I wanted to give you some feedback from our stay. We moved to the 226 that we agreed to but we were not pleased. We had huge campers all the way around us and was not able to see the small children we took with us unless they were directly in-front of our camper. The campers surrounding us mush have all been friend or relatives due to the fact they were walking back and forth from camp site. The family members we were camping with were on the other side of the camping area. Which happened to be quite empty. If we had known there wasn’t going to be other campers by the 214 site we would have stayed there. There were several better options than the 226.
The park ranger stopped by to tell us we couldn’t have a small tent on the leaves. We immediately took the tent down but quickly noticed the camper across from us had a small tent and the campsite around the curve actually had 2 tents in the leaves, plus one in the tent pad.
