July 10, 2022 Stayed at: 010, Loop: COAL

The previous campers had left some trash on the site. Overall the site is nicely situated but seems to be a place for RVers on the weekends from nearby towns. The neighboring three sites were occupied by one big group who were playing loud music into the wee hours of the morning and ran their generator all night and day. Not really a good place for quiet tent camping.
