Due to covid i am guessing, campground is not doing a very good job at all on keeping up the place. fact is, i dont believe i saw a ranger or campground employee the whole week i stayed there. so having said that, before you make a long walk to the restrooms/showers from your campsite, i would recommend you take your own toilet paper! because i made several trips only to find no one had stocked the restrooms with needed supplies and no one had dumped the trash either. and dont bother on contacting the ranger because i am still waiting on a reply from a trip eariler.

campsite #20; totally un-level pad; fact is, it was so un-level our trailer jacks wouldn't even reach the ground on the west side of the pad. if i were guessing, from the east side of the pad to the west side of the pad, it is un-level by some 3 to 4 feet really! so if you plan on using site #20, come prepared, bring at least some 12" thick concrete blocks to put under your jacks, 2 might do it but 4 is probably better. also the whole campgound has not been maintained very well; probably every campsite needs some attention mainly some gravel work; i noticed from getting off the road onto the campsite there were several places washed out making it hard to enter or exit campsites. other than that, pretty nice place. issues with campground probably due to covid year; theres less maintance and less people taking care of stuff. 2019 you had to pay your fees at the campground, so someone came every day to collect those fees and inspect everything. 2020 all fees are paid online, so no one comes to collect fees anymore, and therefore, some days no one comes to inspect anything as we saw. we saw days when no one came to maintain anything; even the toilets were not supplied with toilet paper making it rough for anyone needing to go to restroom.
