Horrible campsite nowhere close to advertised! Website claims - "Amenities include flush toilets, showers and a dump station." Bathrooms closed due to 'water failure' but no update to the website to notify users. Looks like the 'failure' has been this way for some time - portable potties setup to block the doors. No staff to be found onsite at night or in the morning as I wanted to cancel my second night stay.

It is inexcusable that you cannot reserve same-day at this campground. There is absolutely no reason for it to be that way. Rangers come by frequently and they are able to check reservations and will ask you to leave because you can’t make a same day reservation, yet there are dozens of campsites unoccupied that could be filled, yet you can’t reserve same day. Make it make sense…. This is a huge wasted opportunity and frustration

While this could be a great campsite with good access to both national park and amenities, we specifically booked a site to have showers and restrooms for the night. We had no prior warning that the showers would be down and only porta pottys put outside. Also, the gates were supposed to be closed for security which was not done. There was clearly someone living out of there car right by our site with trash all over.

This was a great campground. The valley was gorgeous, sites spread out nicely -- choose your site carefully, many are not level enough to use with a trailer. Changing sites is painful, Recreation.gov does not give enough control to the local staff to make on-the-fly changes. We stayed here in mid September. After talking to the Ranger, spring stays are out of the question - the campground is underwater from spring run off! :-)

Don't even think about taking a shower or going to the bathroom here. Light didn't work although I would've preferred not to see how disgusting those toilets/showers were.
