This is the definition of site catfishing. The photo showed a large site with lots of room and close access to water with it being a handicap accessible spot. We got there there was literally no room to even put our tent. It was right on the road, no water sight or easy access when you add the three lanes of campers between the site and water. We essentially showed up and left getting another useable site at North gorge.
