VerifiedApril 28, 2023 • Stayed at: 6, Loop: Tent Area
Not obvious from the recreation.gov web site: you can't pull your car up to a tent campsite. Parking is in a small parking lot just above the tent sites.
The campsite was almost perfect. The only drawback was a morning of continuously barking dogs from the staff housing area.

Enjoyed my visit. Nice to have flush toilets and a heated bathroom. Trails were well maintained and marked.

Well-marked route from White's city on Hwy 62. Great tent site and access to restroom and water spigot for washing with trash dumpster nearby. Trail heads are short distance from campsite. Great quiet area!

Someone was in my campsite! I reserved ahead of time, and when I arrived, two people were already camped in my site. It was after the visitor center and ranger station were closed for the evening so we had to sort it out. Obviously we didn't have service. They thought all the sites were walk-in and up for grabs. Preventing these miscommunications in the future would be greatly appreciated! Nobody likes these types of confrontations, especially when it means one party may not have a place to sleep that night. Thanks!
