Site 10 didn’t have a lot of flat spots, but we found a place to camp near a little trail down to the creek. We thought the nearby standing water would cause a lot of mosquitos but didn’t end up having a bug problem. There was unfortunately broken glass at our site in the grass, as well as some trash. Pit toilet was clean and not very smelly!

Everything was amazing as usual. The last time we were there one of the picnic tables had been damaged from a fallen tree. The mess had already been cleared and looked great by the time we arrived this last weekend.
