Evidently you don't actually need a reservation at this campground. I made a reservation months in advance for a spot specific for my physical and mental needs. When I arrived, I was informed that "a guy" was "squatting" in my reserved spot. He was "pretty dug in" so the ranger "had saved a spot" for me across the way. A terrible spot in between the bathroom and a group of screaming teenagers who stayed up all night yelling. It was really hard to hike back to my car after getting two hours of sleep.

The campground is beautiful, lots of trees and more songbirds than I have ever heard at once as we woke up in the morning. Amazing! The bear box was plenty big for all our food/toiletry items and a nice picnic table. This particular campsite was not very private. It shares space with the site beside it, but that site was vacant while we were there so it wasn’t an issue - would be a good site for two groups wanting to camp beside one another. This is a highly trafficked area of the campground near the entrance of the campground so there were a lot of cars passing by. While very convenient near the bathroom and water, there was quite a bit of pedestrian traffic cutting through our site to get there. It was very loud all night and not at all restful. Quiet hours were not respected or enforced. Perhaps we just chose the wrong site, but not the quiet getaway we had hoped for. We will look to a different area of this campground next time we are in the area.
