Crane Flat
The parking was poorly planned. It was have been so easy to level the parking. The campground was half full yet stated it was full. So no movement to any campgrounds in the park because they are all FULL, haha. No one can change their reservations while in the park (no service) and the forest management team can’t do a thing about it. Too bad, so many missed opportunities.
I wish that we chose another campground because crane flat is so far from the recreation sites.
