My first time to this campground and I had heard so many good things from a friend who had visited this location about 20 years ago over the course of several summers. The location is awesome with the access to Cass Lake with mature trees in a forest setting. However, it appears there are several permanent residents located within the park that was reflected in the amount of items stored at their campsite and by "their" beach. All of the trails we walked along had trash beside them which is something I have never seen to this level in a national park. I stopped to use a restroom and there was a used hypodermic needle floating in the toilet and noticed in the trash there was other drug paraphernalia located there as well. I started looking closer during our visit and there was similar items in other bathrooms close to our site. I have traveled and camped all across the United States and National Parks have always been a safe place to recreate in a clean and well kept environment. Sad, but not the case here. Not sure what to think. Went there with my grand children and wouldn't take them back to that environment.

Very nice campground. Just irritated me that the bathrooms did not have hand soap or hand sanitizer. When I asked the campground host he said “usually it is brought in or left by the campers.”
Didn’t know I need to supply that for me n the other campers.
