Desperate need for Porto-potties! On our second night in the C loop the C loop bathroom was flooded with overflow from all 6 toilets. The only other options were a long walk away — much further than I experienced at all other nat’l park campgrounds I’ve stayed at for 30+ years

This campground had great bathrooms and nice, well maintained sites. However, the raccoons are out of control. This site (40) is right next to a thicket of bushes/shrubs which is one of the the raccoons' lair. Even while having a fire and being active at our site, raccoons came through and tried to steal food. We woke up early in the morning to a few of them fighting and scurrying up and down a tree on our campsite. A little bit jarring because the animals are so bold and loud. Would come back and stay in one of the huts!
