We camp here often and enjoy it. This time the mosquitoes was unbearable we spent most of our time in the camper to get away from them. Also the lower part of the campground was roped off and not accessable because two birds decided to nest in the trees. Not an enjoyable trip this time. If they don't spray for mosquitoes, stay away. I would call first and ask the rangers.
