Not enough water hydrants. Should have at least one in every loop if not more. SKUNKS! Get a handle on them. We saw multiple walking around during early evening when campers are still outside. Not to mention invading camp sights.

The check-in process on recreation.gov was almost impossible. Every time we tried to reserve the date, we got different information as to whether it was available or not. We finally gave up on the website and called. The representative called back and we were finally able to pay for our site. The staff that came around the campground mentioned that many, many people are complaining about the same issues. Very frustrating.
