helpful staff.
Filthy bathrooms. Not properly cleaned for years. Windows dark with filth. All ledges thick layer of filth.
DANGEROUS access to bathroom + WATER SUPPLY esp at night. Climb over huge fallen tree on a hill to access bathroom!

As I walked away from the crackling fire,
The cold night air made me take a deep breath,
I looked up at the deepest, blackest sky ever,
And the brilliant Milky Way give me its best high five.
So that's where the heavenly river has been hiding all this while!

Our campsite was unavailable and we were assigned a new one. It was not conducive to accessibility

Our camping experience was fun. The area was very clean. We did not have any firewood when we arrived. The area seems to be too close to other campers. The downside was the parking. It said there would be two parking at the site, but we only had one. This really made things difficult parking cars far from our site. Other than that fine experience.
