Great campground. Good facilities. Clean restrooms. Plenty of trash service. We really like this place. Some things not so great...heavy tanin presence in water makes it taste like dirt. Use a filter...or two. Trash service is extremely loud and very early on Tuesday mornings. Your fellow campers will not keep their dogs on leash and will park on shoulders which restricts your approach to and departure from your campsite. Rangers here are very pleasant but don't enforce their own requirements e.g. dogs and parking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our latest camping adventure. However we still fervently DO NOT like the required reservation system to get a reserved campsite. For people who want to camp longer that just one weekend, it is extremely difficult to find full service campsites that are available. Campers block the sites on the weekends making full service sites unavailable for longer stays.
