Do not camp near the toilets if at all possible. Our site was great but smell of toilet really distracted from the overall experience. The campground was well kept and employees were friendly.

I had thieves steal both of my fly equipement the first night. Site 10. These are not other campers but locals who hit the campgrounds every few weeks. It had happened before and sure would have helped had there been a warning sign on the bulletin board. Lock your stuff up. Pretty sad.
