nice location, quiet campsite, the only downside is that it was a bit muddy around the picnic table due to the terrain

Stayed in the Upper Loop of the campground, which is forested and was private and quiet despite the loop being full. The swimming area was a nice place to relax during the day and was a shorter walk from the site than I was anticipating. Only complaint was that the bathhouse with showers only had one shower per gender for both loops, we were there on a weekend and there was a constant long line...even turning one of the changing rooms into a shower would make a huge difference. Otherwise great and we plan to camp here again. Note that site 13 has a bit of a natural seep into it after several sustained days of rain, so the area around the fire pit/picnic table area kept filling with water despite it not raining at all during our stay, it remained sloppy despite other sites having dried out. Fire pit itself and the obvious tent pad remained dry though.
