Campsite and bathrooms were very clean. Very well lit at night for access to the bathrooms.

Worst possible experience. There was a squatter in my spot that refused to leave. Harassed and threatened me when I tried to claim my reserved campsite. Called the recreation.gov phone number to complain and they said there was nothing they could do and gave me a phone number of a "local ranger". Called them multiple times and no answer and return call from voicemail I left. Have tried numerous times to try and get my camping fee back but hear NOTHING from recreation.gov.

No water at sites, but it is close. Bring a container if tenting or a small camper without holding tank. Park was very clean. Manager very friendly, Had a great time.
