Sections A B C are for tents and small campers. Section D and F are for larger campers . Please be aware Generators are allowed in these two areas of campground.
This is a national park so no amenities except for bathroom is provided. Water is available at the dump station. No parking is allowed on campsites. Please park on paved areas.

Staff were pleasant and very helpful; assisted me in signing up for the Federal park pass.
Stayed in the non-RV section this time. Quiet; just birds singing and the sound of the water in a nearby stream.
Bathrooms were clean as well as fire ring area. Other campers were friendly yet respectful; no excessive lights and noise after 10pm.

For $30 a night, I at least expect soap in the bathrooms, and a working hand dryer. Pretty disappointed that this site had neither.

Very clean overall. Would like to have a basic trail map. In the RV water and electric hook ups would be nice.
