There was no one around our entire visit to questions. We did not even see a host.
Our site was beautiful with trees.
There was a lot of little trash around our site that I picked up.

When we arrived - after check-in, someone was on our site. We called the Recreation.gov number, left a message about the situation, then drove into town and grabbed some dinner to give them time to leave. We returned after 6. The person was still on the site. We never heard from the host, so we chose a site and left a message telling them what we did. We never did hear anything from the campground. Nice spot, but after driving all day, we would like to settle down without the waiting game.

The campground has a range of sites: full hookup, electric with water, electric only, and tent. There is a shower house with laundry facilities, too. The campground hosts and staff keep the shower house clean.
