The campsites were clean and nice. The bathrooms were super clean, and the bear boxes are in great condition and big enough to put a standard size cooler in as well as the rest of your snacks and drinks. There are a few spots that are camper friendly, we took a tent this time and had no complaints. Our site (#5) backed up to a creek which was great white noise for sleeping. We will definitely camp there again.
