Only stayed one night in my easy farther north, but thought my site a good site (though it was quite awkward to back into; a nearby camper said it's the hardest of the loop to get into). The facilities were a plus with flush toilet & shower.

We struggled locating campground using Google Maps. Should have noted directions on recreation.gov for reservation. Campground is very secluded -- good spot for a multi-day reservation.
