Understanding it was labor day weekend, we were patient. However, there was a lot more noise then I thought there would be and traffic by the camp spot. One big concern which the park service should address is that there was a camp spot at the end of the loop 2 that many people felt like was a "day use" parking spot and access. Thus, we had a lot of traffic and people were even coming into and making lots of noise running around right by our trailer at 5:30 in the morning bringing their families to fish! There also does not appear to be a camp host and also the campground has no gates to secure and shut it down at 10pm like other campgrounds in the area. Because of this we had a car drive within 5 to 10 feet from our camper at 3am in the morning and turn around and go out waking us up.

Other then that, the park was very nice and quiet most of the time. It is also very beautiful there. But they need to have some type of enforcement mechanism and someone watching over the park. They do not, and from a security standpoint, especially if there is very few people in the park when you are there which can be common, it is a concern. Especially when wanting to leave your trailer to go anywhere while staying there because of security aspects and no eyes watching.

Stayed in site 19 at the end. Overall a very nice campsite that we could launch our kayaks from. The road from the highway made for or a nice daily walk. On weekends there were a lot of late night drive bys . Some were probably bored teenagers, but others were people staying the night for free. Other than that it was a nice campground.
