The female camp host was FANTASTIC! She straightened out the reservations that would NOT accept my Sr. Lifetime card on recreation.gov site. This happens continually on my account; it is very frustrating!
The site needs to fix this and the fact you cannot reserve more than 1 visit at a time. So, I'm overcharged each time.

This was just an overnight stay for us but would like to have stayed longer. I picked site 9 and it was dead on level. Bathrooms were nice with separate rooms. Lovely setting amongst lots of trees. Can’t beat the price for senior NP pass with electric. Very well kept landscape.
