Site A41 was great. A very large pad with two parking spots off the loop road and a small bear box. The woods behind and to each side make the site feel secluded even though you can still see the adjoining sites. We have a very large tent and had room for the tent, a screen tent around the picnic table, two cook tables, 6 chairs, and plenty of room left for whatever else we could have needed.
Bathrooms were a short walk away and were very clean. Women's had 4 stalls and two showers, men's 2 showers, stalls and urinals. There is also a single room accessible bathroom with what appeared to be a wheel-in shower. Showers had good water pressure and very hot water. Make sure you have a good flashlight after dark - there are snakes living under the bathhouse that frequent the porch, but will move out of your way quickly.
Loop A feels very private and was not at all crowded during our 3 night stay. If you want a more social camping experience it seems Loops C and D are busier and have the electric and RV spots. Camp store is just across the street and is well stocked. Visitor Center is also across the street and the rangers were helpful. There is a pool open Fri-Sun; be aware there is a $3 fee to use it even as a campground guest.

We stayed on site C10, and it was great, but it did have a little bit of a drop-off right at the edge of the drive, making it a little precarious getting off the steps. I would choose that site again, though, because it was in a good spot and pretty private. We wanted to do some hiking, but after talking with a ranger, we decided we were too old for much of that since most of the trails are quite long. Another thing: we had 3 girls with us who wanted to swim, so be aware, the pool is only open on Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
