Camp site 05c was not marked and in bad shape; litter multiple campfire pits etc., etc.. The site was excisable by vehicle, human excrement was not disposed of below ground. Camp site 21c was not marked but was in very good shape. Camp site 83c was not marked and occupied by unregistered campers who drove to the location and forced me to move to a different location which was horrible. Many/most of the "Boat In" camp sites are not marked and many had camper/trailers on them. I will be writing a detailed letter to the: Director of the Department of the Interior.

Great, secluded campsite. Please keep it clean for the next campers and pack out ALL of your trash.
Looking forward to getting back soon.

Love the campsites here just as they are, just wish other campers would learn the rules. Bury your damn toilet paper, stop cutting live trees and walk the campsite before you leave and pack your trash out. Previous users failed at all 3 left us egg shells and trash all over and brought coons in as a result. Lots of downed and dead trees in the area, learn how to camp or stay at KOA.

A few planes cut the silence every once in a while but sites are very spread out. All in all a GREAT experience.
