It was a great weekend except for the fact that another camper had dogs that barked at anyone walking by. Bathrooms were clean and the campsite were also clean.

Nice location, great price point, nice sites, and helpful staff. It would be nice if the sites had hook-ups, but we have a camper that is made for boon docking. (Just can't use the air conditioning on those hot, muggy summer days.)

Before booking make sure you investigate, in detail, the site you want to book. Maximum lengths do not seem to be clearly shown. Access to some of the sites is not easy, especially when there are trees and hedges opposite the site entrance.

we hate to see the National Parks staff being cut ! Our Parks belong to to the people of the USA and are enjoyed year round by multitudes of visitors. And I now see that some of the Park lands are in jeopardy. DISGRACEFUL !!!

Rangers & staff are putting in double time due to the cuts to seasonal hiring.
The park is, as always, a wonderful place to camp & spend time.
Visitors need to be mindful of their surroundings:
Pick-up your trash. Keep the bathrooms & shower stalls as nice for the next person as you would have it for yourself. Make an effort to maintain this beautiful place for the visiting humans AND the wildlife that calls this place Home.
And, PLEASE, remember to watch out for all critters & teach your children to do the same. Don't chase them please. They're just trying to live.
The pony Ranger was missed this year. We were informed that she was "on furlough". Laura is the Human highlight of the Pony Pen. Always personable & happy to answer visitors questions & concerns. Hope to see her back on the job next June on our return.
You have some excellent staff & we hope they will be recognized as such!
