Had a pretty good visit. We were only there as a base camp. We spent most of our time seeing sites in the area.
There was 1 rest room/shower area closed down with no explanation.
the area was fairly quite during our stay.

Love the campground. Only wish the rangers were more interactive , especially with the kids. A smile and friendly personality would go along way in their positions.

We love the campground, however we were in site 97 right across from a bath/shower house which was locked. There were several campers in this section and were unable to use that bath house. It was very inconvenient.

I was very disappointed to see the bathhouse on the 90's loop close until end of Oct. Was on site I think the 16th of September when the closure first started...longer walk up to the other bathhouse.
