Only one night - site 024 - all sites were out in the open - no shaded spots - higher $ than other ACOE campgrounds we’ve stayed at…with less services - looks like it might be geared toward fly fishermen - neat solar USB charging station - nice playground area - never connected with staff/host - water faucet frozen at dump station

Campsites are well maintained and the fire-pit/grill & picnic table are really nice to have. One plus I would rather not have proven out is how well the sites drain. We had a lot of rain the night we stayed but, as stated, we stayed nice and dry in our tents and it was obvious the following morning that no puddles formed.
