Fire rings in the A loop are in very poor condition, very hard to try and cook over the fire.

Something needs to be done about the reservation process. Everyone goes down through the list and reserves every weekend and then they cancel if they decide they can't come. makes it hard for the people that live close to be able to come up for 14 days straight.

Campsites are well spaced apart to where you don't feel like you are on top of the campers to your left right and rear. Adequate resources (dump stations, water, facilities). There is access to a boat ramp if you need it. Highly recommended

Great camping the views are amazing people are very nice lots are wide and level wildlife is great . The only problem is you must use app to register cell phone or internet also don’t allow cash for payment or check must use card I do find it funny that is a federal park and cash has a law written that say for all private and public debts but not allowed at a park system that needs to be changed also that workampers should be able to still check you in it was a nice to have them welcome you back or if your new customer now it’s just all “internet “ no social networking quite going’s the wrong Direction but still a nice place for campers
