It’s a beautiful location. Unfortunately there were sites that were not occupied but apparently paid for. I get that but I think it’s rude to tie up beautiful spots all for yourself. Nothing you can do.

Excellent facilities kept very clean, mowed, and a wonderful helpful friendly staff. That includes the hostess, the maintenance staff, and park ranger. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well kept grounds. The B loop does not have fire rings so don't bring any wood if your reservation is there. B loop also has closer quarters and our camper faced our neighbor. Also, a digital copy of your National Parks card is not acceptable. Apparently, you must have the card itself. It was kind of ridiculous as we had both front and back copy of the card and all forms of identification and a confirmation.
