On Thursday and Friday August 29 & 30 there was no toilet paper, no paper towels and no hand soap. By Saturday afternoon there was some supplies in the restrooms.Would also like to see some updates like a dump station more places to get water. I believe people would be willing to pay a little more for more amenities . We have been coming here for years and ever since Steve the camp host has left the site has gone down hill.

A pleasant place to camp off season when most of campground is empty. While nice that they were even offered, for a national forest campground, the 2 showers and bathrooms were in dire need of renovation. The vault toilets at other end of campground were clean and relatively odor-free.
