Intermittent power issues on 50 amp circuit. Dump station overflowing and finally marked out of order. No park staff around to convey issues.

Could use some better camp site markers and signs for folks arriving after dark. Also 2 large dogs were roaming the campground when we arrived. They seemed friendly, but some folks might not appreciate being followed by large dogs while setting up camp. The dogs were not around the next morning when we left. Otherwise very good night here.
