We rented a group site E8 for our large group. The campground is beautiful with flushing toilets and sinks in the bathrooms. Loop A has a shower house with 3 showers. The vegetation is lovely and peaceful. We loved the camp host Don. He was very helpful and would ride around on his bike checking up on everyone. We had barely any Verizon cell service and it was a little better with ATT, but not enough to really use the internet. The visitor center is a nice walk down a wooded path. Apgar Village is adorable and we also rented some cabins for those in our group who didn't want to camp. We always do large family camping trips in the summer to a National Park. I think this was my favorite one so far! RV's with slides have to be careful because the roads are narrow and they have to park right off it in the group sites. I think they should also build more shower houses because there was usually a line with such a large campground sharing 3 showers.

The campsites were designed with privacy in mind. The staff are friendly, communicated well with my grandson who wore his ranger jr button with pride! Understanding as well! More than half of the party cancelled due to weather, a grouchy teenager parked where she was told not to. She was fortunate to only receive a warning and not a ticket. I was thankful for not receiving a fine. Facilities were clean. Just a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this location. Great Job Apgar Staff! ❤️
