The campground was well maintained (restrooms cleaned each morning) with good tent pads, drinking water available in fountains and spout. I talked with the campground rangers twice and they were very helpful about the weather, park's status, things to do and places to visit. I had a great time!

Site B36 was good, It's really close to the bathrooms which is a blessing and a curse. People were walking by/through our campsite several times a day and the lights from the bathroom stay on all night.

The river running through was so pleasant. The bathroom was so nasty, I was only there toward the end of the one day I stayed but still, it was gross. The sites are very spacious but theres no privacy at individual sites, its very open. There's good trees for hammocking. The front office people were very nice and helpful. I will be back!
