We drove into the campsite and it was in very poor condition. The roads were rutted and the campsite we had selected we could not back into. We decided it wasn’t worth the effort to try to stay there. This is the first USFS campground we have ever walked away from. We did not even try to get a refund.
The campground host did call when we did not stay. We simply told her we changed plans. It is not her fault that the campground is poor.
