Our campsite #11 was mostly bumpy dirt - no grass. It rained a lot Saturday night and our whole campsite was muddy and puddle filled. We had to listen to a guy until midnight who was outside watching a ballgame. We heard him yelling and using bad language when plays were happening. Shouldn't there be quiet hours starting at 10pm? We also had a truck pull up Saturday afternoon and 2 guys brought out a chainsaw to cut up a fallen tree right behind our lot. We were hoping to enjoy nature not hear people cheering a late night game outside or hear a chainsaw!!!!! Where were the camp rangers????
