I went at the end of September. Although it was a bit chilly, it was also not at all busy. There were 2 or 3 others at the far end of the campground, but I felt like I was all by myself 90% of the time - which was great! It was quite a clean/tidy site.

The only downside was that the water pump didn't work. I was able to go into town and get my water jugs filled though, and was set for the 2.5 days I was there.

Definitely would recommend and look forward to going back.

Great campsite! More than enough spacing between each site. Short walks to vault toilets. Kept very clean.
