I paid for the campsite in full on Recreation.gov but the campground host came by and informed my group that we owed him another $20 per tent per night. He claimed it was posted at the front so my entire group tried to find this rule the next day and none of us were really able to make heads or tails of the rule ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Our neighbors were playing loud music, and the camping host went to talk to them in a friendly manner and he solved the situation. We really appreciated that!

Campers beware! Hidden cost! What’s not listed on the website but is “posted” at the campsite are additional fees. The website says $20 per night but at the campground it’s $20 per night per “sleeping unit” or tent to be exact. Much to my surprise my first morning after breakfast the “campground host” paid me a visit to inform me I owe more money. 2 additional tents = $160 more. Kinda ruined my trip. So, watch out here. 1 tent 20 dollars. 2 tents 40 dollars and so on....
