*Unreliable reservation system.* A large group was in my reserved site when I arrived at 7 p.m. and there was no ranger or camp host that could help me at all. Very frustrating after having booked the reservation a few months in advance. And of course all other sites were full. Seems very easy to poach a spot at these sites and there is no accountability/camp hosts/rangers to help in a situation like this. This party also used their generator during hours you were not supposed to. They were not at the site when I initially arrived (but lots of RVs and tents setup). I also would not have felt comfortable confronting them. Book at your own risk.

Some trash left behind by previous campers, and red ants near the tables but otherwise very quiet, beautiful view, clean bathroom, and nice shelter for the site with multiple tent spaces.

We were there during the Safari Jeep Week and the area was busy. Despite the business the staff was amazing! Our campsite/campground was clean and well maintained. We always look forward to visiting this area in the spring.

Nice place. Over regulated, but it is busy so I get it.

Clean and close to the best trails, parking was a little tight but everything else was fantastic. Would do it again.

Overall great. Noisy with ATVs but to be expected. Don't why though they can't put an open air, shed roof of sorts over the toilet. Have been there when it's pouring and had to erect our own tarp rain shelter over the toilet

The size was awesome! Beautiful views, flat, close to the bathrooms. When we arrived over an hour after our site was available to occupy there was a very large group from the night before that had not even started to back up. I would have liked to have seen better oversight at the time people should be out of the site so that we were not waiting in the car with small kids after a long drive to get set up.
