We had reservations for 2 nights and found the park closed for both nights. Drove around the park from the South side to the North and found it was still closed. The process for requesting refund was difficult to navigate.

14 Jan 2025, Two notes of caution: 1) Each site does not have a bear-proof food storage locker. There is only one for the entire campground. 2) There are no bike racks to secure your bicycle while you may be away, if you bikepack to this location, or if you want to use a bicycle as a shuttle option to/from another trailhead in conjunction with your automobile.
