As usual the camp ground and sites were wonderful. It would have been a good idea for someone to go around and check occasionally because the people in A37 did all their cooking on the bathroom porch, using the electric outlet to cook with a toaster oven. We felt they should have paid for a site with electricity instead of alway being on the bathroom porch, which wasn't appropriate.

Most sites are fairly level but vary in length. As with most campgrounds, some offer more privacy than others. The campground offers several loops, and the bathrooms are great- lots of hot water and very clean. Water pressure is very good with reliable electricity. Grab a map because there's unlimited hiking and spectacular scenery.

Campsite was large and level, the campground was very nice. Would like to have wi-fi at the campsites instead of driving to the visitor center. Also, the website said the camp store was open Friday - Sunday, but it was closed the Sunday we were there.

Not likely to happen again but I was camping in the midst of four families who had no regard for quite hours. They were blasting their TV and partying well past midnight. Loved the park but not my neighbors.
