I stayed in site #9 which is a good spot with lots of space, however there are two small access trails to the main trail that go right through that site. The problem is where in a normal campground common courtesy dictates not cutting through someones campsite those courtesies do not seem to exist here. Large groups of screaming kids were cutting through my campsite all during the day and into the night. I also talked to another camper that told me this was their favorite site except for the traffic through it. Those trails need to be moved further away from that site to better enhance the safety and experience of all who enjoy this recreation area.

This was a great little jewel of a campsite I had no idea was here. Quiet and peaceful bathrooms could use a little bit of updating but then again most people have an RV.
