave us a lot of useful info. The next day, the relief camp host (Michael) arrived and in a most friendly manner assured us he would find us a campsite with a flatter driveway for our two cars by the time we returned from our day of exploring the area. And that's exactly what happened. Also, Michael gave us a lot of info about how to find jade stones on Sand Dollar beach, and wonderful waterfalls to hike to. The vibe at this campground is so friendly and the campsites and bathrooms are so clean and neat, it is a real pleasure to stay here.
