Awesome place to ride. camp ground is very clean and set up well. Noise never bothers us since that’s the point of going here. Worth the 7 hour drive every time we go!

The cleanest campground I've ever been to. Enough cell service to receive/send texts. Very quiet. Only problem I had was trying to find a level spot on my tent only site. There were large rocks all over the flattest spot and the the grass area didn't seem to be maintained at all so a lot of debris. I have from small holes in my tent footprint. Definitely recommend a heavy duty tarp if you are tent camping in loop D.

There didn’t seem to be any host or greeter. It would have been helpful if the map showed which areas were showers, flush toilets, or vault toilets. The map had the same symbol for all three and the locations didn’t have all three.
