Extremely dissatisfied with the lack of concern over “smoldering/ even flaming fire pits “. Checked in at 3:00 -guests checkout is noon— my site # 15 had a smoldering pit!! Contacted the hosts—she Replied “ yes, my husband has commented that SEVERAL sites had not put their fires completely out-one even had flames 🔥
This is totally unexceptable in a National forest campground-with the constant, continuous reports of fires throughout the American west!!!!
Possible solution -have hosts report those in violation (very easily done since all sites are now by reservation) FINE then $$ and refuse their request for future camping reservations !!!! WAKE UP —recreation.gov

Our experience was hampered by weather (very cold, then rainy and windy) But the site was very spacious and clean, and the campground host Rick was very personable, friendly and helpful. Turquoise Lake is very scenic, with a nice beach and nature trail. The campground as a whole is too forested and dark for my taste; I prefer more open, sunny spaces. But it was wonderfully quiet, which we appreciated.
