No complaints at all. The season just started so it wasn’t crowded. I always use the “C” section which is best for solo or couples camping.

When I arrived on Saturday morning, having rented for Friday to Sunday, there was someone parked in my spot. So, I parked in my spot, behind the other car, blocking it in, since I had reserved it. A bit later, I was accosted by a very nasty person, who was upset that we had blocked her car in. She refused to acknowledge that she should not be in my spot, and she refused to move. So, in the interest of not having rocks thrown through my windshield, I moved on. Park ranger seem to be helpless in resolving the issue. I never got to use my camping spot for the weekend. Would like a refund.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the restroom for Loop C was open even though I was there before the end of March.
I was at Prince William for two days of orienteering and stayed some extra days to be able to do some hiking. The rangers at the Visitors Center were helpful with information about some of the hikes.

Our camp hosts were amazing! The bathhouse was in great condition and the other campers were very kind. The weather was cold but there was a super warm spirit!

great spot! this one had a moderate amount of privacy from the road loop and nice spacing between fire pit, table, and tent spots. There was also a little path to a small meadow accessible behind the site
