Laurel Branch needs more water and electric sites in the C section of the campground. They say it's all they can do but some sites are way above a flooding problem. Maybe they have to have a percentage for tent campers. I am sure they would also love water and electric when it's extremely hot in the summer.

Simple check in. Polite, helpful host. Easy access to camping pad. Good location near bathrooms. Like the code for showers to keep day visitors out. Quiet at night. Never saw a Park Ranger like we did at North Fork the weekend prior. Bathrooms were not clean by the end of the weekend which I assume means no one checks them? That was gross and seemingly uncalled for as its one building. Would camp there again. Thank you.
