We were scheduled to move from C Loop to A loop, but the host was able to allow us to stay the remainder in C because someone cancelled their stay in our spot. Utilities are great in C & the view is awesome especially at sunset.

Outlet park is very nice and quiet. The sites are as private as they can be.

Nice Place to Camp.
I like all the services & walking Trails. Very high traffic and busy place. Would be nice to get Over the air TV.
I have never seen a Federal Campground Host's require my Senior pass and cause me to return home for it or get charged full price.

The central section sites are not as described on recreation.gov. With a large class A we had trouble getting on the site and leveling. We have stayed at other sites at this campground in the past and wish we had a site that was like it this time. The lack of walk in sites makes trying to find a spot difficult.
It is a beautiful spot but that section needs to be modernized.

Would have been an excellent experience but our camper ended up not having heat.... I was disappointed that there was no place to build a fire, I have to say...
