We had a great time overall - with our scout troop who had not been together camping during COVID. The campground is beautiful in October and the amphitheater was a great place for a night of entertainment. The Observatory was closed, but we hiked up anyway - with some fun facts to tell along the way. However, the absence of a camp host was obvious - we ran out of toilet paper Saturday afternoon and although no fires were allowed, people had them anyway - hard to explain to the scouts why some people don't follow rules and we had to hope for no embers given the "extreme fire danger". Ranger's office was notified.

No spot on the plot was level for the tent. Only one hiking trail up to the Observatory, with almost no views. Very hot this time of year. Just not much activities to do.
