The bathrooms again were locked off and on all week. Was told the host that the forest service was aware but said they weren’t doing anything about it. BRING IN HONEYBUCKETS then!! There is 1 bathroom to accommodate 20+ camp sites and 1 bathroom to accommodate the group sites. Make sure to bring up water and heaven forbid you have an emergency to go to the bathroom, it’s a walk. We’ve been coming to this campground for over 50 years, but I am getting tired of the bathrooms and water being shut off and locked. Beautiful place, just use the money to fix the dang bathrooms since you charge so much already.

The group site was good, the out houses were cleaned during our stay. The thing I didn't like is the campground kept sending me emails to update my info, I booked 7 months early. And when I finally did update they charged me 60 more dollars, even though I had already paid the full fee of my stay 7 months earlier. When I tried to get a refund, I was told they increased the nightly cost by $20 a night. Why should that affect my already paid for stay? So don't respond to their emails. And beware of dishonest price policies.
