I have been coming here for forty years with friends and family. The location is still great but the last two years there seem to be people that don't know how to behave decently in a public campground. There has been screaming between couples and two groups fighting over a spot on the river. Also, there seem to be more people bringing dogs who aren't cleaning up after them and one barked all night.
We'll be back next year but I really hope they start monitoring the behavior there a bit more.
Also hoping that someone gets the Outpost opened again. That was always a bonus to have near by.

The nights and Water are little cold in September. Great place to relax and get away.

5 days without a ranger putting toilet paper in bathrooms so clearly five days without even cleaning the bathrooms or not they would’ve noticed there was no toilet paper and the fact that I get a no fire after my two weeks of cancellation has passed straight bs
