We stayed two nights. The first day a family played loud music and had barking dogs that made the setting very uncomfortable. Second night, different family with children who screamed in agony all night. At 3am, I abandoned my tent and drove to another site and tried unsuccessfully to sleep in my car until sunrise. Awful experience. I feel sorry for the other family, but I felt like a refugee fleeing a war zone. No peace, no quiet.

Somewhere when registering, there should be a place for me to enter my America the Beautiful pass in order to receive the Senior discounted rate. It did not show up and so I paid the given ( (full) price. My friends were able to pay half what I did and Iām older than either of them. I requested a refund or credit towards next summer trip, but it was denied.
Plus, it rained all week so we left a day early! š

Sites are crammed. Hot basin with no views or water access.take is polluted with mine tailing and there is no real shore access. Totally packed. 14 young people sitting around using drugs and being load in a standard site. Left after not being able to resolve group size disturbances with the host due to not being able to find/ communicate concerns with them.
