Nice to have water, electric, and sewage dump all at your camper. Several trees for shade in B-loop, but so many gnats from 5pm-10am. Made it unbearable to be outside during that time. Also they wouldn't go away with the camp fire or bug killer. Also no fire rings or pits, you have to bring your own. Shower and bathrooms were great compared to others.

Comments have been documented per Recreation.gov Case CS4200436 - External: Feedback.
In summary, the overhead trees need trimmed or you very well could damage your rubber roof when entering or exiting the campsite.

Love the little hiking trail behind the playground area. It is like finding an oasis in the middle of the dessert. So beautiful and peaceful.
