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.

If you want no one contacting you, then this is the place for you. Its like the park service forgot this place existed. I only saw trail staff early in the morning and they disappeared after that. Really only two trails from this park and a "nature" trail. Wouldnt recommend more than two nights here.
Also, the wifi (the only means of emergency communication) works sporadically. Something is wrong with their configuration where it won't negotiate a proper IP address

Never saw a ranger. Also there's no food storage available. With tent camping being walk in from car, there's really nowhere to properly store food in camp. You have great trash cans but no food storage lockers

Beautiful location. The thing that amazed the most was that the bathrooms have heater set up. The site is gorgeous, clean and well marked. Checking in was easy. Love that the wifi reached to my tent (site 2) and was able to send work emails as I relaxed for the evening
