It served its purpose the night before a backpacking trip. Nice to have bear lockers at each campsite.

Really well organized and very clean campground. We had an excellent time over our 4-day stay and hope to return soon to see more of the park.

Loved site 526. Best spot for a view and access to the river. Because the site is in a prime location, you do get random people walking through the site to get a photo every now and then. Overall a great campsite with clean restrooms.
