Lovely park, nice people.
There should be something in your listing on Recreation.gov about the grade of the sites. I had to use 4 wheel drive to get into site 205 and dragged the rear of the unit as well as the stabilizer bars on the hitch. I also had to raise the trailer tongue to a height of 27 inches to level the unit. The site surface was such coarse gravel that it made it extremely difficult for me to walk since I need a stand up walker to get around. We wound up moving to another site, 80, for the second week of our stay so I could walk in the site without worrying about falling.
As a matter of fact, most of the sites surfaces in the park have up to 2 inch diameter rocks for surface.

Well maintained camping area. The restroom was fairly clean but the toilet paper was never re-stocked during our 3 night stay. We did enjoy ourselves and felt quite safe and secure.
