The campsite was absolutely terrible! We left after 2 days, we were supposed to stay 7. You had to walk up a hill to the campsite, the entire site was on a hill. I fell 5 times in 2 days the ground was soo uneven. I would never recommend lot #6 to anyone. Worst camping trip ever.

We had people that stayed at the campsite next to us (number 11)had two dirt bikes, three trucks, and an extremely loud generator. They also were parking their three trucks all over the campsite and on the side of the hill,including in the woods next to our campsite entrance. We tried to call the park Rangers, but they are only available Monday through Friday and the local office was also closed. Lovely campground, just poor neighbors with too many gas operated things. this was very disappointing being that it was a busy holiday weekend, but there was no one around in no way to report this situation..
