This campground is under restoration and that made getting here challenging.
The detour brings you in from a different direction, which made it impossible to tell in the dark which campground was which. We ended up in the other loop because the Dub sign is angled away from current traffic patterns.
This campground was still great except for more mosquitos than I’ve ever seen in my life.
The sewer needs to be seated in the ground so it’s not uphill from release on the Rv/trailer
Also this is a REALLY tight loop so even if your Rv or trailer fits the allowed length for the site, the numbering is illogical and the turnabouts are way too tight for even a 28’ trailer.

Sanitary pump lift station at our site wasn’t working properly.
Also seems like people are living at the campground for more permanent residence

Close enough to but also far away enough from the city lights .

We only spent a couple of nights at the campground on our trip cross country. It was very remote and quiet. Just what we were looking for.

When I arrived there was someone occupying the site I reserved. I had to drive to the office in order to contact the ranger who directed me to another occupied site. I finally found a free one however this park does not appeared to be regulated .

The lot was ok. Couldn't ever use the men's shower because the heat was never on. Had to go to the truck stop every couple days to shower. A waste of money to rent lots without shower's. When I asked if they could turn heat on, I was told they'd have to ask supervisor. Even then the heat wasn't turned on.
