Fantastic place to camp. Site C117 was easy to back into, very spacious and shaded. Grass was freshly cut. Hiking paths are absolutely wonderful! Paved parking is wide and level. Concrete patio is large and so convenient. Camp hosts were very helpful and the campsites are impeccably maintained. Bathhouse was clean. Verizon excellent. You cannot go wrong staying here. It is a very popular place.

Overnight stay. Nice and quite. Bathrooms and Showers were open. Yellow light in bathroom made difficult to see, not sure of the reason maybe dark sky area.

Beautiful, clean, peaceful are the first 3 descriptions that come to mind. I came into the park on a Sunday afternoon expecting to see left over trash and "end of a weekend" kind of vibe from staff. NOT what I experienced! Super helpful gate greaters went out of their way to help me figure out where I needed to park & helped me figure out how to get an annual pass too. I saw staff driving through checking on eveyone several times - without being invasive, just kind and friendly. The entire park was immaculate. I was so impressed I wandered around shooting a video that I will post on my YT soon. I will be BACK to enjoy the park, not just passing through on business.
