Beware --- this campground has a resident black bear that can rip the top off of a trash dumpster! Do NOT sleep in a tent with any kind of food inside unless you're wanting to make friends with Yogi and/or Booboo.

The campsite manager was very helpful. Unfortunately, stupid people think it is ok to throw bags of their dog poop on the floor in the bathroom and assume the manager will take care of it. Too lazy to walk and dispose of dog excrement in the provided bear proof garbage containers. Some of humanity lack thoughtfulness, but you would think those appreciative of nature would be more considerate.
