Beautiful area, super clean bathrooms! Beware! Site number 2 and 3 are right on top of each other and share the same bear box so we had no privacy and were forced to socialize with our neighbor which was annoying

The site for the travel trailer was a parking lot next to the dumpster, with bears frequenting.

DO NOT book spots 2 or 3. They are essentially the same spot with two picnic tables, two fire pits and one bear locker. There is nothing to separate them. Absolutely ridiculous.
