Camp sites were too close to each other and the attendents were overbearing.

There were a couple outside fountains that were not operating around the A loop, and we arrived a little too late to get firewood from the vendor. Gorgeous scenery and great facilities though!!

no showers is one thing no soap or hand sanitizer in the bathrooms is another. currently they have everyone on top of each other with more than half of the campground closed and the sites are so close that i was able to hear someone snoring from inside my tent. the one trail i went on here was poorly made and labeled and it made me not wanna go on any of the other trails. tried to get firewood and they had the gate locked when ur just supposed to put money in the donation box and it goes by honor system. i really wanted to like this campground, but the 26 miles i had to drive from civilization to there was not worth it.

We were guests at just the right time -- the leaves were amazing! We also enjoyed seeing all the elk between the park and Cherokee.
