I am unsure why most of the campground was empty but on Recreation .gov it showed no availability. Furthermore all the campsites had a reserved signs on them. I also noticed a permeant brown metal park sign stating the campground is full. These parks belong to the American people and should be allowed to use our campgrounds. The park itself is beautiful. There are bears in the campgrounds looking for food.

Lovely campsite right next to the river, lots of space and could watch the deer drinking from the river every afternoon. Very peaceful.

No light in the bathrooms. No showers. No breakfast service at the lodge. Pay phones are a ripoff. Park staff was a bit ignorant of trails. Stayed in campsite 19. It was probably the best site in the campground. It was large with lots of distance from other sites. It backed on the river. Very pleasant.
