The campground map did not identify bathrooms - they are plentiful - just walk along the road until you see one.

Sites are very clean, pretty good size, and very well maintained. Bathrooms are vault toilets, which are always a little gross but the only thing I ever smelled was bleach, which is great. Water spigots are not super convenient to all sites, but having portable water accessible is always a plus. D loop doesn’t look as upgraded as A-C. End of season was fairly full, but still quiet. Verizon signal wasn’t great, but a strong enough LTE signal to text my kids, check weather, and identify birds & plants. Scout has been a go-to for years.

Super easy, so glad my last name was on the sign. Nice and peaceful, not too close to other campsites. Well worth the trip.
