Crowded and parking was difficult.

No potable water and no campfires allowed and the campsites 9 and 10 where the trail is to the water smells like a nasty dead animal.

Pros: Campground and vault toilet were clean and well-kept. Cons: Campsites are close together with no privacy, campground is too close to the road so there’s traffic noise and, at night, headlights to deal with, and mosquitoes were pretty bad.

This is a magical site that I return to year after year, such a gem. The fire in site 4 was not level and very full, maybe fix that to mitigate wildfire risk?

Out houses were clean. There was plenty of shade in our site but others were barren. The fire pits needs to replaced as embers leaked out of it and we had to stay on top of it.
