Spot 30 is huge and right next to the bathroom, the host was very present and super nice. Although the people next to us had a dog that was non stop barking and wandered into our campsite.

Nearly everything was good. The host, Rick, was very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked.
The only problem was that there was a group of men who drank and yelled and partied well into the night. I finally put earplugs in at midnight so that I could fall asleep. They were so inconsiderate and made that night really miserable.
