Concord Gard station was really wonderful, we went in september, no biting bugs but I could see how they would be bad during the wet season as others have mentioned. There were a bunch a bunch of wasps and hornets, the woodpeckers had packed some nice holes in the house siding that numerous nests had taken over inside of. Aside from that, the campground is very very close to the cabin, but throughout our three night stay there was no one in the campground the whole time! So wonderful and so quiet. Propane lights and stove worked really well. We brought a propane tank to use the grill outside. The outhouse looks very new and is in great condition. Nearby lake Davis was great to go to, need a high clearance vehicle to use the road. Brought sheets and blanket for the beds, cleaning supplies are provided, pack out your trash and recycling per usual.
