The site was good, however, there was no water and the walking bridge was out.

The stream crossings were much better than past years. The site was clean as usual. The well did not work and there was no hand sanitizer in the bathroom.

Would have been excellent except that once again there was no water available at the site. Upper Cover Creek. The pump house needs to be fixed.

The spot is perfect as usual. But yet again, the water did not work at all! We come several times a year, usually in the winter. Thought they would have the water situation figured out by now. Seems like we should get a refund for having to buy water!
