The grounds are well maintained. The shower although it had no place to lay your things was hot. When we got settled into our spot which was a challenge for us to back into we immediately heard the dogs. They barked all afternoon non-stop. We decided to chance another night because we were going to be out all day. The same thing once we returned they barked up to 10:30 until I fell asleep of exhaustion. The first night appeared to be shirtless drunk drove in after 10 wondering around the unattended store, I hollered if the person was ok and then went and asked something of my neighbor. The second night after ten pm a camper came in making all sorts of noise. They settled quickly but that should not be allowed, is the gate even locked?

Gorgeous camp spot tucked away deep into the park. Tough to park a rig you're towing as the rv spots are back in and it's tight but not impossible. It's quiet and beautiful here. I got in late so the ranger left my pre-ordered firewood at my site. Keep your pups leashed, the trash pandas are pretty active!
