It was the off season, so just this area was open. Not busy, Nice and quiet, just the way we like it. Although we did have trouble finding fire wood, none available on-site and hard to find in the local area. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. He had a great sense of humor, we really enjoyed talking with him and hearing his jokes.

They discriminate. I have 1 leg and my camper is an older camper and was asked to leave when the season opened back up and then was told u can't live there but there has been other people living there. This place only has 3 handicap sites and they r closed for the winter and this campground is no where handicap accessible. The rangers have poor people skills.

I understand it's winter season but if you're going to have open bathrooms you should have open showers as well. It would be great to see showers at this location. I camp everywhere in the winter and most places have showers. The bathroom part is nice but a shower is needed for mens and women's.
