Great stay. Beautiful campground and very clean bathrooms. Would avoid site 44 only because of direct Sun, but the place was wonderful. I do think campers should be able to park at the spring though. It is a very long walk with tubes. If your paying to camp there, you should be able to access the amenities easier.

Nice large sites. Not much close by. Local grocery store at the Marathon station was better than expected.
