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.

Enjoyed our two night stay but when filling with water found the hydrant frost valve would not close making the hydrant unusable. Site #40
