410 is nice! It was in the middle to two bathrooms which was cleaned regularly. The tent pad was pretty spacious, fit a family sized tent. It was distant enough from the other sites. Only complaint was that you could hear people talking around, so if you are an early bed person or light sleeper it can be a bit annoying. But most people around went to bed by midnight. The site is across from a group site which is why it can be a bit noisy but overall barely noticed them because of the tiredness from hiking!
