I cancelled based on a weather forecast of 60-70 mile per hour sustained winds with gusts to 100. I talked with the rangers after the wind storm passed and they commented that cancelling was a proper decision.

Everything was pretty nice, the bathrooms could have used a little attention (out of tp, broken urinal).

Beautiful, remote location! We had a great visit camping with our toddler. We were pleased to see bathroom facilities with running water and a sink to clean dishes. We'll be back!

If it wasn't for the snow flurries in the morning, we would have done more exploring/hiking in the area. We cut our stay short due to the weather.

Very clean and nice weather. If you want some time away from the world this is a great place to be, very serene.

Campground was nice and peaceful. The bathrooms were not cleaned for multiple days of our stay. They were out of toilet paper for 2 of the 5 days and the trash cans were overflowing.
