Inconsistent restroom cleanliness. Campsites a bit too close to each other.

Enjoyed the campground but was a little put off on the parking rules eg: my brother who had a spot ad couldn’t walk was not able to just park at my spot for a little bit without paying extra even though I only had my tv in the spot

Concerns of too many bears. Apparently there had been sightings every evening so that took a little pleasure out of our camping trip
