Loved it here. Vault toilets were a new experience... did NOT enjoy that but you can’t blame them for other people stinking it up. It was kept clean and staff were kind

Enjoyed the campground very much. Location great for hiking & to town. Campground full every night, sites were clean. Only thing was the intense odor from the outhouse! And our site wasn't even close to the building!

Last year trees had to be cut down for safety reasons that we understand. That made out campsite more out in the open with little to no shade. But we still like the campsite.

Site details are wrong on Recreation.gov in these ways:
1. The site (#10) has no tree shade whatsoever
2. The site does not have space for a second unit. There is one parking space and one tent pad.
The fire ban was NOT enforced by the camp hosts. The campers in units 6 & 7 (on hill above your site, #10) had a campfire on 8/22/20. There were no evening rounds made by the hosts. I reported the fires the next morning to a no-action response. :(
The pit toilets are extraordinarily stinky. We camp a lot and usually really appreciate pit toilets.
