Park was lovely. Campsite hosts and rangers were lovely. Showers and restrooms were great. Hosts were diligent in keeping us all clean and safe. We had a good experience. I would recommend that campers make sure they understand the vehicle pass information. This was confusing and inconsistent.

Apgar campground is located at the start of going to the Sun road and does have a hiking trail but we have to turn around as we saw a cub bear resting on hiking path, great location, clean bathrooms and water fill up. Campsites are spacious and not crowded with a picnic table and a fire ring, Campground is well kept

The restrooms in the campground are rundown, dirty, lacking soap, missing stall door and broken toilet.

Our site was listed for 8 people but it definitely was not an 8 person site. Could barely fit two tents. Got in trouble for not using tent pad but literally had no other space for second tent. The tent pad could fit maybe two, 2 person backpacking tents.
The first ranger we spoke with failed to give us the detailed info for the site, so we got yellow carded.
Had to use a shared bear box which wasn’t near camp which was frustrating. Wish each site had their own bear box since literally everything has to go in them.

Bathrooms and free showers were a nice surprise. Apgar village is a fun place to explore.
We did have a black bear poking around our camp, so beware.
